Why Is Mortal Kombat Not Rated AO?
The ESRB tends to reserve the AO rating for games with explicit sexual content, which Mortal Kombat doesn't feature. Instead, its gore and violence fall under the M (Mature) rating.

Because it focuses on intense violence and brutal fatalities rather than explicit sexual content, so it gets an M rating.
I鈥檝e played Mortal Kombat for years, and while it鈥檚 super gory, it doesn鈥檛 cross the line into the AO territory that usually includes sexual content.
Hot take: It鈥檚 all about what鈥檚 marketable. An AO rating would limit sales and Mortal Kombat is too popular for the industry to let that happen.
