Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, is expanding into video game development, seeking candidates with game design experience.
On Thursday morning, Musk shared a post on X from the account @techdevnotes that read, "xAI is Hiring for Video Games," with Musk responding, "True."
Musk signaled interest in game development last year, writing on X: "Too many game studios are owned by massive corporations. @xAI is going to start a new game studio to make games great again!"
Musk founded xAI in 2023 with the goal of "understanding the true nature of the universe." The company has developed the Grok chatbot and partnered with X to power the conversational AI on the platform.
Musk faces competition in the growing AI gaming market. Microsoft's Xbox is working with Inworld AI on multiyear projects,
