Meta Launches AI Game-Creation App Pocket in US
Meta is extending generative AI beyond text and images into software creation with Pocket, an experimental consumer app built around “vibe-coding.” The product lets people create interactive games through natural-language prompts, lowering the technical barrier to building playable content. Its emphasis on social sharing and remixing also fits Meta’s broader strategy of using its platforms to distribute AI-generated experiences and encourage more users to become creators.
Meta has launched Pocket for users in the United States, allowing them to generate small interactive games with AI prompts and publish the results to a social feed. Other users can play, share and remix those creations, turning game development into a collaborative social activity. Meta has not disclosed a precise launch date, user targets or pricing details, and it has not announced when Pocket may become available outside the US.
