Google Labs unveiled Playground, a tool that lets users build browser-based games using text prompts instead of code. Users can pick a genre, choose 2D or 3D and single- or multiplayer modes, upload images for AI-generated assets, and publish finished games privately, via link, or to a public gallery with leaderboards. The platform is live for users 18+ in the U.S., with free token-limited access and higher limits for Google One AI subscribers.
