The9's AI-Developed Mobile Game 'The Greed of Man' Tops App Store and Google Play Charts in Hong Kong
The9 Limited (Nasdaq: NCTY) announced that its mobile simulation game, The Greed of Man《大時代》, reached No. 1 on the Simulation Games category for both the Apple App Store and Google Play in Hong Kong after launching on September 24, 2026. Developed using The9's proprietary AI platform called 9bit, the game was created through a process that combines multiple AI models with specialized workflows to streamline production tasks such as content generation, debugging, asset creation, and integration. The game is based on an iconic TVB drama of the same name, which has been popular among Chinese audiences for over three decades. The9's CEO George Lai emphasized how this project demonstrates the efficiency gains from using AI in game development, reducing a typical two-to-three-year process to just eight months and creating reusable workflows that can benefit future projects. The company plans to expand the game’s availability into mainland China soon, leveraging its existing brand recognition. The9 aims to continue integrating AI across its game production pipeline as part of broader strategic goals.
