The authors introduce Player-1, a post-training framework that first fine-tunes a vision-language model on 6,044 curated gameplay demonstrations, then applies reinforcement learning in 16 synthetic game environments designed to cover common control demands.

The authors extended a computer-use agent with a shared action space that includes relative pointer motion, sustained inputs, and composite actions.
