In the video game industry, AAA (Triple-A) is an informal classification used to classify video games produced and distributed by a mid-sized or major publisher, which typically have higher development and marketing budgets than other tiers of games). AAA games are generally expected to be of excellent technical and graphical quality with top-notch mechanics, minimal bugs, and high production values. They are often part of successful franchises, with new installments building on the success of previous games. AAA games are also increasingly being incorporated into more mobile gaming platforms, requiring powerful 3D graphics, high-performance compute, machine learning, and constant connectivity on mobile devices. The term "AAA+" has also been used to describe AAA type games that generated additional revenue over time, in a similar fashion to massively multiplayer online games, by using games-as-a-service methods such as season passes and expansion packs). The similar construction "III" (Triple-I) has also been used to describe high-production-value games in the indie game industry).
