NVIDIA and PUBG team up for an AI teammate based on ACE technology

Nvidia has announced at CES that PUBG will year welcome an AI teammate this year called the PUBG Ally, based on its ACE technology. Described as the first co-playable character (CPC), the Ally will be able to communicate in natural language, provide strategic recommendations, share loot, drive vehicles and fight other players.

ACE enables AI characters to "perceive, plan and act like human players" thanks to small language models (SLMs) adapted to real-time decisions.

These also incorporate multi-modal capabilities to perceive the environment via audio and vision. A video shows Ally helping a player find loot, pilot a vehicle and maneuver against opponents. However, this demonstration was not live.

Other games will incorporate similar features soon enough. Naraka: Bladepoint will feature an AI teammate in March 2025, followed by the PC version later in the year. Krafton's next game, inZOI, will introduce CPCs called Smart Zoi, while Wemade Next's MIR5 will include AI-controlled bosses.
