Worldmodeldata's CEO believes video game data will make up the majority of world-model training material, later tuned with task-specific data.

“Loucas believes that video game data will ultimately make up the majority of the training material for world models, which will later be optimized using data specific to a given real-world environment or task.”

• Worldmodeldata, which raised a GBP 7M seed in July 2026 to supply gameplay data for world models, says it has licensed almost 1 million hours of data from studios behind popular video games; it names no studio and states no price, and paying individual players is a plan, not yet an arrangement.
• Worldmodeldata is packaging controller inputs and other data collected by video game studios to fill the shortage of world-model training data.
• Worldmodeldata pitches itself as a broker that curates studio data so labs avoid striking individual agreements with many game studios.
• General Intuition and Niantic are already collecting video game data from their own platforms to build models.
• WIRED reports there is no corpus of training material for world model labs comparable to the text available to language models.
• Nvidia's world model lead says models trained on video game inputs are unlikely to do well at fine-grained motor control such as object manipulation.

• Datasets, tasks and environments
