It's debatable if Larian is AAA, imo they are not but if you consider them then you found one yes

    What's debatable about Larian being a AAA studio?

    They are not that big, and they are independent. Larian has less than a 1000 employees, while the likes of Ubisoft number in the multiple thousands.

    Ubisoft is a publisher, not a game dev studio. They publish games made by their child studios. They don’t produce games themselves.

    Yes, they have 500 employees which would be quite large for an Indie development studio.

    DICE (studio behind the Battlefield games), for example, has 700 employees. CD Project RED, (Cyberpunk, Witcher games), has 615 employees.

    If budget is the qualifier for AAA, Larian has put out multiple massive budgeted games in both BG3 and Divinity 2. I’m not sure which metric would disqualify Larian as being a AAA studio.

    To me Larian would be a AA studio.

    Ubisoft is a publisher, not a game dev studio. They publish games made by their child studios. They don’t produce games themselves.

    Ubisoft Paris Mobile, Ubisoft Ivory Tower, Ubisoft Nadeo, Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Owlient, Ubisoft Da Nang, Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Chengdu, Ubisoft San Francisco, Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Mumbai, Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft Mainz, Ubisoft Bordeaux, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Saguenay, and Ubisoft Bucharest to name a few are Ubisoft and they produce and publish games.

    Yes, these are all their children studios. Ubisoft Entertainment (colloquially referred to as just Ubisoft), as an entity, is a video game publisher.

    Does that make all their children studios AAA? A lot of them don't have massive employee numbers and their budget per game varies greatly lol.
