PUBG Introduces AI Teammates with Nvidia ACE Technology

The 'PUBG Ally' system will use generative AI to create co-playable characters capable of human-like behavior, though its release date remains unconfirmed.

PUBG's new 'PUBG Ally' feature, powered by Nvidia's ACE technology, will enable AI teammates to assist players by finding loot, providing strategic advice, and engaging in combat.
These AI companions, called Co-Playable Characters (CPCs), will use small language models to communicate in real-time and adapt to gameplay scenarios dynamically.
Krafton also plans to implement similar AI-driven systems in its upcoming life simulator inZOI and other titles like Naraka: Bladepoint and MIR5.
The generative AI technology promises more immersive and lifelike interactions, but its practical effectiveness in live gameplay remains to be seen.
No specific launch date for the PUBG Ally system has been announced, with current demonstrations limited to tech showcases at CES 2025.
