The Future of Gaming: Rethinking Consoles and AAA Titles

The future of AAA games, such as Assassin's Creed, Madden, and Call of Duty, is uncertain as the gaming industry undergoes a shift. The increasing complexity and cost of producing AAA games, coupled with the rise of live service games like Fortnite and Roblox, as well as subscription-based models like Game Pass and Apple Arcade, are challenging the traditional AAA model. The fate of these big-name titles may be influenced by the emergence of indie darlings and metaverses. Grand Theft Auto, with its history of game-changing releases, is seen as a key indicator of where the industry is headed.
