ElserAI launches Playworlds on Oct 7, 2026. An AI-driven RPG where the story and dialogue are generated by AI. Free to download, but content creation uses a credit system.

Playworlds from ElserAI launches into Early Access on Steam on October 7, 2026, as an AI-powered Game Master online RPG. Players create characters, select worlds, and type what they want to do; the system then narrates events, dialogue, and outcomes based on chosen actions.

The game features AI-driven companions, character and item management, dice rolling, and a recorded adventure history for resuming play. The Steam version connects to the web version of the same service but requires a Playworlds account and an internet connection.

The Steam page states that the app is free to download during Early Access and afterward, but creating content via AI incurs costs in credits, which can be earned through daily rewards or purchased in packs. The developer disclosed the use of OpenRouter, Google Gemini, and MiniMax for text and voice, while warning that AI response quality may vary between sessions.
