Xiaomi launches MiMo-V2.6 Pro, generates 3D games in minutes

Xiaomi’s MiMo‑V2.6 Pro model can generate a fully playable 3D game, such as a Prince of Persia‑style platformer, in a matter of minutes, the company announced on Tuesday at its Android Developers Conference in Shanghai. The open‑source AI runs on the company’s latest Android‑based hardware and outputs both game code and assets, letting users create a basic level with a single prompt.

The breakthrough comes as AI‑generated content moves from text and images to interactive media. Earlier this year, OpenAI’s GPT‑4 and Anthropic’s Claude added limited code‑generation features, but they required extensive prompting and manual tweaking. Xiaomi’s model, trained on a mix of publicly available game engines, 3D asset libraries, and gameplay scripts, is designed to run on consumer‑grade devices, reflecting a broader push to democratise game development on Android. The MiMo series, first released in 2022, has been iteratively expanded, and the V2.6 Pro version doubles the parameter count of its predecessor, allowing it to understand spatial relationships and physics constraints better than earlier text‑only models.

Developers who tested the system reported that a simple request—“Create a side‑scrolling level with a knight, traps, and a boss fight”—produced a Unity project folder with meshes, textures, animation rigs, and C# scripts ready to compile. Xiaomi said the model achieved a 92 % success rate in generating functional code across 150 test scenarios, and the generated games run at 30 fps on its Mi 13 Ultra flagship. Industry analysts see the tool as a potential catalyst for indie creators, especially in markets where access to professional game engines is limited. Xiaomi also released the model’s weights on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, inviting community contributions and custom fine‑tuning.

The company plans to integrate MiMo‑V2.6 Pro into Android Studio later this year, offering a “Generate Game” wizard that will automate asset creation for developers of all skill levels. Xiaomi has opened a beta program for studios to test the model in commercial projects, and it expects the technology to reduce development costs and time‑to‑market for mobile games. If the tool lives up to its early promise, it could reshape how Android games are built, putting AI‑driven prototyping alongside traditional coding as a standard part of the development workflow.
