Muse is Microsoft's new generative AI for game development that promises to be a gameplay concept tool – it will ideate playable ideas, building game visuals, controller inputs and more. It sounds groundbreaking but Muse feels like a tech experiment rather than the game development revolution Microsoft is pitching.

Microsoft views the Muse AI model more as a tool for game preservation and concept brainstorming than a way to replace human-made video games.

Microsoft debuted Muse, a generative AI model that can be trained to output video game visuals and predict controller inputs. The company describes the technology as the future of gameplay ideation, not as something to be used in place of human creativity during game development.
