The rate was 1.7 percent in January 2024, when Valve began requiring disclosure, 13.2 percent across 2024, 24.0 percent across 2025, and 40.1 percent for 2026 through October. Art is the most common purpose at 63 percent of disclosing games.","whyItMatters":"The survey shows disclosure spreading across half of new Steam releases while the stated purposes stay narrow, with art far ahead of text, marketing, music, coding, voice, and in-game content generation, so the headline number says more about paperwork than about games built around AI.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe survey covers roughly 63,600 games released since January 2024 and reads Steam\u0026#39;s own disclosure flags, then sorts each disclosure text by purpose. Art leads at 63 percent of disclosing games, followed by text and translation at 30 percent, store pages and marketing at 26 percent, music at 21 percent, coding at 16 percent, voice at 7 percent, and content generation during gameplay at 3 percent.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValve does not require disclosure when generative AI is used only as a development efficiency tool and no AI content reaches the product. Coding assistance still gets reported in some cases. ploz also compared review scores: among games with 50 or more reviews, the average approval rating is 77 percent for disclosing games and 83 percent for those without disclosure.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Art accounts for 63 percent of Steam's AI disclosures, so the 49.9 percent figure mostly counts image generation. Valve's disclosure rule tracks what developers admit, not how much AI sits in the finished game.","twitterPost":"Art is 63 percent of Steam's AI disclosures, so the 49.9 percent mostly counts image tools, not code or writing.","threadsPost":"Art is the stated purpose in 63 percent of Steam's AI disclosures, which makes the 49.9 percent figure largely a count of image generation. Valve's rule records what developers admit to using, and the purposes behind the other 37 percent stay split across code, writing, and audio.","newsletterBlurb":"A survey by ploz, operator of the unofficial Steam database PCGame.com, puts generative AI disclosure at 49.9 percent of new Steam games in October 2026, up from 1.7 percent in January 2024.
