Meta announced Horizon Create and Horizon Studio at Meta Connect. These two tools turn simple text prompts into complete 2D or 3D mobile games. Both are launching in early access, and a waitlist is open now.

How Horizon Create Works on Your Phone

Horizon Create is a standalone phone app. You describe the game the way you’d explain it to a friend, or you start from a ready-made template. The AI then builds a playable game that includes progression systems, balanced difficulty, art direction, and multiplayer modes.

You can refine characters, story, and art style with extra prompts. After you kick off a build, you don’t have to sit and wait. Keep doing other things and get a notification once the game is ready to playtest. You can also run several projects at the same time.

Horizon Studio Brings Finer Controls to the Browser

Horizon Studio moves the same idea into your browser and adds more precise tools. It needs no installation and no gaming PC. You can arrange scenes, swap assets, and adjust scripts yourself.

The two tools share a backend. Projects move between your phone and browser without starting over. That covers assets, systems, and the full iteration history.

Where AI-Made Games Appear

Published games can show up directly inside Facebook, Instagram, and Horizon feeds. A person scrolling Instagram can tap a clip and join a multiplayer session in seconds. No download required. Games that stay fun and keep players coming back earn more reach and visibility.

Every game goes through safety checks and receives an automated age rating before it goes live.

Meta’s Broader Push into Prompt-Based Games

Horizon began as a VR app and is now shifting toward mobile. Meta has already tested prompt-based creation with an AI-powered app called Pocket. That tool lets people generate, play, and share mini-games using natural language.

Other platforms such as Unity and Roblox also offer ways to generate games through prompts. Whether AI-built games can match handcrafted ones remains an open question. Meta is betting people will want to try the new tools.
