Five South Korean game and e-sports associations urged the government and parliament to add a tax credit for game production costs to the 2026 tax revision plan and to extend and expand an e-sports tournament operating cost credit set to expire at year-end.

They also called for raising the e-sports credit rate and expanding its geographic scope nationwide.
