Naughty Dog has been a key part of PlayStation’s current success. Founded in 1984, the studio joined PlayStation’s first-party family in 2001 and created several genre-defining releases for PlayStation consoles.
While it was initially known for platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, Naughty Dog has become a pioneer of modern cinematic games. Releases like The Last of Us inspired games using a similar formula for deep stories and memorable characters.
Naughty Dog has also been among PlayStation’s most proficient studios. The team is famous for pushing console hardware to its limits, even putting the infamously difficult PS3 architecture to good use. Naughty Dog is expected to continue this trend; you can learn all about it from the articles below.
