At the time of its release, several licensed games were produced for arcade and home console, including the tie-in of the same name ''VideoGame/{{Tron}}''. A sequel called ''Discs of TRON'' was released almost immediately after, being as it was content intended for the first but cut because of space limitations. A handful of ports and other titles were then adapted for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari2600}} and UsefulNotes/{{Intellivision}}.

In 2009, Disney released a concept trailer for their in-development sequel to much acclaim. ''Film/TronLegacy'' would be released late the following year to much success. It took place on "the Grid," a mostly-isolated supercomputer (by 1989 standards) that Flynn set up to explore the world he had seen in the first film, but when an emergent life form (Isomorphic Algorithms, or Isos for short) generated spontaneously, it caused system instability and conflict, eventually leading to Flynn's administrator program staging a coup, trapping his creator and grievously injuring Tron. Twenty years later, Flynn's son Sam discovers the hidden supercomputer and laser system, taking his own trip inside the system to stop Clu's plans to invade the human world. A week before the movie's release, a prequel titled ''VideoGame/TronEvolution'' was released for home console, with a [[ReformulatedGame simplified and reworked version]] for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} (as was standard practice for licensed games at the time). These were both met with lukewarm reception after release due to mixed reviews. At the same time, another prequel titled ''Tron: Betrayal'' was published in comic form and covers events that aren't in either ''Legacy'' or ''Evolution''. There are some inconsistencies with ''Evolution'', but the two can be reconciled with minimal [[HandWave hand waving]]. [[note]] It helps that some of the conflicting events are told [[RashomonStyle from different viewpoint characters.]] [[/note]]
