One studio allocated 15% to world model R&D.
Shipped zero world model games.
Implemented 5 breakthrough AI features in their main pipeline from the research.
ROI: 3.2x
The learning compounds even when experiments fail.
When Genie 2 dropped and everyone said "game engines are dead!"
Genie 3 just launched with "improved coherence and consistency."
And we're still seeing the exact same fundamental blockers after a year in the trenches advising AI gaming startups.
Right now the smartest studios I advise/talk to run dual tracks:
Production: Traditional engines + AI tools (3-5x faster asset/NPC creation)
R&D: World model experiments for genres that embrace unpredictability
Genie 3 helps track #2, not track #1 yet
It's over.
Hollywood isn't ready for what AI is about to do to production.
Creatives are dropping INSANE videos with Veo, Kling, Hailuo...

Creator Ecosystem updates are on the way. Here are some of the big updates coming soon:
In December, developers will be able to sell items directly from their Fortnite islands, opening up new revenue potential, in addition to receiving engagement payouts from Fortnite item shop sales.
In case this wasn’t clear: breaking the rules has consequences.
When a creator is banned, their islands are not eligible for engagement pay. We've steered $4.7 million away from bad actors who broke the rules and back into the engagement payout pool.
And so far this year, we’ve issued:
- 1,800+ publishing bans
- 30,000+ off-platform takedowns against scam promos
When creators try to game the system, it messes things up for everyone, especially for those who play by the rules.
