Roblox said it has bought Morpheus AI and will fold its technology into Roblox Reality, a new architecture aimed at creating AI-generated interactive worlds.
Morpheus was founded in August 2025 by Roblox technical director Xun Huang, who described its goal as simulating interactive worlds in real time.
An image on Roblox’s website shows the system taking a base game render and upscaling it with 3D data as a character moves through a fantasy environment.
Roblox plans to ship an early version of the software later this year, signaling a broader push to use AI to change how users play and build on the platform.
