CD Projekt Red’s Michał Nowakowski believes fully AI-generated games are on the horizon but questions whether that’s the right direction.
AI is the technology trend dominating discussions in 2026. Whether you’re for it or against it, whether you’re watching random AI-generated memes on social media or seeing ads, that’s where the technology will help you get new work fast; AI is everywhere. In the gaming industry, the rise of generative AI has led to more small games being released across platforms, and even major studios are discussing how the technology will shape the industry’s future.
Now, a CD Projekt Red executive is weighing in on the technology and what he’s heard about fully AI-generated games becoming more common.

During an interview for EDGE’s Knowledge newsletter (via GamesRadar+), CD Projekt Red’s Michał Nowakowski revealed that he had spoken with a studio lead who said he had multiple projects in the works, with AI supercharging development.

“I was in a conversation with a person who started a studio and was telling me: ‘I’m running a primarily AI-based studio. I can have 40 prototypes within a week, two weeks from now I can have five games that I chose are going to be the best, and three weeks from now, I’m actually launching a game.’
“Maybe that’s going to be successful, but I have some doubts whether this is really the path to follow.”
