«No GenAI Game»: French Players Launch List of Games Made Without Generative AI
A new curation page on Steam, titled «No GenAI Game», has been introduced in France, showcasing video games crafted without the use of generative AI. This initiative follows the «No AI» list, which has documented almost 50 games utilizing generative AI since 2024, including the South Korean title Inzoi. Featured on «No GenAI Game» are human-created games such as Hadès, Absolum, Peak, The Abbess Garden, and After The Wane. Notably, The Doll Shop, a hand-drawn horror-romance game from L'Atelier Sentô, is set to launch on October 12, 2026. As of 2025, around 7% of Steam's catalog—nearly 8,000 games—acknowledge the use of generative AI, with the page promoting "real human work."
