Meta Pocket soft launches as AI-powered mini-game feed

Meta has quietly launched Pocket, an AI-powered app where users can generate and share short-form interactive apps and games using prompts. In other words, it is the sentence mobile developers both expected and feared: TikTok for games, but with AI holding the glitter cannon.

The idea could become a discovery platform, a toybox, a prototype machine or a chaotic river of barely functioning mini-games with amazing thumbnails. Maybe all four. The important part is that Meta is poking at a future where games become shorter, more social and easier to create. Whether that creates magic or a content landfill depends entirely on curation, quality and whether users actually want to play what they prompt.
