Valve tweak Steam AI disclosure form for developers to clarify it’s for content consumed by players

Back in early 2024, Valve put up new guidelines for recreation builders on Steam to drag in some details about generative AI, and so they now appear to have tweaked it.

As noticed by GameDiscoverCo and posted on Bluesky, the shape builders should fill out has seen a number of tweaks within the wording primarily to make clear that it is for content material that’s truly seen and consumed by gamers. From advertising and marketing supplies on the Steam web page, to content material within the recreation – however not together with AI software helpers of their recreation improvement setting. As Valve say now on the shape:

“Effectivity positive aspects by using these instruments is just not the main focus of this part. As an alternative, it’s involved with using AI in creating content material that ships together with your recreation, and is eat by gamers. This consists of content material comparable to paintings, sound, narrative, localization, and so forth.”

So it is all about what we truly see, and break up between pre-generated and live-generated which have separate sections for builders to tick, together with nonetheless being required to jot down a press release on what’s used to show on the Steam retailer web page.

To me, it looks like a fairly sane clarification to make. And, additionally you’ll be able to nonetheless use the AI browser extension to raised spotlight video games with generative AI on Steam.
