Accreditation guidelines and logo assets

It's important that New Zealanders understand that your business has been provided taxpayer dollars in the form of a rebate via the GDSR. Having this consistent accreditation on your website and in your game helps to:

  • reinforce the value of the rebate to Aotearoa New Zealand; and
  • build awareness of the GDSR.

Accreditation Guidelines

Learn how to apply the Game Development Sector Rebate (GDSR) logo assets to your:

  • business website
  • game website
  • in-game.

Our Accreditation Guidelines help you understand the requirements for use of the logo as well as where and how they must appear.

Recent successes

February 2025 - Path of Exile II launched in early access in December 2024, marking the long-awaited sequel to one of the most celebrated action role-playing games of the past decade.

The anticipation paid off—within its first month, the game made a massive impact on live streaming platforms, accumulating a staggering 94 million hours watched in December alone. This impressive engagement placed it as the fourth most-watched game in the world that month, right behind Fortnite.

Grinding Gear Games, a West Auckland-based studio, received a boost from the 2023/24 Game Development Sector Rebate. With a strong early access launch and a dedicated fanbase built over more than a decade, Path of Exile II is shaping up to be a long-term success for the studio.
