Meta announced two new AI-powered game development tools for its Horizon social platform: Horizon Create for mobile and Horizon Studio for browsers. Both apps are entering early access with waitlist signups available now.
The tools aim to lower barriers to game creation by letting users build games through AI prompts rather than traditional coding. Horizon Create offers a streamlined mobile experience, while Horizon Studio provides more detailed controls for developers seeking precision.
Meta has positioned the move as part of a broader effort to boost content on Horizon, which has seen limited adoption since its launch. By simplifying game development, the company hopes to increase the volume of games available on the platform and expand its user base.
The early access phase will allow Meta to gather feedback before a wider rollout. Users interested in testing the tools can join the waitlist through Meta's official channels.
This follows Meta's continued investment in AI-assisted creation tools across its platforms, reflecting industry momentum toward democratizing content development.
Miriam Vogel, president and CEO of EqualAI, told lawmakers that AI policy development presents a rare opportunity for bipartisan cooperation, citing minimal partisan division during her testimony on AI's societal impact.
Nearly 75% of business directors say they don't have sufficient knowledge to understand AI-related issues. The gap highlights growing concerns about safety and governance as AI adoption accelerates.
