Machine learning is used to determine one or more video game players' ability to defeat a non-player video game opponent, such as a boss. The level of difficulty in beating the video game opponent may then be increased or decreased based on the players' ability to beat the video game opponent. In some examples, another player may then opt in to the increased or decreased level of difficulty, or may choose to play the video game without the increased or decreased level of difficulty.
