Microsoft’s Xbox and Inworld AI have partnered to create AI-powered game development tools for narrative and character creation.
This multi-year co-development partnership is aimed to enable AI-inspired creativity in video games. The partnership is a quest to deliver an accessible, responsibly designed multi-platform AI toolset.
This toolset is geared toward assisting and empowering creators in dialogue, story, and quest design. Inworld AI recently raised $50 million at a $500 million valuation. Not bad for a new generative AI startup.
“Together, we aim to deliver an accessible, responsibly designed multi-platform AI toolset to assist and empower creators in dialogue, story, and quest design. As with all creator tools at Xbox, our goal is to deliver state-of-the-art AI for game developers of any size, anywhere in the world, and on every platform where players want to play,” said Haiyan Zhang, general manager of gaming AI at Xbox, in a statement. “We want to help make it easier for developers to realize their visions, try new things, push the boundaries of gaming today, and experiment to improve gameplay, player connection and more.”

The collaborative effort will marry Inworld’s expertise in generative AI models for character development with Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud-based AI solutions, including Azure OpenAI Service. And Microsoft Research’s technical insights into the future of play will play a pivotal role, and Team Xbox will contribute its strengths in developing accessible and responsible creator tools for all developers.
The partnership will introduce two critical tools:
AI Design Copilot: This tool is designed to assist and empower game designers in exploring more creative ideas. It transforms prompts into detailed scripts, dialogue trees, quests, and more.
AI Character Runtime Engine: This engine can be integrated into the game client and enables entirely new narratives with dynamically generated stories, quests, and dialogue for players to experience.
During the pre-production phase of game development, designers, developers, and writers lay the foundation for a game’s world, lore, mechanics, narrative events, and character storylines. This groundwork informs scripts, art direction, and core game loops during production.
The AI co-pilot that Xbox and Inworld are building aims to reduce time and resource constraints during production, allowing developers to ship games faster and craft more expansive and immersive worlds and stories. The co-pilot serves as an assistant to game

The genre mashup Thirsty Suitors was a ‘refuge’ for its developers
After nearly three years in development, Outerloop Games and Annapurna Interactive’s Thirsty Suitors was released on Nov. 2. From the beginning, the Outerloop Games team knew a few things: They wanted to make a game about relationships, and they wanted it to reflect the lived experience of its developers in telling an immigrant story. So much of the game was built out from there to create the wholly unique, genre-bending Thirsty Suitors — a game that blends its story up with cooking games, turn-based battles, and skateboarding.

Microsoft Partners With Inworld to Bring AI Game Development Tools to Its Studios
Microsoft is teaming up with Inworld AI to create game development tools for Xbox, enabling developers to create characters, generate entire scripts and quests, and more. The multi-year deal brings an AI design copilot and an AI character runtime engine to the forefront, both of them being totally optional to use and to varying degrees. Of course, the use of AI in art has been criticised by many for simply lacking originality, in addition to running the risk of fewer jobs for artists — a growing fear among many considering the alarming number of layoffs seen at game studios this year in an attempt to cut costs.
