SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inworld AI, a developer platform for advanced NPC behavior and dialogue, today released the findings of its new report 'Gamer Attitudes to NPCs.' In the first study of its kind, the report surveyed over 1,000 gamers in the US aged 16-50 and found high levels of excitement about the potential of AI in video games.

  • Equally, 91% interacted with NPCs on some level and 78% said they would spend more time playing a game with 'intelligent' NPCs.
  • With advanced AI NPCs, there's an opportunity for games to give players more of the immersive and realistic interactions with NPCs that gamers want."
