So budget, occasionally with team size seems to be the primary determinant among those here. A few say expected sales count more than anything else. Interesting.

high budget is subjective.

For example, Mighty No. 5.6/10's 4 million budget is unspeakably massive compared to the likes of other successful indies

take that budget for a game like GTA V and the results won't be pretty. 4 million would be a fraction of just advertisin

I would say a big budget game basically

and that the sales are expected to be high

Great example for pointing out that "high budget" is not subjective.

The point number 1 and number 2 make a game an AAA, the others 3 usually come with the first 2, but aren't essential to consider a project an AAA.



A game with high production values.

Costs can vary wildly.

But why wouldn't there be any AAA games on consoles? I don't think that's true at all.

It needs three 'A's in its title.

i.e. bAtmAn ArkhAm Asylum

In this case, Batman would be an AAAAA game.
