GameNGen's ICLR version (arXiv v2) says the action set is 'key presses' of DOOM and that each action is embedded into a single token; the paper text never lists the individual actions (no hit for mouse, keyboard or discrete in the whole PDF text), so the exact action set is not stated. Stated numbers: 320x240 frames padded to 320x256, context of 64 frames plus 64 actions (a little over 3 seconds), 20 fps with four DDIM steps on a TPU-v5 (50 fps with distillation), trained on RL-agent play where each agent action is held for 4 frames. Table 2 shows PSNR rising from 20.94 at one history frame to 22.36 at 64.
