PUBG Ally is a “Co-Playable Character” (CPC) developed jointly by KRAFTON and NVIDIA, utilizing the upcoming NVIDIA ACE technology. The AI workflow runs efficiently on each player’s GeForce RTX GPU.
Designed for two-player gameplay, it understands both voice and text inputs, responding to human players’ commands as well as casual comments or expressions of surprise. It comprehends gamer-specific terminology, map features, item properties, and situational context, enabling coordination similar to that of a real human teammate.
