In 2020, when the world became non-face-to-face due to the unprecedented corona pandemic situation, BTS, which turned the whole world upside down, was nominated for the American Grammy Awards following the Billboard Music Awards, proving the importance of fandom as well as musicality. The number of PC and mobile game users has increased significantly due to measures such as social distancing and self-isolation to prevent the spread of the corona pandemic. The domestic game market is focused on mobile and PC games, but the console market is also growing every year. In particular, we can expect the appearance of the 9th-generation consoles XBOX Series X and PlayStation 5 to be released in 2020, changes in game platforms such as “Let’s Get Together Animal Forest” and changes in game users’ culture and game market according to the killer title. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of game users and game fandom culture according to the change of the game platform, derive a competitive plan that the Korean game industry should have in the post-corona era, and suggest the direction for the game industry.
