Xbox has announced that it has entered into a multi-year partnership with Inworld AI, a company that offers technology for bringing games to life with AI NPCs, to build AI game dialogue and narrative tools at scale. The new collaboration, which was teased by both Inworld and Xbox’s Gaming AI department today, is set to deliver a multi-platform AI toolset that will assist and empower creators in various aspects of game design, including what appears to be a tool that can automatically generate dialog, quests, and more simply by using text prompts. Xbox believes that such tools will enable “even more extraordinary games.”
Xbox x Inworld Generative AI Toolset
- An AI design copilot that assists and empowers game designers to explore more creative ideas, turning prompts into detailed scripts, dialogue trees, quests and more.
- An AI character runtime engine that can be integrated into the game client, enabling entirely new narratives with dynamically-generated stories, quests, and dialogue for players to experience.
This partnership will bring together: Inworld’s expertise in working with generative AI models for character development, Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud-based AI solutions including Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft Research’s technical insights into the future of play, and Team Xbox’s strengths in revolutionizing accessible and responsible creator tools for all developers.
As with all creators tools we make at Xbox, our goal is to deliver state-of-the-art AI tools for game developers of any size, anywhere in the world and on every platform where players want to play. We want to help make it easier for developers to realize their visions, try new things, push the boundaries of gaming today and experiment to improve gameplay, player connection and more. We will collaborate and innovate with game creators inside Xbox studios as well as third-party studios as we develop the tools that meet their needs and inspire new possibilities for future games.
With more extraordinary tools comes more extraordinary games. We're excited to see what people build with new AI-enabled game dev tools as we embark upon a partnership with @inworld_ai to make it easier for devs to realize their creative vision https://t.co/13rIn0Hbxk pic.twitter.com/XhRltaDPtS
