Microsoft has announced Xbox Labs, a new team that will study how generative AI can be applied to game development. According to the announcement, the lab will explore AI-assisted 'vibe-coded' game mashups, mods and ports, signalling that Xbox wants to bring AI tooling into how games are built and adapted.
Why now: Microsoft's push into generative AI for game creation raises questions about the future of development work and modding.
