Heartopia

The cozy life simulation game Heartopia, reminiscent of Animal Crossing with chibi anime style, has updated its Steam page to reveal the use of generative AI following player complaints. Developed by XD International, the game launched on January 17, 2026, and quickly peaked at over 35,000 concurrent players. However, its 66% positive review rating reflects criticism over the initial lack of transparency about AI in puzzles and chat features.
