IKEA creative staff took some popular video game titles and rearranged them in fun ways.
Anyone wandering through an IKEA furniture store will find numerous sample rooms.
These are intended to help customers imagine what the furniture would look like in their own home.
And since game consoles can be found in almost every household these days, IKEA offers help in this regard - and with a little pinch of humor.
A while ago, pictures of cardboard PS5 and Xbox consoles made the rounds, with which the Swedish furniture store made fun of the huge sizes of the devices.
Now IKEA has taken another joke, this time with the titles of popular video games.

"The Last of Him", "Breath of the Wind" or "Fighter Street" at IKEA
Reddit users have discovered empty video game cases in an IKEA, the titles of which are funny allusions to popular series of games. While “
Fighter
Street
” and “
Kombat
Mortal
” simply swapped the positions of the words, the other titles received more original variations such as “
The Last of Him
”, “
Breath of the Wind
”, “
Unsalved
” or “
Among Gus
”. Gamers know that these are modifications of well-known games, including "The Last of Us", "Breath of the Wild", "Uncharted" or "Among Us".
It's not the first time that such funny fake games have been spotted at IKEA.
Several years ago exclusive games for “Beatbox 0.1” appeared, with top titles such as “Grandma's Auto”, “Call of Mutti” or “The Pimps”.
That was also shared on Reddit at the time.
