Vibe coding is all the rage these days, but Google seems to want to take it to a whole new level — and within the next two months.
Logan Kilpatrick, who leads product for Google AI Studio, has said that anyone will be able to vibe code video games by the end of the year. “Everyone is going to be able to vibe code video games by the end of 2025,” he posted on X. Google likely plans to launch a vibe coding feature within AI Studio in the coming weeks.
Kilpatrick suggested that the new feature would lead to an explosion of new developers by making it much easier to create computer 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,” he added.
He clarified that these games wouldn’t necessarily replace multi-million dollar titles. “(People) will create things for them and their friends to enjoy, some rare cases where someone makes something mainstream, but mostly smaller scale I would imagine,” Kilpatrick said. “(These would be) games that most reasonable people would be excited to play with their friends because they have full control over the story, characters, experience,” he added.
Kilpatrick hinted that the changes would be brought about by better models. “What’s the key blocker to doing that today? Wide-spread distribution?” a user asked him. “Models,” he replied.
Everyone being able to vibe code their own games by the end of 2025 is quite a claim, given how October is nearly over. Google thus far has been quite measured about its AI pronouncements, and hasn’t really sought to hype things up without reason. With Logan Kilpatrick, who has been the face of Google AI over the last couple of years on X, saying that there is a vibe coding revolution coming indicates that Google does seem to have something up its sleeve that could be a step change over current approaches. Google has already done this to image editing with its Nano Banana launch, and it appears that it’s ready to do an encore with vibe coding through an upcoming product.
