Meta is going to let you build games with AI right on your phone
Meta has announced two new AI-powered tools, Horizon Create and Horizon Studio, that allow users to generate mobile games using text prompts. These games will be integrated directly into Facebook and Instagram feeds, enabling users to play them without downloading separate applications. The move aims to boost engagement on Meta's Horizon platform, which has historically struggled to compete with rivals like Roblox in terms of user base and content volume.
- ▪Meta introduced Horizon Create for mobile and Horizon Studio for browsers to facilitate AI-assisted game development.
- ▪Games created with these tools will be recommended and playable natively within Facebook and Instagram feeds.
- ▪Meta states that the tools can generate complete 2D or 3D mobile games with features like progression systems and multiplayer capabilities.
- ▪Horizon has significantly fewer users than Roblox, with Horizon reaching 300,000 monthly users compared to Roblox's 123 million daily active users.
