Applications for the “2026 Game Development AI Transformation (AX) Support Program” sponsored by the Korea Game Developers Association, Korea Mobile Game Association, and Korea AI Game Association began on the 18th and will run until the 27th.
This AX support program supports the introduction of AI technology into the development environment of small and medium-sized game developers, indie game teams, and individual creators in Japan, with the aim of improving productivity, reducing production costs, strengthening creative capabilities, and ensuring global competitiveness.
The program aims to lower the barrier to AI adoption for game developers through hands-on on-site support, increase the use of AI throughout the development process for small and indie studios, and ultimately build a sustainable foundation for a gaming AI transformation (AX) ecosystem in the domestic industry.
Subscription fee support for AI solutions is tiered based on company size, with a maximum of 5 million won for approximately 200 companies with 1 to 2 employees and 5 million won for companies with 1 to 2 employees. Up to 10 million won for approximately 150 companies with 3 to 10 employees. Up to 20 million won for approximately 100 companies with 11 to 20 employees. Up to 50 million won for approximately 50 companies with 21 to 50 employees. Applications will be accepted on each association’s website from 10 a.m. on May 18th to 3 p.m. on May 27th. Duplicate applications are not allowed.
This program is intended for all game developers, excluding companies belonging to large corporate groups subject to disclosure, and all game developers, excluding companies or individuals who have already been selected for the Korea Creative Content Agency’s game production support (excluding selection for the Indie Game Development Camp) in 2026 or other AI support programs of various ministries in 2026.
We will be holding an online information session via Zoom from 2:00pm to 3:00pm on May 22nd to deepen your understanding of the program. Further information, conference links and detailed application guidelines can be found on each association’s website.
