Grand Theft Auto Could Redefine Game Scale as “Aaaaa” Title, Industry Experts Predict
Los Angeles, CA – Grand Theft auto, the long-awaited next installment in Rockstar Games’ blockbuster franchise, is poised to transcend existing game classifications and become the world’s first “Aaaaa” game, according to leading figures in the gaming industry. The prediction stems from the unprecedented scope, scale, cultural impact, and attention the title is expected to command upon release.
Gamesight boss Adam Lieb and Devolver Digital-Med founder Nigel Lowrie discussed the potential for a new game classification in a recent interview with IGN, drawing parallels to the anticipation surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong this year.Lowrie stated, “There are AAA games and then there are AAAA games, and I would argue that Grand Theft Auto is potentially AAAAA GAME. It is just greater than anything else, both in terms of the scope of the game and the scale and the cultural influence it has and the attention it requires.”
The “Aaaaa” designation reflects the belief that Grand Theft Auto will surpass even the most ambitious “AAAA” titles, like Skull & Bones, in terms of growth investment, marketing reach, and overall cultural phenomenon. Lieb added, “I would say that the GTA over the past year and a half has been a part of almost all conversations around launch dates I’ve heard,” highlighting the game’s pervasive presence in industry discussions and consumer anticipation.
The prediction underscores the immense expectations placed on Rockstar Games to deliver a groundbreaking experience with the next Grand Theft Auto title, a game many believe will redefine the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
