CES 2025 has been a whirlwind of technological breakthroughs, particularly in the mobile gaming sector. A standout announcement from January 8th, brought to us by Krafton, the creators of PUBG, introduced the concept of "CPC" or "Co-Playable Character." This isn't just another NPC; it's an AI-infused character designed to interact and adapt to players in real-time, set to enhance gameplay in both PUBG and the upcoming sim, inZOI.

In inZOI, the "Smart Zoi" feature will bring a new level of emotional depth and unique personalities to the game, making interactions more immersive and lifelike. Meanwhile, PUBG players can look forward to the "PUBG Ally," an AI companion that dynamically adjusts strategies to complement player actions, adding a new layer to the game's dynamics.

This innovative approach has been crafted in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, enabling real-time conversations and adaptive scenarios based on current in-game situations. Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in gaming, stating, "Our collaboration with NVIDIA is a testament to the transformative potential of AI in gaming, and we plan to work closely together to push the boundaries of what is possible."
