For the first time, Roblox is bringing game creation into its mobile app. A new feature called Build, a dedicated creation tab inside the existing iPhone and iPad app, lets anyone type a text prompt and generate a basic playable game without writing a line of code, according to the Roblox newsroom today. The Roblox game creation feature on iPhone and iPad enters public alpha on July 28, initially limited to New Zealand.<\/p>\n

That shift matters because of who Roblox’s players are: young, already on mobile, already inside the app every day.

The company says they can. New Zealand is where that claim gets its first examination.<\/p>\n

Build lives as a new tab inside the Roblox mobile app, not a separate download. A user types a prompt, a game concept, a setting, a style, and the AI assembles a basic playable result. The system handles gameplay mechanics, environmental layout, characters, visual style, and sound, according to Roblox’s announcement. The company is explicit that the output is a “basic game,” not a polished product.<\/p>\n

The feature runs on a combination of Roblox’s proprietary AI models and open-source models. It shares a back end with Roblox Studio, including models and conversation history, so a creator can start on their phone and continue refining in the desktop environment, or monitor a Studio project from mobile, 9to5Mac noted today. “Build extends Roblox Studio, which creators have been successfully using for years,…<\/p>\n
