[Dev News] Meta Horizon Create and Horizon Studio “Game Engines”

[xSicKxBot]

At Meta Connect 2026 Meta just announced the upcoming release of two “game engines”, Horizon Create and Horizon Studio. I do not use the word “AI-slop” very often, but I can’t fathom anything else coming from this. On the bright side… the “product” of these two “engines” will be confined to Facebook and Instagram feeds.

Here’s the basic pitch:

Traditional game development demands months of work, expensive hardware, and specialized skills. Even when a game ships, creators can struggle to find their first players. Horizon Create and Horizon Studio remove these barriers: they make it easier to turn your ideas into playable 2D and 3D games, and they enable you to distribute them automatically across several Meta platforms when you publish (more on that below).

You describe what you want with simple text prompts, typing out your idea the way you’d explain it to a friend. The engine translates your vision into a playable game that you can then refine, including environments, characters, mechanics, and multiplayer support. When your game is ready, publishing makes it eligible for distribution across Facebook, Instagram, and Horizon where billions of people already spend time.

So, yeah… AI-Slop game generation. Really, not sure there is much else to say here.
