Abstract

The disclosed concepts relate to tracking and representing help sessions for video games where video game players are assisted by a helper, e.g., another video game player and/or a trained machine learning model. For instance, the disclosed implementations can graphically modify a controllable entity, such as a character or vehicle, to convey that the current video game player is being assisted by a helper. As another example, the disclosed implementations can graphically modify game achievements to indicate when a given achievement was earned with assistance from a helper.
