Gaming continues its upward trajectory. 

New stats show that in Wellington alone, jobs in the sector grew 12.8% over the last year. 

New Zealand now brings in $170 million more in revenue than Australia does. 

NZ Game Development Sector Rebate Programme Director Chantelle Cole told Mike Hosking the $170 million figure is just from the rebate recipients, so they’re expecting the number to rise upon the announcement of the industry-wide figures. 

She says revenue is predicted to reach a billion dollars by as early as 2027.
