List Of AO-rated Video Games
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the video game content rating board for North America, has issued an "Adults Only" (AO) rating for 27 released video games. AO is the highest rating in the ESRB system, and indicates the game's content is suitable only for players aged 18 years and over. The majority of AO-rated games are adult video games, typically those with pornographic or strong sexual content. Three games have been given the rating solely due to extreme levels of violence: the canceled ''Thrill Kill'' (1998), the initial cut of ''Manhunt 2'' (2007), and ''Hatred'' (2015). The only game to receive the rating for other reasons is ''Peak Entertainment Casinos'' (2003), which allows players to gamble using real money. '' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' (2004) was temporarily re-rated from M ("Mature") to AO after a sexually-explicit minigame was found hidden in the game, but the M rating was reinstated after Rockstar Games patched out the content.
