Roblox launches an AI-powered game-creation feature in its mobile app
Roblox has introduced the "Build" feature, allowing users to create games using AI with simple text prompts, which may lead to a surge in low-quality content. The feature uses AI models to generate games in various aspects, but Roblox is working to rank AI-generated games based on player retention to ensure quality. The Build feature is available in New Zealand for users aged nine and older, with both free and paid options, and Roblox is also developing AI agents for playtesting, analytics, and generating 3D assets.
