Meta Launches AI Tools to Let Users Build Games for Horizon on Their Phones
Meta unveiled two new development tools, Horizon Create and Horizon Studio, that let users build games for its Horizon social platform using AI prompts.
Meta has announced two new development tools aimed at getting more people to create games for its Horizon social platform, according to a report from The Verge.
The first tool, Horizon Create, is a mobile app that lets users build games using AI prompts directly from their phones. The second, Horizon Studio, is a browser-based application that offers more granular development controls for users who want finer control over their creations.
Lowering the Barrier to Game Creation
The two tools represent Meta's latest push to expand the library of user-generated content available on Horizon, its social and gaming platform. By allowing creators to generate games through AI prompts rather than traditional development processes, Meta aims to lower the technical barrier to entry for building on the platform.
The Verge's report did not specify a full release timeline or availability details for both apps beyond the announcement itself. It is also unclear from the available report which AI models power the prompt-based creation tools or what limitations apply to the games that can be built.
Part of a Broader AI Push
The announcement fits into a broader trend among technology companies of integrating generative AI tools into content creation platforms, aiming to let users with limited technical skills produce more sophisticated digital content, including games, without traditional coding.
