Our Story

Built by Gamers. Trusted by Thousands.

Orvaken was founded in 2014 in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul, by a group of passionate PC gamers who believed that the Korean games community deserved better — better selection, better service, and better prices.

What started as a small pop-up stall at the G-Star games expo has grown into South Korea's most trusted independent PC game retailer, with over 120,000 satisfied customers across the country and a physical showroom on Teheran-ro.

We carry over 3,500 PC titles spanning every genre — from blockbuster AAA releases to hand-curated indie gems that most retailers overlook. Every game in our catalog has been personally reviewed by our team of enthusiasts.

Every decision we make comes back to one thing: making games better for the Korean community.

Passion for Games

We are gamers first, retailers second. This shows in every game we stock, every review we write, and every customer we help.

Integrity Always

Authentic products, transparent pricing, honest advice. We never compromise on the trust our customers place in us.

Community First

From monthly tournaments to exclusive fan events, we invest in the games culture that brings people together in Korea.

Sustainable Business

We use eco-friendly packaging for all physical game shipments and offset 100% of our logistics carbon footprint annually.
