Google and Unity announced a partnership for a new AI gaming platform. Playground is available today for generating games from text prompts. Unity Spark will launch later this year with professional-level features. It combines Google AI with Unity’s engine for high-fidelity 3D creation. Creators can publish to a global audience through Google’s ecosystem. Built-in community tools include leaderboards and multiplayer matchmaking. Playground creations can be shared and engaged with by others. Unity Spark will scale from simple prompts to advanced Unity projects.
