Typical rates in South Korea

Often near the low end of market rates

Studios in South Korea usually sit at the lower end of the published rate ranges. Entry-level 2D art tends to start around $25-40/hour and mid-range 3D art around $50-100/hour, with senior talent climbing toward the upper bands ($100-200/hour) for AAA-level work. Across the market, hourly rates run roughly $25-150 for 2D art, $30-200 for 3D art, $35-250 for programming, and $30-200 for audio, moving up with seniority. South Korea is one of the more affordable places to outsource, though Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are exceptions and price closer to Western studios. Budget extra time for review cycles and timezone gaps when working with the lower-cost markets here.

These are general market ranges, not quoted studio rates. For a full breakdown by service and seniority, see the game outsourcing cost guide. Need a specific engine? Compare Unity and Unreal Engine studios.
