Roblox is making it easier to build games with AI — and play them outside Roblox

Roblox announced new generative AI tools that allow users to create games using natural language prompts and expand their reach beyond the platform. The company is also introducing new NPC capabilities and cross-platform support to make game development more accessible.
Why it matters
These updates signal a shift in the gaming industry toward democratizing game creation through AI and reducing platform dependency for developers.
At its annual Roblox Developer Conference (RDC), the company behind the popular gaming platform announced several new features, including new game-creation tools, expanded NPC (non-player character) capabilities, and the ability to make games available across platforms, including the web. The company is also launching a dedicated Roblox Card and Roblox Wallet for creators.
In addition, Roblox is rolling out its generative AI game creation more broadly. First announced in July, the feature called “Build ” lets Roblox users create games using natural language prompts. Initially, it was available only in New Zealand. Now the company is expanding it to Serbia and Singapore. Build is also gaining desktop access for big-screen creation, a new asset library, and iterative control. Later this year, it will also get a new prompt-based scene generation feature, which will also extend to Roblox Studio.
