Google AI Studio product lead teased that everyone will be able to vibe code video games by the end of the year.

Vibe coding is one of the selling points of generative AI, but it's also overhyped.

While it’s actually possible to vibe code decent web apps and apps using an AI IDE like Cursor, those apps aren’t really ready for production because you can’t build infrastructure through vibe coding.

You can’t expect Claude Code or GPT’s Codex to vibe code a frontend and automatically set up a database for you on your server, integrate APIs, and connect all services without your interaction.

But Google AI Studio’s recent update promises a full-fledged vibe coding experience.

“AI Studio understands the capabilities you need and automatically wires up the right models and APIs for you,” Google explained in a blog post.

New AI Studio not only lets you vibe code an app, but also connects it to an API. For example, if you want to build an app that can generate images using prompts, AI Studio will do that automatically by connecting your app to Google's Nano Banana API.

“We’ve made the process of creating a powerful, feature-rich, AI-powered app effortless," Google added.

Google hints at a future where everyone can vibe code their own video games

It doesn’t appear that Google is going to stop at just vibe-coded web apps or mobile apps.

In a post on X, Logan Kilpatrick, who is a product lead at Google AI Studio, confirmed that everyone will be able to vibe code their games by the end of the year.

Logan won’t tell us how good those vibe-coded games will be.

But of course, you can’t expect to vibe code a full-fledged game like Civilization, but if you have an idea and friends to play with, you’ll be able to vibe code basic games.

“This is going to successfully usher in the next 100M ‘developers’ with ease. So many people get excited by creating games only to be hit with C/C#/C++ and realize it’s not fun,” Logan added.

When some users questioned that it's difficult to build games that people want to play, Logon argued that 'vibe-coded' games will create things for friends to enjoy.

"Some rare cases where someone makes something mainstream, but mostly smaller scale, I would imagine," he added.

In another reply to a user, Logan explained that he's specifically talking about "games that most reasonable people would be excited to play with their friends because they have full control over the story, characters, experience."

At this point, you can't vibe code even a decent-looking game.

The best you can make is a clone of Wordle, but I wouldn't call that a full-fledged "video game."

Only time will tell how easy it will be to vibe code games by the end of the year.

Google is also rumored to be working on Gemini 3.0, and it might turn things around.
