PUBG and inZoi are getting AI companions described as Co-Playable Characters (CPCs).Krafton, the South Korean company behind both games, announced it was working with Nvidia to bring these AI teammates into each title.A CPC is an AI companion that can interact with gamers, enabled by an on-device SLM (Small Language Model) built with Nvidia’s Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) technology, Krafton said.“Unlike traditional NPCs (non-player characters), CPCs are equipped with the ability to interact and cooperate with users, as they understand and respond to game situations in a human-like manner,” the company continued.Krafton said they can be instructed to coordinate and cooperate with players by using the language model built with ACE.

Specifically in PUBG, CPCs will introduce a new SLM-powered companion called “Ally” that can communicate verbally and team up with the player. “Players can converse and strategize with their AI-powered CPC companion just like they would a human teammate, greatly enhancing gameplay,” Krafton said.In a video showing off the tech, the PUBG player uses voice comms to ask their Ally to keep an eye out for a vest and ammo.

The Ally finds both and lets their human teammate know via voiced dialogue and a ping. The Ally also tells their human teammate that they’ve spotted an enemy and are providing covering fire.

Later, the player asks if there’s a vehicle nearby, and the Ally announces they’ve found one and will “come to you.” The player asks their Ally to flank in a firefight and they oblige, again using voice comms to communicate.

The Ally will even engage in a spot of banter upon victory.Transform solo gameplay into a seamless team experience with PUBG Ally.KRAFTON & NVIDIA have teamed up to create the world’s first Co-Playable Character (CPC), built with NVIDIA ACE → https://t.co/JLcLQ8crrD pic.twitter.com/7VLtUfp6WAThe idea, clearly, is to replicate a human teammate as realistically as possible with AI speech, fuelled by the SLM.
