Additionally, the SFX Library has been refreshed. These enhancements position ElevenLabs’ AI-powered SFX generation as a valuable tool for game developers, content creators, and businesses seeking scalable, high-fidelity audio assets with rapid turnaround. The integration of looping and longer durations addresses key use cases in gaming, film, and interactive media, while the API access broadens enterprise opportunities for automating sound design workflows (Source: @elevenlabsio, September 2, 2025).
