## Key points

- Claude will refuse requests to recreate specific existing games.
- Original games and user-created designs remain permitted.
- The change follows a rise in AI-made browser game projects.

## Summary

Anthropic has updated Claude to prevent it from recreating specific existing video games, aiming to reduce copyright infringement. The change comes amid a rise in AI-assisted projects that recreate major games for browsers.

Claude can still help make original games, games in a genre, and projects based on a user’s own designs and assets. Anthropic technical staff member Addy Osmani said the company plans to keep adjusting the policy; the move follows reports of browser fan projects based on Halo: Combat Evolved, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Grand Theft Auto V. Anthropic previously agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement in a copyright case brought by authors, and Elvis Presley’s estate has also filed suit against the company.
