A memory chip shortage driven by a surge in AI server demand is rippling through the games market, lifting prices for consoles, PCs and potentially software. Prices for DRAM and NAND have jumped, and companies such as Sony have raised PS5 prices. Steam has revised currency pricing parameters for South Korea, which could lift local game prices depending on publisher choices. Higher device and server costs may hit demand and raise risks for Korean developers preparing major PC and console releases.

Netmarble said on Tuesday it has formally launched the action role-playing game \"Mongil: Star Dive\" on PC and mobile platforms. The title is a sequel to \"Monster Taming,\" released in 2013. It features Unreal Engine 5-based characters and story presentation, a monster collecting system that includes capturing, collecting and fusing, and real-time tag-based combat built around three-person parties. The game is available via major app stores and on PC through Epic Games Store and its launcher.
