The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) are calling for applications for the 2026 Game Content Production Support Program until March 3rd.

The 2026 Game Content Production Support Program spans various sectors including General (PC, console, mobile, arcade, board games), Functional (designated), and AI-driven gaming. A total of 23.6 billion KRW is on the table to back approximately 82 projects.

The 'General Game Content Production' segment, worth 19.3 billion KRW, covers PC, console, mobile, arcade, and board games. Notably, a launch-focused tier (2nd year) has been introduced for mobile games, allowing for two consecutive years of support.

For the PC sector, developers can secure up to 400 million KRW in the first year (development) and 200 million KRW in the second (launch). Console projects see a tiered structure: up to 200 million KRW (1st year), 500 million KRW (2nd year), and 200 million KRW (3rd year launch), with up to 400 million KRW for platform porting. Mobile development receives up to 400 million KRW (1st year) and 200 million KRW (2nd year), while arcade projects get up to 200 million KRW, and board games receive up to 80 million KRW per project.

The 'Functional Game' category has a 1.6 billion KRW pool, offering up to 300 million KRW per project. This focuses on social contribution, services for seniors/the disabled, and therapeutic applications. Additionally, two top-performing projects from 2025 will receive up to 50 million KRW each.

AI game development is the fresh face of this year's program. With 2.7 billion KRW allocated, applicants can receive up to 300 million KRW per project. The goal here is to identify games where AI is the core element of gameplay to secure future growth and a competitive edge globally.

Selected titles will undergo rigorous Focus Group Testing (FGT) with both local and international players and experts, alongside quality assurance support before launch.

Beyond cash, the program facilitates participation in major international expos like ChinaJoy, Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, Gamescom Asia, and Brazil Game Show, alongside localization aid and financial investment matching.

An information session will be held at the CKL Corporate Support Centre in Gwanghwamun on the 24th, covering the application process, indie game support, and a Q&A session.

Companies looking to apply must prepare the necessary documentation and submit their entries by 3:00 PM on March 3rd via the e-Nara Help official website. Further details can be found on the KOCCA official website and the official e-Nara Help project notice.
