Games with AI-generated content disclosure now make up about one in three new releases, up from roughly 13 per month to 530 per month. However, their share of estimated sales remains low, at 10-27 percent in late 2025 to 2026, with only 55 percent of the sales success rate of non-AI games.","whyItMatters":"The report shows AI-disclosed games are flooding Steam but not translating into proportional sales, suggesting the market impact is limited unless hits emerge.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSteam\u0026#39;s AI-generated content disclosure, introduced in January 2024, has become a defining feature of new releases. Sulka Haro\u0026#39;s analysis of 53,597 games from July 2023 to July 2026 finds that AI-disclosed games now account for roughly one in three new releases, with monthly counts rising from about 13 to 530. Yet their estimated sales share grew only to 10-27 percent by late 2025 to 2026, and the rate at which they reach 3,000 estimated sales is just 55 percent of non-AI games, a gap that has not improved in two years.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaro notes that successful AI-disclosed games tend to use AI across multiple formats, including voice and localization, and often disclose human review and adjustment. In contrast, low-review games typically use AI only for art assets with simpler disclosures. The report also finds that AI-disclosed games have slightly lower average positive review rates, 77 percent versus 81 percent for non-AI games.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Sulka Haro's data shows Steam's AI-disclosed games jumped from 13 to 530 monthly releases, yet their sales share caps at 27%.
