The gaming world is abuzz following CES 2025's unveiling of a groundbreaking new concept: the AI-powered Co-Playable Character (CPC). Krafton, the minds behind PUBG, announced this innovation on January 8th, bringing a revolutionary change to both PUBG and inZOI. Forget static NPCs; CPCs are infused with generative AI, creating dynamic, responsive companions.
inZOI's implementation promises particularly intriguing results. Their "Smart Zoi" CPCs will boast distinct personalities and emotional depth, creating incredibly lifelike interactions within the simulation.
In PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" CPC will adapt its strategies to complement your gameplay, enhancing player dynamics in exciting—or perhaps slightly unsettling—new ways.
Developed in partnership with NVIDIA ACE, these CPCs enable real-time conversations and scenarios that evolve based on the in-game situation. Kangwook Lee, Head of Krafton's Deep Learning Division, stated, *"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."*
