Shortly after revealing Crazy Taxi: World Tour at the Xbox Games Showcase, Sega faced criticism when fans spotted a generative AI disclosure on the game's Steam page. The publisher says AI tools were only used for background asset references during development and that everything in the finished game will be original work reviewed by its team. Series creator Kenji Kanno added that the AI material was for internal reference only, but the episode has reignited debate among players over AI's role in game development.
