The gaming platform announced Thursday that its "Build" feature, powered by AI, will allow users to generate basic, playable games from a single text prompt [199013][198564]. For example, a user could type "a cozy adventure game in a dense forest" and the AI will produce a working version of that game [199013]. The tool, which pushes the concept of "vibe coding" — describing software in plain language while AI writes the code — is being integrated directly into Roblox's mobile app, which millions of users already use to play games [199013].

Testing of Build begins in New Zealand on July 28, and will initially be available to users aged nine and older who pass age verification [199013]. Games created with Build will be visible to users aged 16 and older. A basic version of the tool is free, with paid options offering more advanced features [199013]. The move aims to make game creation more accessible to a wider audience, removing the need for expensive game releases or learning complex software [199013][198564].
