Sepreth(@Sepreth):An Xbox business manager says the company uses AI and that you can make a game with a simple prompt. Brandon Stirrup, who works on Xbox business strategy, said gaming is the only industry still pretending not to use AI because of negative user sentiment. He made a small game in three hours of active work over a weekend using Unreal with MCP, despite never having made a game before. Stirrup said he is willing to take the hit so hundreds of people at Xbox can stop pretending they are not using AI. The statements treat AI use as already common inside Xbox, with the quick prototype offered as proof that basic game creation no longer requires traditional development experience.
