Google Labs launches Playground, an AI game-creation platform driven by text prompts

Google Labs launched Playground, an AI-powered game-creation platform that lets users build browser-based games from simple text prompts without coding. Creators pick a genre such as trivia or racing, choose 2D or 3D and single-player or multiplayer, describe mechanics and visual style, and can upload visuals that the AI turns into game assets; finished games run on mobile and desktop, can stay private, be shared by link, or be published to the Explore gallery with leaderboards. Playground is initially available to users 18 and older in the U.S., with browsing and playing free while game generation uses a weekly token system that gives Google One AI subscribers higher limits, and Google says it plans to add Unity Spark integration in a future update.
