Microsoft has recently unveiled an exciting new development in the gaming world: Xbox Muse, a generative AI model designed to revolutionize game ideation and preservation. Developed in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios’ Ninja Theory, Muse is a groundbreaking tool that leverages real player inputs to create gameplay sequences.
Xbox Muse, short for World and Human Action Model (WHAM), is a generative AI model trained using data from Ninja Theory’s multiplayer battle arena game, Bleeding Edge. The model can generate both game visuals and controller actions, providing a detailed understanding of the 3D game world, including game physics and player interactions.
Muse was trained using anonymized data from 500,000 play sessions of Bleeding Edge. This extensive dataset allows the AI to simulate realistic gameplay sequences, demonstrating a significant step towards generative AI models that can empower game creators2. The model can generate gameplay visuals at a resolution of 300×180 pixels, a considerable improvement over previous models.
One of the most exciting aspects of Xbox Muse is its potential to revive nostalgic games that are no longer playable on modern hardware. By leveraging AI technology, developers can port old games to new platforms, making them accessible to future generations of players2. This not only preserves gaming history but also opens up new creative possibilities for game developers.
Microsoft plans to discuss AI experiences from Xbox in greater detail at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2025. Additionally, the company aims to make a series of AI-powered game experiences available on its Copilot Labs website, where subscribers can access various experimental AI features.
Xbox Muse represents a significant advancement in the intersection of AI and gaming. By harnessing the power of generative AI, Microsoft is paving the way for innovative game development and the preservation of classic games. As we look forward to more updates from Microsoft, the gaming community eagerly anticipates the exciting possibilities that Xbox Muse will bring.
