* The "Capcom Universe" in which every [=CapCom=] series exists in the same setting, separated only by time and space. It was officially created for ''[=CapCom=] Fighting Jam'' and is the setting used for all Videogame/CapComVsWhatever games following it...although plot developments suggest there are in fact multiples of this "[=CapCom=] universe" or that NegativeContinuity is in affect.

** Speaking of Marvel and DC, every comic book was its own story with its own universe, each being an anthology series. Then the stories started colliding, creating superhero teams such as the ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague'' and the ''ComicBook/{{Avengers}}''.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', particularly the story modes in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'', establish a universe where all the Nintendo characters (plus [[VideoGame/MetalGear Snake]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]], [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} the Belmonts]], [[GuestFighter etc.]]) co-exist in the same universe. Even more extreme in ''Ultimate'', where ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' and ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' characters are drawn from different points in their own continuities' timeline.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', the CrisisCrossover for the Franchise/FateSeries, takes place in its own timeline separate from other works. Played with in that the franchise is known for having {{Alternate Universe}}s being a known fact in-universe, and that the characters from the other ''Fate'' works are explicitly pulled from there with the special SummoningRitual unique to ''Grand Order'''s world or via special crossovers.

* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' and [[VideoGame/Injustice2 its sequel]] both take place in one of the DC lore's many unaccounted-for alternate universes.
* The ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' games take place in a crossover world that has a red-hot go at being a crossover of crossovers. If disparate characters have ever shared a spotlight before (i.e. ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken, VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'') expect them to recognize each other here. However, PXZ itself is explicitly a PostScriptSeason to each and every one of its sources to avoid plot conflicts.
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', particularly the story modes in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'', establish a universe where all the Nintendo characters (plus Snake, Cloud, the Belmonts, etc) co-exist in the same universe.

* According to Eiji Aonuma, ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' takes place in an separate dimension from the canonical games of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''. There's a Link, Zelda, Impa, and Ganondorf in this dimension, but all other returning ''Zelda'' characters (such as Midna, Darunia, and Fi) are pulled from portals into other timelines in order to make this crossover possible.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' takes place in a universe where Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/SquareEnix universes collide.
** That’s not all. Every ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'', Creator/{{Pixar}}, and live-action movies are collided in the Disney side, and every video game developed by Square Enix (every Franchise/FinalFantasy game and ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'') are connected on the Square side.
