Expert Verified By

Steam's New Policy Forced Devs To Confess AI Usage!

Story Highlight
  • Call of Duty has confirmed AI usage for generating assets in-game in Black Ops 6.
  • The game was forced to admit to the use as part of Steam’s new policy requiring developers to be upfront about AI usage.
  • The game has allegedly used AI to sell cosmetics since 2023’s Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has been slammed by the fans for having generic skins and loading screens. Many have even accused the game of selling AI-generated cosmetics.

Call of Duty has confirmed this on its Steam page. The developers describe generative AI tools to help develop in-game assets.

Why it matters: AI usage in video games has been highly controversial and backlashed. However, selling cosmetics with zero to minimal effort using generative models is a low blow by Call of Duty.

Call of Duty was practically forced into admitting its AI usage as per Steam’s new policy, which requires developers to be upfront about their AI usage in the game’s production under its page.

While the game has just confirmed its usage, gamers have suspected Call of Duty of selling AI-generated cosmetics for quite some time now. This dates all the way back to 2023’s Modern Warfare 3 when Activision was first alleged to sell AI-generated skins.

While the developers haven’t specified which of the game’s assets were made via AI, many speculate it to be the zombie loading screen during the holidays.

Earlier reports also suggested that the developers have laid off quite a few of its 2D artists and forced the remaining to use AI for producing the game’s art, saying it is more efficient and promising.
