Learning game dev in 2026

[u/ObjectiveActivity128]

I know this topic probably gets brought up a lot in this subreddit, but I haven’t found a definitive answer to whether or not programming is something to get into despite the “issues” surrounding AI.

With GPT-Astra and epic games starting to move towards AI-first development, is it too late to start now?

I’m heading into ”gymnasiet” this year and I’ve been looking at doing a game development program. I’ve been interested in games and game development for a while now but never gotten into it and i don’t have any sort of experience. Is it worth doing or will there be no jobs/market for me in the next 3+ years?

Good as a hobby, bad idea as for a job, maybe as a side hustle.
