2015 was a year packed with releases of all kinds, notable video games like Splatoon, Black Ops III, or Metal Gear Solid V will turn 10 years old in 2025.
Yes, it’s totally normal for AAA (and Ubi AAAA) games to enter early access before full release to finance development post ACT I… Yes, BG3 is totally a AAA game and Larian a AAA studio… FML!
And to think Larian is some small company is also silly. It has over 400 employees and 7 offices. It’s privately owned, yes, but it hasn’t been an AA studio since the success of Divinity Original Sin 2 and most definitely not since the massive success of BG3.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a AA game from Larian, a Belgian developer which is private and not a public company traded in the stock market.
BG3 is not an AA game, lol. The A’s simply mean budget, and BG3 had a budget of over $100 million.

That’s literally what AAA means…
