KRAFTON's PUBG Ally: An AI Teammate Powered by NVIDIA ACE for Real-Time Cooperative Play

Summary
KRAFTON has developed PUBG Ally, a co-playable character (CPC) for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS powered by NVIDIA ACE technology. Unlike traditional NPCs with fixed dialogue, PUBG Ally uses automatic speech recognition, a 2B-parameter small language model, and text-to-speech to understand player voice commands, reason through game context and dynamic events, and respond in real time. KRAFTON positions this as a new category of in-game character — a co-playable character designed to cooperate and adapt alongside human players.

KRAFTON is calling the result a co-playable character (CPC): a new category distinct from non-playable characters (NPCs), designed to cooperate, adapt.
AI companions in games have long been constrained by fixed dialogue. PUBG Ally is a different kind of system.
