AO-rated (Adults Only)

AO-rated stands for "Adults Only" and is a content designation used primarily in the video game industry. It indicates that the game is intended exclusively for adults, typically due to explicit language, sexual content, or graphic violence. This rating suggests that the game is not suitable for players under 18 and may contain material that is considered offensive or mature. Publishers and retailers may restrain from selling AO-rated games to younger audiences, making them less accessible compared to other ratings like M (Mature).
