+# How Frames Work in Hunyuan-GameCraft
+
+## Overview
+
+The Hunyuan-GameCraft system generates high-dynamic interactive game videos using diffusion models and a hybrid history-conditioned training strategy. The frame handling is complex due to several factors:
+
+1. **Causal VAE compression** (spatial and temporal with different ratios)
+2. **Hybrid history conditioning** (using past frames/clips as context for autoregressive generation)
+3. **Different generation modes** (image-to-video vs. video-to-video continuation)
+4. **Rotary position embeddings (RoPE)** requirements for the MM-DiT backbone
+
+## Paper Context
+
+According to the paper, Hunyuan-GameCraft:
+- Operates at **25 FPS** with each video chunk comprising **33-frame clips** at 720p resolution
+- Uses a **causal VAE** for encoding/decoding that has uneven encoding of initial vs. subsequent frames
+- Implements **chunk-wise autoregressive extension** where each chunk corresponds to one action
+- Employs **hybrid history conditioning** with ratios: 70% single historical clip, 5% multiple clips, 25% single frame
+
+## Key Frame Numbers Explained
+
+### The Magic Numbers: 33, 34, 37, 66, 69
+
+These numbers are fundamental to the architecture and not arbitrary:
+
+- **33 frames**: The base video chunk size - each action generates exactly 33 frames (1.32 seconds at 25 FPS)
+- **34 frames**: Used for image-to-video generation in latent space (33 + 1 initial frame)
+- **37 frames**: Used for rotary position embeddings when starting from an image
+- **66 frames**: Used for video-to-video continuation in latent space (2 × 33 frame chunks)
+- **69 frames**: Used for rotary position embeddings when continuing from video
+
+### Why These Specific Numbers?
+
+The paper mentions "chunk latent denoising" where each chunk is a 33-frame segment. The specific numbers arise from:
+
+1. **Base Chunk Size**: 33 frames per action (fixed by training)
+2. **Initial Frame Handling**: +1 frame for the reference image in image-to-video mode
+3. **RoPE Alignment**: +3 frames for proper positional encoding alignment in the transformer
+4. **History Conditioning**: Doubling for video continuation (using previous chunk as context)
+
+## VAE Compression Explained
+
+### VAE Types and the "4n+1" / "8n+1" Formula
+
+The project uses different VAE (Variational Autoencoder) models identified by codes like "884" or "888":
+
+#### VAE Naming Convention: "XYZ-16c-hy0801"
+- **First digit (X)**: Temporal compression ratio
+- **Second digit (Y)**: Spatial compression ratio (height)
+- **Third digit (Z)**: Spatial compression ratio (width)
+- **16c**: 16 latent channels
+- **hy0801**: Version identifier
+
+#### "884" VAE (Default in Code)
+- **Temporal compression**: 4:1 (every 4 frames → 1 latent frame)
+- **Spatial compression**: 8:1 for both height and width
+- **Frame formula**: 
+  - Standard: `latent_frames = (video_frames - 1) // 4 + 1`
+  - Special handling: `latent_frames = (video_frames - 2) // 4 + 2` (for certain cases)
+- **Why "4n+1"?**: The causal VAE requires frames in multiples of 4 plus 1 for proper temporal compression
+  - Example: 33 frames → (33-1)/4 + 1 = 9 latent frames
+  - Example: 34 frames → (34-2)/4 + 2 = 9 latent frames (special case in pipeline)
+  - Example: 66 frames → (66-2)/4 + 2 = 17 latent frames
+
+#### "888" VAE (Alternative)
+- **Temporal compression**: 8:1 (every 8 frames → 1 latent frame)
+- **Spatial compression**: 8:1 for both height and width
+- **Frame formula**: `latent_frames = (video_frames - 1) // 8 + 1`
+- **Why "8n+1"?**: Similar principle but with 8:1 temporal compression
+  - Example: 33 frames → (33-1)/8 + 1 = 5 latent frames
+  - Example: 65 frames → (65-1)/8 + 1 = 9 latent frames
+
+#### No Compression VAE
+- When VAE code doesn't match the pattern, no temporal compression is applied
+- `latent_frames = video_frames`
+
+### Why Different Formulas?
+
+The formulas handle the causal nature of the VAE as mentioned in the paper:
+
+1. **Causal VAE Characteristics**: The paper states that causal VAEs have "uneven encoding of initial versus subsequent frames"
+2. **First Frame Special Treatment**: The initial frame requires different handling than subsequent frames
+3. **Temporal Consistency**: The causal attention ensures each frame only attends to previous frames, maintaining temporal coherence
+4. **Chunk Boundaries**: The formulas ensure proper alignment with the 33-frame chunk size used in training
+
+## Frame Processing Pipeline
+
+### 1. Image-to-Video Generation (First Segment)
+
+```python
+# Starting from a single image
+if is_image:
+    target_length = 34  # In latent space
+    # For RoPE embeddings
+    freqs_cos, freqs_sin = get_rotary_pos_embed(37, height, width)
+```
+
+**Why 34 and 37?**
+- 34 frames in latent space = 33 generated frames + 1 initial frame
+- 37 for RoPE = 34 + 3 extra for positional encoding alignment
+
+### 2. Video-to-Video Continuation
+
+```python
+# Continuing from existing video
+else:
+    target_length = 66  # In latent space
+    # For RoPE embeddings
+    freqs_cos, freqs_sin = get_rotary_pos_embed(69, height, width)
+```
+
+**Why 66 and 69?**
+- 66 frames = 2 × 33 frames (using previous segment as context)
+- 69 for RoPE = 66 + 3 extra for positional encoding alignment
+
+### 3. Camera Network Compression
+
+The CameraNet has special handling for these frame counts:
+
+```python
+def compress_time(self, x, num_frames):
+    if x.shape[-1] == 66 or x.shape[-1] == 34:
+        # Split into two segments
+        x_len = x.shape[-1]
+        # First segment: keep first frame, pool the rest
+        x_clip1 = x[...,:x_len//2]
+        # Second segment: keep first frame, pool the rest
+        x_clip2 = x[...,x_len//2:x_len]
+```
+
+This compression strategy:
+1. **Preserves key frames**: First frame of each segment
+2. **Pools temporal information**: Averages remaining frames
+3. **Maintains continuity**: Ensures smooth transitions
+
+## Why Can't We Easily Change to 18 Frames?
+
+Changing from 33 to 18 frames per chunk is problematic for multiple reasons:
+
+### 1. Training-Time Fixed Parameters
+According to the paper:
+- The model was trained with **33-frame chunks at 25 FPS**
+- The hybrid history conditioning ratios were optimized for 33-frame segments
+- The entire dataset was annotated and partitioned into 6-second clips containing multiple 33-frame chunks
+
+### 2. VAE Constraints
+- **884 VAE**: Requires (n-1) or (n-2) divisible by 4
+  - 18 frames: (18-1)/4 = 4.25 ❌ (not integer)
+  - Would need 17 or 21 frames for proper compression
+- **888 VAE**: Requires (n-1) divisible by 8
+  - 18 frames: (18-1)/8 = 2.125 ❌ (not integer)
+  - Would need 17 or 25 frames instead
+
+### 3. Hardcoded Dependencies
+Multiple components assume 33-frame chunks:
+- **sample_inference.py**: Lines 525, 527, 613, 615 hardcode 34/37/66/69
+- **cameranet.py**: Line 150 specifically checks for 34 or 66 frames
+- **ActionToPoseFromID**: Hardcoded duration=33 for camera trajectory generation
+- **app.py**: sample_n_frames=33 is fixed
+
+### 4. Model Architecture Assumptions
+- **MM-DiT backbone**: Trained with specific sequence lengths
+- **Rotary Position Embeddings**: Optimized for 37/69 frame sequences
+- **Camera encoder**: Designed for 33-frame action sequences
+- **Attention patterns**: Expect these specific sequence lengths
+
+## Recommendations for Frame Count Modification
+
+If you must change frame counts, consider:
+
+1. **Use VAE-compatible numbers**:
+   - For 884 VAE: 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37... (4n+1 pattern)
+   - For 888 VAE: 17, 25, 33, 41... (8n+1 pattern)
+
+2. **Modify all dependent locations**:
+   - `sample_inference.py`: Update target_length logic
+   - `cameranet.py`: Update compress_time conditions
+   - `ActionToPoseFromID`: Change duration parameter
+   - App configuration: Update sample_n_frames
+
+3. **Consider retraining or fine-tuning**:
+   - The model may need adaptation for different sequence lengths
+   - Quality might be suboptimal without retraining
+
+4. **Test thoroughly**:
+   - Different frame counts may expose edge cases
+   - Ensure VAE encoding/decoding works correctly
+   - Verify temporal consistency in generated videos
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Latent Space Calculation Examples
+
+For **884 VAE** (4:1 temporal compression):
+```
+Input: 33 frames → (33-1)/4 + 1 = 9 latent frames
+Input: 34 frames → (34-2)/4 + 2 = 9 latent frames (special case)
+Input: 66 frames → (66-2)/4 + 2 = 17 latent frames
+```
+
+For **888 VAE** (8:1 temporal compression):
+```
+Input: 33 frames → (33-1)/8 + 1 = 5 latent frames
+Input: 65 frames → (65-1)/8 + 1 = 9 latent frames
+```
+
+### Memory Implications
+
+Fewer frames = less memory usage:
+- 33 frames at 704×1216: ~85MB per frame in FP16
+- 18 frames would use ~46% less memory
+- But VAE constraints limit viable options
+
+## Paper-Code Consistency Analysis
+
+The documentation is consistent with both the paper and the codebase:
+
+### From the Paper:
+- "The system operates at 25 fps, with each video chunk comprising 33-frame clips at 720p resolution"
+- Uses "chunk latent denoising process" for autoregressive generation
+- Implements "hybrid history-conditioned training strategy"
+- Mentions causal VAE's "uneven encoding of initial versus subsequent frames"
+
+### From the Code:
+- `sample_n_frames = 33` throughout the codebase
+- VAE compression formulas match the 884/888 patterns
+- Hardcoded frame values (34, 37, 66, 69) align with the chunk-based architecture
+- CameraNet's special handling for 34/66 frames confirms the two-mode generation
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The frame counts in Hunyuan-GameCraft are fundamental to its architecture:
+
+1. **33 frames** is the atomic unit, trained into the model and fixed by the dataset construction
+2. **34/37 and 66/69** emerge from the interaction between:
+   - The 33-frame chunk size
+   - Causal VAE requirements
+   - MM-DiT transformer's RoPE needs
+   - Hybrid history conditioning strategy
+
+3. The **884 VAE** (4:1 temporal compression) is the default, requiring frames in patterns of 4n+1 or 4n+2
+
+4. Changing to different frame counts (like 18) would require:
+   - Retraining the entire model
+   - Reconstructing the dataset
+   - Modifying the VAE architecture
+   - Updating all hardcoded dependencies
+
+The system's design reflects careful engineering trade-offs between generation quality, temporal consistency, and computational efficiency, as validated by the paper's experimental results showing superior performance compared to alternatives.

+###### Abstract
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+Recent advances in diffusion-based and controllable video generation have enabled high-quality and temporally coherent video synthesis, laying the groundwork for immersive interactive gaming experiences. However, current methods face limitations in dynamics, generality, long-term consistency, and efficiency, which limit the ability to create various gameplay videos. To address these gaps, we introduce Hunyuan-GameCraft, a novel framework for high-dynamic interactive video generation in game environments. To achieve fine-grained action control, we unify standard keyboard and mouse inputs into a shared camera representation space, facilitating smooth interpolation between various camera and movement operations. Then we propose a hybrid history-conditioned training strategy that extends video sequences autoregressively while preserving game scene information. Additionally, to enhance inference efficiency and playability, we achieve model distillation to reduce computational overhead while maintaining consistency across long temporal sequences, making it suitable for real-time deployment in complex interactive environments. The model is trained on a large-scale dataset comprising over one million gameplay recordings across over 100 AAA games, ensuring broad coverage and diversity, then fine-tuned on a carefully annotated synthetic dataset to enhance precision and control. The curated game scene data significantly improves the visual fidelity, realism and action controllability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Hunyuan-GameCraft significantly outperforms existing models, advancing the realism and playability of interactive game video generation.

Hunyuan-GameCraft serves as a model capable of generating infinitely long game videos conditioned on continuous action signals, while maintaining strong generalization, high temporal dynamics, and effective preservation of historical scene information.

+
+Recent advances in visual generation have explored spatial intelligence, the analysis and creation of coherent spatial scenes. These models focus on interactivity and exploration, enabling dynamic 3D/4D environments with spatiotemporal coherence. For example, WorldLabs \[[32](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib32)\] demonstrates the potential for reconstructing high-fidelity 3D environments from static imagery, while Genie 2 \[[22](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib22)\] introduces latent action modeling to enable physics-consistent interactions over time. Despite these advances, current approaches still struggle with significant limitations in critical areas such as real-time dynamic scene element fidelity, long-sequence consistency, and computational efficiency, limiting their applicability in high-dynamic, playable interactive scenarios. Notably, in game interaction modeling, real-time interactive generation and high dynamicity constitute fundamental components of player experience.
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+To address these challenges, we introduce Hunyuan-GameCraft, a novel framework designed for high-dynamic, action-controllable video synthesis in game environments. Built upon a text-to-video foundation model, HunyuanVideo \[[18](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib18)\], our method enables the generation of temporally coherent and visually rich gameplay footage conditioned on discrete user actions. We unify a broad set of standard keyboard and mouse inputs (e.g., W, A, S, D, arrow keys, Space) into a shared camera representation space, which unified embedding supports smooth interpolation between various camera and movement operations, ensuring physical plausibility while enabling cinematic flexibility in user-driven interactions, for example, speeding up.

+
+To maintain long-term consistency in interactive game video generation, prior works \[[6](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib6), [15](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib15), [20](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib20)\] have primarily focused on training-free extensions, streaming denoising or last-frame conditioning. However, these approaches often suffer from quality degradation and temporal inconsistency with causal VAEs \[[33](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib33)\]. We propose a novel hybrid history-conditioned training strategy that autoregressively extends sequences while preserving scene information, using historical context integration and a mask indicator to address error accumulation in autoregressive generation. Moreover, to improve inference efficiency and playability, we implement the model distillation acceleration strategy \[[28](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib28)\], which reduces computational overhead while maintaining consistency across long temporal sequences, making our framework suitable for real-time deployment in complex interactive environments.

+
+Motionctrl \[[31](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib31)\] uses a unified and flexible motion controller designed for video generation, which independently controls the movement of video cameras and objects to achieve precise control over the motion perspectives in generated videos. CameraCtrl \[[13](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib13)\] employs Plücker embedding as the primary representation for camera parameters, training only the camera encoder and linear layers to achieve camera control. Furthermore, the recent approach CameraCtrl II \[[14](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib14)\] constructs a high-dynamics dataset with camera parameter annotations for training, and designs a lightweight camera injection module and training scheme to preserve the dynamics of pretrained models.

+### 2.3 Long Video Extension
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+Generating long videos poses challenges in maintaining temporal consistency and high visual quality over extended durations. Early methods used GAN to explore long video generation \[[23](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib23)\]. With the popularity of diffusion, some methods began to try to solve the problem using diffusion model. StreamingT2V \[[15](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib15)\] introduces short-term and long-term memory blocks with randomized blending to ensure consistency and scalability in text-to-video generation. In addition, some methods also explore different paradigms, such as next frame prediction \[[11](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib11), [12](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib12)\], combining next-token and full-sequence diffusion (DiffusionForcing) \[[6](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib6)\] and test-time training  \[[7](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib7)\]. Compared with previous methods, we propose a novel hybrid history-conditioned training strategy that extends video sequences in an autoregressive way while effectively preserving game scene information, under a diffusion paradigm.

Then we design a light-weight action encoder to encode the input camera trajectory. The action and image features are added after patchify. For long video extension, we design a variable mask indicator, where 1 and 0 indicate history frames and predicted frames, respectively.

+Scene and Action-aware Data Partition. We introduce a two-tier video partitioning approach (scene-level and action-level). Using PySceneDetect \[[4](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib4)\], we segment 2-3 hour gameplay recordings into 6-second coherent clips (1M+ clips at 1080p).

Combined with late-stage fine-tuning using uniformly distributed rendered data, these techniques enhanced control signal generalization, training stability, and cross-directional performance consistency.

+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+In this paper, we propose Hunyuan-GameCraft, a high-dynamic interactive game video generation model based on a previously open-sourced MM-DiT \[[9](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib9)\] based text-to-video model, HunyuanVideo \[[18](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib18)\]. The overall framework is shown in Fig [4](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S3.F4 "Figure 4 ‣ 3.1 Game Scene Data Curation ‣ 3 Dataset Construction ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"). To achieve fine-grained controllable game video synthesis with temporal coherence, we first unify diverse common keyboard/mouse options in games (W, A, S, D, ↑, ←, ↓, →, Space, etc.) into a shared camera representation space (Sec. [4.1](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.SS1 "4.1 Continuous Action Space and Injection ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")) and design a light-weight action encoder to encode the camera trajectory(Sec. [4.1](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.SS1 "4.1 Continuous Action Space and Injection ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")). Then, we propose a hybrid history-conditioned video extension approach that autoregressively denoise new noisy latent conditioned on historical denoised chunks (Sec. [4.2](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.SS2 "4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")). Finally, to accelerate the inference speed and improve the interaction experience, we implement the model distillation, based on Phased Consistency Model \[[28](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib28)\]. This distillation achieves a 10–20× acceleration in inference speed, reducing latency to less than 5s per action (Sec. [4.3](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.SS3 "4.3 Accelerated Generative Interaction ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")).

+
+Building upon prior knowledge of gaming scenarios and general camera control conventions, we eliminate the degree of freedom in the roll dimension while incorporating velocity control. This design enables fine-grained trajectory manipulation that aligns with user input habits. Furthermore, this representation can be seamlessly converted into standard camera trajectory parameters and Plücker embeddings. Similar with previous camera-controlled video generation arts, we design a light-weight camera information encoding network that aligns Plücker embeddings with video latents. Unlike previous approaches that employ cascaded residual blocks or transformer blocks to construct Plücker embedding encoders, our encoding network consists solely of a limited number of convolutional layers for spatial downsampling and pooling layers for temporal downsampling. A learnable scaling coefficient is incorporated to automatically optimize the relative weighting during token-wise addition, ensuring stable and adaptive feature fusion.

+Then we adopted the token addition strategy to inject camera pose control into the MM-DiT backbone. Dual lightweight learnable tokenizers are used to achieve efficient feature fusion between video and action tokens, enabling effective interactive control.

+### 4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+Consistently generating long or potentially infinite-length videos remains a fundamental challenge in interactive video generation. As shown in Fig [5](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F5 "Figure 5 ‣ 4.1 Continuous Action Space and Injection ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"), current video extrapolation approaches can be categorized into three main paradigms: (1) training-free inference from single images, (2) rolling streaming generation with non-uniform noise windows, and (3) chunk-wise extension using historical segments. As shown in Fig [6](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F6 "Figure 6 ‣ 4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")(a), training-free methods lack insufficient historical context during extrapolation, leading to inconsistent generation quality and frequent scene collapse in iterative generation. The streaming approach shows significant architectural incompatibility with our image-to-video foundation model, where the causal VAE’s uneven encoding of initial versus subsequent frames fundamentally limits efficiency and scalability. To address these limitations, we investigate hybrid-conditioned autoregressive video extension, where multiple guidance conditions are mixed during training to achieve high consistency, fidelity, and compatibility.
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+As illustrated in Fig. [5](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F5 "Figure 5 ‣ 4.1 Continuous Action Space and Injection ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"), we define each autoregressive step as a chunk latent denoising process guided by head latent and interactive signals. The chunk latent, serving as a global representation by causal VAE, is subsequently decoded into a temporally consistent video segment that precisely corresponds to the input action. Head condition can be different forms, including (i) a single image frame latent, (ii) the final latent from the previous clip, or (iii) a longer latent clip segment. Hunyuan-GameCraft achieves high-fidelity denoising of chunk latents through concatenation at both condition and noise levels. An additional binary mask assigns value 1 to head latent regions and 0 to chunk segments, enabling precise control over the denoising part. Within the noise schedule, the preceding head condition remains noise-free as clean latent, which guides subsequent noisy chunk latents through flow matching to progressively denoise and generate new clean video clips for the next denoising iteration.
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+We conduct extensive experiments on the three aforementioned head conditions, as detailed in Fig [6](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F6 "Figure 6 ‣ 4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"). The results demonstrate that autoregressive video extension shows improved consistency and generation quality when the head condition contains more information, while interactive performance decreases accordingly. This trade-off occurs because the training data comes from segmented long videos, where subsequent clips typically maintain motion continuity with preceding ones. As a result, stronger historical priors naturally couple the predicted next clip with the given history, which limits responsiveness to changed action inputs. However, richer reference information simultaneously enhances temporal coherence and generation fidelity.

Using history clip condition (b) will result in control degradation. With our proposed hybrid history condition (c), the model can achieve accurate action control and history preservation (see red box). W, A, S denote moving forward, left and backward.

+Figure 7: Qualitative comparison on the test benchmark. We compare with Matrix-Game on multi-actions control accuracy and long-term consistency. And we compare with other camera-controlled video generation arts CameraCtrl, MotionCtrl and WanX-Cam on single-action control accuracy. In our case, blue-lit keys indicate key presses. W, A, S, D represent transition movement and ↑, ←, ↓, → denote changes in view angles.
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+To address this trade-off, in addition to constructing training samples and applying stratified sampling, hybrid-conditioned training is proposed to mix all three extension modes during training to jointly optimize both interactive capability and generation consistency. This hybrid approach achieves state-of-the-art performance by reasonably balancing these competing objectives. The hybrid-conditioned paradigm also provides practical deployment benefits. It successfully integrates two separate tasks (initial frame generation and video extension) into a unified model. This integration enables seamless transitions between generation modes without requiring architectural modifications, making the solution particularly valuable for real-world applications that demand both flexible control and coherent long-term video generation.

+### 4.3 Accelerated Generative Interaction
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+To enhance the gameplay experience and enable accelerated interaction with the generated game videos, we further extend our approach by integrating acceleration techniques. A promising direction involves combining our core framework with Consistency Models \[[21](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib21)\], a state-of-the-art method for accelerating diffusion-based generation. In particular, we adopt the Phased Consistency Model (PCM) \[[28](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib28)\], which distills the original diffusion process and classifier-free guidance into a compact eight-step consistency model. To further reduce computational overhead and improve inference efficiency, we introduce Classifier-Free Guidance Distillation. This approach defines a distillation objective that trains the student model to directly produce guided outputs without relying on external guidance mechanisms, the object function is designed as:

Hunyuan-GameCraft builds upon text-to-video foundation model HunyuanVideo  \[[18](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib18)\], implementing a latent mask mechanism and hybrid history conditioning to achieve image-to-video generation and long video extension. The experiments employ full-parameter training on 192 NVIDIA H20 GPUs, conducted in two phases with a batch size of 48. The first phase trains the model for 30k iterations at a learning rate of 3×10−53superscript1053\\times 10^{-5}3 × 10 start\_POSTSUPERSCRIPT - 5 end\_POSTSUPERSCRIPT using all collected game data and synthetic data at their original proportions. The second phase introduces data augmentation techniques, as described in Sec. [3](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S3 "3 Dataset Construction ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"), to balance action distributions, while reducing the learning rate to 1×10−51superscript1051\\times 10^{-5}1 × 10 start\_POSTSUPERSCRIPT - 5 end\_POSTSUPERSCRIPT for an additional 20,000 iterations to enhance generation quality and interactive performance. The hybrid history condition maintains specific ratios: 0.70.70.70.7 for single historical clip, 0.050.050.050.05 for multiple historical clips, and 0.250.250.250.25 for single frame.

+Evaluation Metrics. We employ several metrics for comprehensive evaluation to ensure fair comparison. We utilize Fréchet Video Distance(FVD) \[[25](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib25)\] to evaluate the video realism. Relative pose error (RPE trans and RPE rot) are adopted to evaluate interactive control performance, after applying a Sim3 Umeyama alignment on the reconstructed trajectory of prediction to the ground truth. Following Matrix-Game, we employ Image Quality and Aesthetic scores for visual quality assessment, while utilizing Temporal Consistency to evaluate the visual and cinematographic continuity of generated sequences. For dynamic performance evaluation, we adapt the Dynamic Degree metric from VBench \[[16](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib16)\], modifying its original binary classification approach to directly report absolute optical flow values as Dynamic Average, enabling a more nuanced, continuous assessment of motion characteristics. Additionally, we incorporate user preference scores obtained from user studies.

+
+Quantitative Comparison. We conduct comprehensive comparisons with Matrix-Game, the current leading open-source game interaction model, under identical gaming scenarios. Despite employing the same base model \[[18](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#bib.bib18)\], Hunyuan-GameCraft demonstrates significant improvements across the majority of key metrics, including generation quality, dynamic capability, control accuracy, and temporal consistency as shown in Tab. [2](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S5.T2 "Table 2 ‣ 5.1 Experimental Setup ‣ 5 Experiment ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"). Notably, Hunyuan-GameCraft achieves the best results in dynamic performance compared to Matrix-Game, while simultaneously reducing interaction errors by 55%percent5555\\%55 % in cross-domain tests. These advancements are attributable to our optimized training strategy and conditional injection mechanism, which collectively enable robust interactive generation across both gaming scenarios and diverse artistic styles.

+
+We also evaluate generation quality and control accuracy on the same test set, with quantitative results presented in Tab. [2](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S5.T2 "Table 2 ‣ 5.1 Experimental Setup ‣ 5 Experiment ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"). Hunyuan-GameCraft demonstrates superior performance compared to other baselines. The results suggest that our action-space formulation captures fundamental principles of camera motion that transcend game scene characteristics. Furthermore, we report the inference speed of each baseline. Our method can achieve nearly real-time inference while slightly damaging the dynamic and visual quality, which is more suitable for game scene interaction.

+Qualitative Comparison. As shown in Fig. [7](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F7 "Figure 7 ‣ 4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"), we qualitatively demonstrate superior capabilities of Hunyuan-GameCraft from multiple perspectives. The part(a) compares our method with Matrix-Game in sequential single-action scenarios, using the Minecraft environment originally employed for training of Matrix-Game. The results demonstrate significantly superior interaction capabilities of Hunyuan-GameCraft. Furthermore, continuous left-right rotations effectively showcase the enhanced historical information retention enabled by hybrid history condition training approach. The comparison of both game interaction models with sequential coupled action is shown in (b). Our method can accurately map input-coupled interaction signals while maintaining both quality consistency and spatial coherence during long video extension, achieving an immersive exploration experience. Part(c) focuses on evaluating image-to-video generation performance under single action across all baselines. Hunyuan-GameCraft demonstrates significant advantages in dynamic capability, including windmill rotation consistency, as well as overall visual quality.

+
+Data Distribution. To understand the distinct contributions of game data and synthetic data, we began with an ablation study evaluating their impact on the model’s capabilities. Notably, the synthetic data does not highlight dynamic objects due to the computational expense and complexity of generating dynamical scenes. Tab. [4](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S5.T4 "Table 4 ‣ 5.3 Ablation Study ‣ 5 Experiment ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")(a)(b) demonstrate that training exclusively on synthetic data significantly improves interaction accuracy but substantially degrades dynamic generation capabilities, while gameplay data exhibits the opposite characteristics. Our training distribution achieves balanced results.
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+Action Control Injection. Here we present ablation details for our camera injection experiments. Since the Plücker embeddings are already temporally and spatially aligned with the video latent representations, we implement three straightforward camera control schemes: (i) Token Addition, (ii) Token Concatenation, and (iii) Channel-wise Concatenation, as shown in the Tab. [4](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S5.T4 "Table 4 ‣ 5.3 Ablation Study ‣ 5 Experiment ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")(c)(d)(g). Simply adding control signals at the initial stage achieves state-of-the-art control performance. Considering computational efficiency, we ultimately adopt Token Addition in our framework.
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+Hybrid History Conditioning. Hunyuan-GameCraft implements hybrid history conditioning for video generation and extension. Fig. [6](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F6 "Figure 6 ‣ 4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition") visually demonstrates visual results under different conditioning schemes, while we provide quantitative ablation analysis here. As shown in Tab. [4](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S5.T4 "Table 4 ‣ 5.3 Ablation Study ‣ 5 Experiment ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition")(e)(f)(g), Hunyuan-GameCraft achieves satisfactory control accuracy when trained with single frame conditioning, yet suffers from quality degradation over multiple action sequences due to limited historical context, leading to quality collapse as shown in Fig. [6](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S4.F6 "Figure 6 ‣ 4.2 Hybrid history conditioned Long Video Extension ‣ 4 Method ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"). When employing historical clip conditioning, the model exhibits degraded interaction accuracy when processing control signals that significantly deviate from historical motions. Our hybrid history conditioning effectively balances this trade-off, enabling Hunyuan-GameCraft to simultaneously achieve superior interaction performance, long-term consistency and visual quality.

+6 Generalization on Real Worlds
+-------------------------------
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+Although our model is tailored for game scenes, the integration of a pre-trained video foundation model significantly enhances its generalization capabilities, enabling it to generate interactive videos in real-world domains as well. As shown in Fig [10](https://arxiv.org/html/2506.17201v1#S5.F10 "Figure 10 ‣ 5.3 Ablation Study ‣ 5 Experiment ‣ Hunyuan-GameCraft: High-dynamic Interactive Game Video Generation with Hybrid History Condition"), given images in real world, Hunyuan-GameCraft can successfully generate reasonable video with conditioned camera movement while keeping the dynamics.

+
+7 Limitations and Future Work
+-----------------------------
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+While Hunyuan-GameCraft demonstrates impressive capabilities in interactive game video generation, its current action space is mainly tailored to open-world exploration and lacks a wider array of game-specific actions such as shooting, throwing, and explosions. In future work, we will expand the dataset with more diverse gameplay elements. Building on our advancements in controllability, long-form video generation, and history preservation, we will focus on developing the next-generation model for more physical and playable game interactions.

+
+8 Conclusion
+------------
+
+Report issue for preceding element
+
+In this paper, we introduce Hunyuan-GameCraft, a significant step forward in interactive video generation. Through a unified action representation, hybrid history-conditioned training, and model distillation, our framework enables fine-grained control, efficient inference, and scalable long video synthesis. Besides, Hunyuan-GameCraft delivers enhanced realism, responsiveness, and temporal coherence. Our results demonstrate substantial improvements over existing methods, establishing Hunyuan-GameCraft as a robust foundation for future research and real-time deployment in immersive gaming environments.
