Itch.io said on November 3, 2026 that it deleted a couple of terabytes of AI-generated content and expanded its AI filters. Users can now exclude games made with different types of generative AI. The platform had noted that daily game page creation doubled from 3,000 to 6,000. Separately, Valve admitted it is running behind on approving Steam games because of repeated re-reviews, and introduced a new checklist for developers.
