AAA Game
In the world of video games, AAA (pronounced “triple-A”) refers to games at the top of the food chain. These are titles with the biggest budgets, involving large development teams and hefty marketing campaigns. Imagine the blockbuster movies of Hollywood – AAA games are the video game equivalent.
Made by major publishers, AAA games are expected to be the hottest releases, featuring cutting-edge graphics, immersive storylines, and expansive gameplay.

There’s even a sub-category, AAA+, for the absolute cream of the crop in terms of sales or production value.
