Matchmaking in multiplayer games is complex due to its significant impact on the player experience. That’s why Activision’s Call of Duty weighs things like player ping, time to match, skills/performance, platform, whether voice chat is enabled or disabled, input device, recent maps/modes, and playlist diversity to create the optimal match.  However, these factors add to complexity and ultimately additional time to matchmaking in games, which can lead to player churn. This leaves game companies to decide between two churn-inducing options - longer lobby wait times or imbalanced matches. 

Here is a solution: Inworld AI generative AI players tailored to each player’s level makes  competition enjoyable for all. This would be a scalable solution that makes games more accessible and enjoyable for all players regardless of skill level and location – something that’s likely to boost player retention and extend playtime.

They can be deployed to take over when one of your team members has to leave mid-game or can’t join a gaming session. AI players could even mimic the gameplay of that particular player.
