From the iconic Crash Bandicoot series that solidified their name in the 3D platformer genre to the emotionally charged narrative of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog has established itself as a titan in game development. Known for their ability to seamlessly transition between genres, Naughty Dog's distinctive paw print logo has become a symbol of high-quality production, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable characters that resonate deeply with players.
Naughty Dog's journey from crafting whimsical platformers to delivering mature, narrative-driven experiences has been marked by a diverse portfolio of nearly two dozen games. This range spans from fantasy RPGs to educational titles. Let's explore every game Naughty Dog has released up to 2025.
Naughty Dog has released a total of 23 games, starting with their first title in 1985 and culminating with their latest in 2022. This list encompasses all original game releases, standalone expansions, and remakes, but excludes remasters and DLCs, such as the recently released Last of Us Part 2 Remaster.

The foundational project that set the stage for Naughty Dog's future, Math Jam was a collaboration between founders Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin. Developed for the Apple II under the studio name JAM, this self-published educational game focused on teaching basic arithmetic during the duo's high school years, laying the groundwork for their shift towards entertainment-focused gaming.
At just 16 years old, Rubin and Gavin released their second game, Ski Crazed, also for the Apple II. Players navigated ski slopes, dodging obstacles and striving for high scores, marking an early venture into recreational gaming.
Their third game, Dream Zone, ventured into the point-and-click adventure genre. Released in 1987, it featured a whimsical journey through a protagonist's dreamscape, filled with humorous and fantastical elements.
Marking Naughty Dog's official debut with the name and a partnership with EA, Keef the Thief was another humorous point-and-click adventure. Players explored a city and its wilderness, engaging in thievery as the titular character.
In collaboration with EA again, Rings of Power for the SEGA Genesis was an isometric RPG. Players assumed the role of sorcerer Buc, tasked with collecting pieces of a magical staff to combat an evil demon in the fantasy realm of Ushka Bau.
Naughty Dog entered the fighting game genre with Way of the Warrior for the 3DO. Players selected fighters to compete in a tournament, aiming to leave a lasting mark on the game's history.
The game that catapulted Naughty Dog to fame, Crash Bandicoot, was their first PlayStation title. Starring the iconic mutated bandicoot, players navigated challenging stages to thwart the villainous Doctor Neo Cortex, launching a franchise that remains active today.
Continuing the saga, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back had players searching for magical crystals to stop Cortex's new space vessel, featuring 25 stages with fresh mechanics and challenges.
The trilogy concluded with Crash Bandicoot: Warped, where Crash and Coco time-traveled to gather crystals and thwart Cortex and his evil ally, Uka Uka, across 25 new levels with additional hazards and mechanics.
A spin-off, Crash Team Racing, introduced arcade racing to the Crash universe. Players raced as beloved characters across hazardous tracks, competing in various modes.
Naughty Dog's shift to a new mascot platformer, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, followed the duo's quest to reverse Daxter's transformation into an otter-weasel hybrid, featuring expansive worlds and collectibles.
A darker turn, Jak 2 introduced a dystopian future setting, guns, and the Dark Jak transformation, as Jak and Daxter fought to overthrow a corrupt city leader.
The Jak and Daxter trilogy concluded with Jak 3, where the duo faced new challenges in the Wasteland and beyond, adding new vehicles, powers, and weapons to the mix.
Following the trilogy, Jak X: Combat Racing brought arcade racing to the Jak universe, allowing players to race as Jak and other characters across various tracks.
Marking Naughty Dog's shift to cinematic storytelling, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune introduced treasure hunter Nathan Drake on his quest for El Dorado, blending action, platforming, and narrative.
Nathan Drake returned in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, pursuing the Cintamani Stone and the lost city of Shambhala amidst thrilling set pieces and combat.
The final PS3 entry, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, saw Drake uncover The Atlantis of the Sands while confronting personal demons, closing the chapter on the PS3 era.
A landmark title, The Last of Us explored a post-apocalyptic world through the eyes of Joel and Ellie, delivering a gripping narrative that resonated globally, even spawning an HBO adaptation.
Originally DLC, The Last of Us: Left Behind became a standalone prequel, focusing on Ellie's backstory and her bond with Riley, enhancing the emotional depth of the main game.
The conclusion to Nathan Drake's saga, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, featured a retired Drake pulled back into treasure hunting, showcasing enhanced visuals and gameplay mechanics on the PS4.
A standalone expansion, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy introduced new protagonists Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross, exploring India in search of the Tusk of Ganesh with open-ended gameplay.
With Ellie taking the lead, The Last of Us: Part II expanded on the series' stealth mechanics and narrative depth, introducing enhanced gameplay and sparking widespread discussion. The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered was released for PS5 in 2024 and on PC in 2025, featuring improved graphics and a new roguelike mode, No Return.
A complete rebuild of the original game, The Last of Us: Part I utilized the PS5's capabilities to offer enhanced graphics, accessibility options, and gameplay improvements, including the Left Behind expansion.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet marks Naughty Dog's next venture, announced at the 2024 Game Awards. As their first new IP since The Last of Us in 2013, it's slated for a potential release in the PS6 generation, around 2027. Additionally, while not officially confirmed, studio head Neil Druckmann has hinted at a possible concept for The Last of Us Part 3, though recent statements suggest it might not come to fruition. Meanwhile, fans can look forward to The Last of Us Season 2, premiering on Max this weekend, adapting the events of the second game.
