Meta announces AI tools for creating games on phones

Meta announced two tools for creating games with AI prompts: Horizon Create, a mobile app, and Horizon Studio, a browser tool with more granular controls. The products will enter early access, and interested users can join a waitlist. The company says both can create 2D and 3D mobile games with progression systems, balanced difficulty, art direction and multiplayer, while allowing creators to edit the generated elements.

Meta also plans to recommend games published with the tools on Facebook and Instagram, where they can be played without downloading another app or leaving the platform. The company says it will give more reach to games that are engaging, stable and culturally relevant. The announcement follows Horizon’s shift from its original focus as a virtual-reality app toward mobile, while Roblox is also expanding its AI-powered creation tools.
