According to a report, the media interviewed a group of Korean developers who discussed the shift in the local industry away from mobile games and free-to-play (F2P) business models. However, there are differences of opinion on the growth potential of the console market in the region.
Shift Up, the study behind Stellar Blade, revealed that only 5% of its sales in PS5 came from the Korean market. CEO Kim Hyung-tae believes that single-player games could be more successful if released on both consoles and PCs, as he sees greater growth potential on the latter platform.
On the other hand, Round8 Studio took a more cautious stance. Its chief executive, Jason Parknoted that in Korea only a “fixed number of people” play single-player titles on consoles or PCs. According to Park, Lies of P It was designed for a global audience, and that is where its success lies.
