No. AAA games don’t really exist anymore. They’re a thing of the past.

Do they still make AAA games anymore? They take so long to develop and lots of them get cancelled at the very end or a month after release.

In what way? Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Gearbox, Bethesda, Capcom, etc etc all still make and release new games.

Because AAA doesn’t just mean “new game”. AAA is about budget, the size of development teams, the time it takes to make, and monetization layers. The AAA industry is struggling because they don’t really make games like they used to.

Ok. That doesn’t change anything about the companies I exampled. Those are triple A game companies.

It’s fine. I like smaller indie games anyway. For $3 on Steam I can run down a spooky Japanese hallway.

Believe most games people perceive as AAA are actually AAAA but its all a loss of hogwash

What game is a AAAA game?

Whatever Ubisoft or Microsoft deem to be a AAAA game because they’re the only ones using that term.
