CES 2025 Read and watch our complete CES coverage here Updated less than 33 seconds ago Nvidia and Krafton debuted “co-playable characters,” also called CPCs, at CES 2025.
Nvidia Ace is used to create these AI-driven companions that players can interact with in-game and who will learn from their actions.
We will first see these CPCs in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and inZOI. Battle royale PUBG is calling its system PUBG Ally, and it will allow solo players to drop into a match with an AI companion who they can ask for help.
The CPC will look for specific pickups or vehicles the player asks for and dynamically fight alongside them in a gunfight. It will even speak back to the player with an AI-generated voice.
Nvidia released a video showing off the PUBG Ally in action, which will give you a better idea of how this all works in-game.
