Meta Horizon Create is a new mobile app that allows users to build games using AI prompts directly on their phone, part of a fresh push to boost content on the company’s Horizon social platform.
Meta has announced two new development tools aimed at helping people make games with artificial intelligence. Alongside the mobile-focused Horizon Create, the company is introducing Horizon Studio, a browser-based app that offers more granular controls for those seeking finer adjustments over their projects.
Both apps are launching in early access. Interested users can sign up for a waitlist to gain access as the tools roll out.
A wider audience across Facebook and Instagram
Horizon has struggled as a platform, and Meta is attempting to give these new games significantly more reach. Published titles created with Horizon Create and Horizon Studio will be eligible for recommendation on Facebook and Instagram, where they will also be playable directly.
By surfacing games across its most popular social networks, Meta aims to connect creators with a far larger audience than Horizon has managed to attract on its own. The approach ties game discovery to the platforms where billions of people already spend their time.
AI-driven game creation
The central idea behind both tools is AI-assisted development. Rather than requiring traditional coding or design experience, users can generate games through AI prompts, lowering the barrier to entry for people who want to build interactive content.
Horizon Create serves as the accessible, mobile-first option, while Horizon Studio caters to users who want more detailed control over their creations through a browser interface. Together, the two apps form the foundation of Meta’s renewed effort to encourage game-making on Horizon.
The tools are available in early access, with a waitlist open for those who wish to try them.
