Meta Launches Pocket, an AI-Powered Vibe-Coding Gaming App for U.S. Users
Meta has launched its experimental gaming app, Pocket, to all users in the United States after a quiet rollout in Brazil last month. The app allows users to create interactive games using AI prompts and share them on their profiles where others can remix or repost them. Built by Meta following an acqui-hire of Gizmo’s team earlier this year, Pocket supports touch-based interactions, tilt controls, sound effects, and integration with personal media like photos and music clips. Pocket is part of a broader strategy at Meta to mainstream AI creation tools across its ecosystem, including apps for generating images and videos. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has highlighted how AI-enabled development accelerates the company’s ability to test new ideas quickly and scale them using recommendation systems. Alongside Pocket, Meta recently launched several other standalone apps like Forum and Seller. With this expansion, Meta is discontinuing the original Gizmo app acquired from Atma Sciences. The move reflects a shift toward consolidating features under more integrated platforms while continuing innovation in AI-driven content creation.
