Meta Unveils AI Game Tools and New VR Glasses

At the recent Meta Connect conference, Meta unveiled two AI-powered game development tools, Horizon Create and Horizon Studio, which allow users to develop 2D and 3D games using text prompts on mobile devices and browsers. According to Meta, these tools aim to remove the barriers traditionally associated with game development, making it easier for users to turn their ideas into playable games and enabling automatic distribution across multiple Meta platforms upon publication. In addition, Meta announced a new pair of VR glasses that weigh approximately 100 grams and are priced at $1,300, featuring support for Unity 6.6. The design of the glasses is lightweight, making them comfortable for extended wear without the need for additional controllers. The Meta VR glasses are set to launch in Spring 2027 and are expected to support several popular game franchises, including "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" and "Beat Saber." From an industry perspective, these new offerings from Meta could further democratize game development and enhance user immersion in gaming experiences.
