Online game revenue decreased by 9.2% to KRW 81,017 million (US$ 62,757 thousand) in 2023 from KRW 89,256 million in 2022. The decrease in online game revenue was mostly decreased revenues from Ragnarok Online in Taiwan and the Philippines.

This increase was mainly due to increased revenues from Ragnarok Origin which was launched in Southeast Asia on April 6, 2023 and such increase was partially offset by decreased revenues from Ragnarok X: Next Generation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, Ragnarok Origin in the United States, Canada, Korea, and Japan, and Ragnarok M: Eternal Love.

As a result of the foregoing factors, gross profit for 2023 was KRW 240,558 million (US$ 186,339 thousand), representing a 22.6% increase from KRW 196,253 million for 2022.
