AI game partner: Peace Elite leads the new battlefield in the industry

Smart Things Author | Bi Weihao Editor | Mo Ying At present, AI is moving from capability demonstration to real application. Many AI achievements were unveiled at WAIC 2026 this year, but many cutting-edge technologies related to robots and large models are still some distance away from ordinary people's daily lives. Among the hard technologies on display at Tencent Group’s booth, Peace Elite is one of the few gaming products on display. As a shooting game with over 90 million daily active users during the Spring Festival, its appearance at WAIC is not based on "heat and flow", but as an important entrance for ordinary people to experience cutting-edge AI achievements.

Looking through the community discussions, some players said, "I don't dare to open the mic in my community, the AI ​​teammates are pretty good"; others said, "I want to try it late at night, but the friend list is all gray, and the AI ​​teammates are always available." These seemingly small game moments are exactly why AI teammates are needed. Peace Elite’s AI exploration also shows that the key to the implementation of AI in the game industry is not only technical capabilities, but also whether it can truly respond to player needs and translate it into every perceivable experience improvement. 1. The experience gap filled by AI teammates is the most real need of Peace Elite players. A large number of players choose AI teammates, which corresponds to a group that has always existed but has
