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. Specifically, there was an overwhelming consensus that recent advancements in AI could change the face of gaming and usher in a new era of immersion and interaction with NPCs (non-playable characters) with individual personalities and the ability to converse unscripted voice-to-voice with the help of ChatGPT-like language models and multimodal behavior and perception systems.

Key Points:

Meaningful interactions with NPCs were heavily sought after, with only 9% of players dismissing or avoiding NPCs during gameplay altogether.
A large minority (40%) even admitted to talking to as many NPCs as possible to unlock more story content.
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."
