Meta Unveils Horizon Create and Studio to Let Users Build AI‑Powered Games on Their Phones

Meta is pushing the Horizon social platform into the realm of user‑generated gaming with two new tools.

Horizon Create is a lightweight mobile app that lets anyone type a prompt and watch an AI generate a playable game. The interface is designed for quick iteration, offering a handful of templates and a drag‑and‑drop editor.

For more seasoned creators, Horizon Studio arrives as a browser‑based environment that mirrors a traditional game‑engine workflow. It gives finer control over assets, scripting, and multiplayer logic, and can export directly to Horizon.

The move signals Meta’s intent to turn its social space into a creative playground, potentially sparking a new wave of indie titles. Whether the community will embrace these tools remains to be seen, but the lowered entry barrier could democratize game development on mobile.
