# Project Genie can now ground generated worlds in real US locations

By Steven Van · 2026-05-20

Google AI Ultra subscribers can style a Street View spot, save worlds to a library, and share previews externally.

Google DeepMind has added a set of updates to [Project Genie](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/google-project-genie>), including the ability to start a generated world from a real place. Tapping the Maps pin lets users pick a US location and apply a style, such as "Desert Sands" or "Ocean World," with Genie grounding the world in real-world imagery from that spot.

- Street View Grounding: generate worlds starting from real US locations, styled and tied to real-world imagery.

- Library: store, organize, and revisit past generated worlds, or remix favourites.

- External sharing: anyone can watch a video preview of a shared world; Ultra subscribers can explore or remix it.

The [updates](<https://x.com/i/status/2056872996988756228>) are rolling out gradually to all eligible Google AI Ultra subscribers globally, for users 18 and over.
