While Naughty Dog is working on its next title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, that hasn't stopped people from taking a jab at the studio for having spent almost the entire PlayStation 5 generation without releasing a brand-new game--and it looks like even GTA 6 is having a little bit of fun at Naughty Dog's expense.
The recent GTA 6 leaks from Cyberleek have been a treasure trove of information about the game, especially the amount of detail that can be found in virtually every corner of it. One such detail you might easily miss is a collection of video game covers, one of which is a thinly veiled reference to the video game series The Last of Us. As seen in the screenshot below, players can find a copy of We Came Together: 1, 2, & 3 Remasters of the Remixes.
The text used here is very similar to the logo of The Last of Us, complete with a splash of orange to break it all up. It's not the only studio that GTA 6 is parodying, as you can even find a cover for what's probably a souls-like game on the shelf:
The ribbing of The Last of Us likely stems from the fact that, compared to the PS3 and PS4 eras, Naughty Dog's output for PS5 has been much smaller. There are a number of reasons for that, as the increased complexity of developing modern video games means that a project can take several years to complete. The multi-year development and eventual cancellation of The Last of Us Online also consumed massive studio resources for years and ended without a finished product.
