The Indonesian Game Rating System (IGRS) is a video game content rating system founded by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics in 2016.[1] [2] There are 5 classifications of ratings based on the game content, which includes the use of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, violence, blood, language, sexual content, etc.[3]
IGRS generally assigns age ratings for games that are developed and published in Indonesia, but they also provide age ratings for imported games that are verified as official Indonesian products. Starting as of late 2019, only some physical PlayStation titles are officially verified for sale in Indonesia, such as the PlayStation 4 versions of Death Stranding[4] and Minecraft.
In 2024, Ministry of Communications and Informatics revised the IGRS in Ministerial Regulation MCI 2/2024 by enforcing the requirement that every video game publisher must have an Indonesian representative office to directly submit their game to the MCI for assessment by the IGRS. Failure to do so would require in sanctions such as having the game being banned from access in Indonesia.[5] [6]
