Google introduces an experimental gaming platform: Playground

Recently, Google officially introduced Playground, an experimental gaming platform that lets you create, play and share custom games.

Playground

Create your own custom game

With Playground’s conversational interface, you can direct the game just by typing what you want to build. Start from a blank canvas, remix starter prompts, or use guided support to shape your concept- and then test it right away.

You can tweak the physics, rewrite rules, customise the characters, or overhaul the environment, while you remain in complete control of the creative direction from rough concept to final product.

Play, compete and share across devices

Playground is home to an ever-growing catalog of community games. And because it’s browser-based, you can play these games on your phone or laptop.

Once your game is ready, you can keep your game private, drop a shareable link to challenge friends and family, or publish it to the Playground Explore gallery for the broader Playground community.

Playground games support in-game leaderboards and multiplayer gameplay in select genres. With a Play Games profile, you can claim a custom handle, like your favourite games, battle for the top spot, and follow creators to catch their latest releases.

The gallery uses player ratings and play activity to spotlight games that are fresh, creative and fun. To keep the experience safe and welcoming, every published game undergoes safety screenings aligned with Google’s community guidelines, along with user reporting.

Unity Spark integration soon

Playground will soon offer an integration with Unity Spark. Unity Spark unlocks robust, professional-level mechanics, high-fidelity 3D capabilities, and the flexibility of the Unity runtime.

The accessibility of Playground and the world-class, game-building expertise of Unity provide the building blocks for an ecosystem where you can start with a simple text prompt and eventually grow into building immersive experiences with Unity. These games will be available for everyone using Playground to enjoy.

Unity Spark is currently in testing, with closed beta coming soon.

Availability

Playground is available for users in the US (18+) at playground.google with tiered creation access rolling out based on your Google AI subscription.
