Why This Matters

Roblox is introducing a new game creation feature called Roblox Build to its mobile app, enabling users to create and enhance experiences directly on iPhone and iPad. Powered by AI, this tool will democratize game development, making it accessible to a broader audience and expanding creative possibilities on mobile devices. This development signals a significant shift towards more inclusive and flexible game creation within the Roblox ecosystem, impacting both developers and players.

Key Takeaways

Roblox says it will soon bring game creation to mobile for the first time. This will allow users to create new playable experiences directly inside the iPhone and iPad app.

Roblox Build is coming to mobile

The new Roblox Build feature will arrive later this month as part of the same mobile app where users play experiences.

The mobile-first Roblox Build creation tool will be powered by AI. This means users can turn text prompts into gameplay experiences.

Roblox also says it will introduce AI-powered features to enhance Roblox Studio, the desktop tool where all Roblox experiences are currently created today.

“Build extends Roblox Studio, which creators have been successfully using for years, into the Roblox app,” Roblox says.

“With a shared back end, models, and chat history, creators can start work in Build and enhance their creation with the broader capabilities of Studio, or launch agents from Studio and check in on progress from their mobile device.”

Roblox Build will expand experience creation from requiring a Mac or PC to support iPhone, iPad, and Android.

The company says the new Roblox Build will arrive on mobile starting July 28. Roblox is releasing the feature as an alpha test in New Zealand to start.
