In February 2025, Microsoft Research unveiled Muse, a model that creates “games” displaying real-time player-controlled images. Most recently, Microsoft has allowed players to experience this model through the Copilot Gaming Experience on their website, cloning the game Quake II (which is now owned by Microsoft themselves through Bethesda, so there are no copyright issues). The game we have the opportunity to play looks like Quake II, using the WASD keys on the keyboard to control, jump, shoot, and rotate the camera, but the scenes in the game are new and unique, never before seen in Quake II (because they were created by the model without the game’s engine). The images generated by Muse are limited to 640×360 resolution and can only be played for short periods of time (according to the published research, playing for too long will cause the model to deteriorate, as well as quality control issues as time passes).

TLDR: Microsoft Research released the Muse model, allowing players to control real-time images in a game, with limited resolution and playtime.
