WorldCast: Distributed Multiplayer World Models

We present WorldCast, a distributed multiplayer world model in which each player runs a local client comprising a video generator and a state model.

Key points

  • Multiplayer world models must generate independently controlled views with consistent representations of both players and their shared environment.
  • Shared scene state enables clients to reuse one another's generated observations to maintain consistent scene appearance across views.
  • Experiments on Counter-Strike 2 demonstrate WorldCast's consistency, real-time performance, and distributed scalability.
  • The camera-aligned player state field improves player rendering rates by over an order of magnitude over joint-generation methods, while shared scene state improves visual consistency over whole rounds.
