Google launched Playground, an experimental gaming platform. Users can create custom games with text prompts. No coding is required. Games can be played on phone or laptop. Users can share games privately or publish to a community gallery. Published games undergo safety screenings. Multiplayer and leaderboards are supported in select genres. Unity Spark integration will add professional tools later. Playground is live in the U.S. for users 18 and older. Access is tiered by Google AI subscription.
