Snapdragon® Game AI SDK is an SDK for Unreal Engine™ that facilitates building real-time, on-device AI gaming experiences for Android and Windows devices that contain Snapdragon platforms. AI inference is executed locally on the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU in the Snapdragon platform to provide low-latency and predictable performance during real-time gameplay.

Developers can run AI workloads directly on the device with building blocks like large language models (LLMs), automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, retrieval-augmented ge...

On-device AI for real-time gameplay

Add AI that is accelerated by the NPU, to reduce or eliminate dependencies on cloud-based inference for lower latency, reduced costs, and optimized FPS performance during real-time gameplay.

Native Unreal Engine integration

The SDK integrates with Unreal Engine as a turnkey plugin, providing familiar Blueprints and C++ workflows that game developers are accustomed to with a cross-platform abstraction that lets them target Windows and Android from the same project.

Optimized for Snapdragon platforms

Take full advantage of Snapdragon's heterogeneous architecture. Offload AI workloads to the NPU, freeing up the CPU for game logic and the GPU for rendering, both on Android and Windows on Snapdragon.

Power efficiency

Improve your game's performance per watt. You can now offer immersive gameplay experiences that incorporate AI, predictable gameplay performance, and longer run times to keep your mobile gamers entertained longer between battery charges.

Realistic non-playable characters

Build non-playable characters (NPCs) that can interact more realistically than ever before. With the SDK’s support for automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech, along with LLMs, RAG, and memory, NPCs can provide more in-depth conversations that evolve as they get to know the player.

Emerging Game AI Experiences

Experiment in the emerging and growing use of AI in games, like interactive, context-aware AI teammates, AI companions that extend player engagement, both in and out-of-game, and AI coaches that provide guidance and help with skill development.
