Meta's Pocket App: What Its Quiet Launch of AI-Generated Games Says About the Company's Future

Meta Platforms Inc. has quietly launched a new mobile application called Pocket, which allows users to create and share AI-generated mini-games and interactive experiences. The app, currently in limited testing, represents Meta's latest push into generative artificial intelligence and social content, built on the acquisition of the 'vibe-coded gaming platform' Gizmo earlier in 2026. This move signals a strategic shift towards user-generated AI content as a core engagement mechanism, moving beyond traditional gaming and social media feeds.
