Roblox Turns Text Prompts Into Playable Games Inside Its App

Testing starts July 28 in New Zealand for creators as young as nine, with published games open globally to users 16 and up.

  • Build blends Roblox's own Cube 3D model with outside open-source AI systems.
  • New Zealand alpha opens July 28 to age-checked creators nine and older.
  • A free base tier ships alongside paid options aimed at power users.

Why it matters: A platform that will not name its models still decides what nine-year-olds may build with them.
