* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'': Romani musicians can be hired to play music and dance, creating a distraction for the protagonist, Ezio Auditore.
* ''Blackwood and Bell Mysteries'': A troupe of traveling Roma musicians appear as [[GentlemanDetective Blackwood]] and [[LadyOfAdventure Bell]] investigate a mysterious plague that affects a Romanian village. [[spoiler:They're the culprits... '''not'''. They even help catch the one to blame!]]
* ''VideoGame/CrimsonSkies'': Nathan Zachary, the SkyPirate player character, has Roma ancestry and the default name of his personal fighter plane reflects this.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': Maya and Meena (or Mara and Nara in the NES version's translation, Manya and Minea in the original Japanese) are depicted as Romani characters, from their dress, to their professions (belly dancer and fortune teller, respectively), even their custom [[BattleThemeMusic battle and overworld music]]. In the [[FunetikAksent accent overloaded]] [[UpdatedRerelease DS release]], they inexplicably seem to come from an area where [[{{Macekre}} everyone slips in between French and English languages and accents]].
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': The Khajiit are a race of feline humanoids, known to travel around in caravans and stereotyped as thieves and [[FantasticDrug Skooma]] dealers. In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', Khajiit caravans are forbidden from entering city walls because of this sort of prejudice.
* ''VideoGame/FableII'': The hero(ine) is raised in a Romani caravan after their [[spoiler:big sister dies]] at the end of the childhood segment. The Romani themselves are realistically skin-toned, good people making a normal living; the one who tells fortunes and is mystical is Theresa.
* ''VideoGame/GrandiaIII'': Dahna is pretty much a running checklist of Gypsy cliches. Singsong accent, [[FortuneTeller tells fortunes, lives in a desert caravan, [[HotGypsyWoman wears sexy outfits]], kills people with [[BlackMagicianGirl magic]] and tarot cards...
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonMagicalMelody'': Dan is implied to be Romani. He's a womanizing traveler that settles down at a vineyard. He can be married if you play as a woman, but he's a rival to the bartender Eve if you play as a man.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': A character is actually named "Romani", although she herself does not seem to be related to them; it's the name of the ranch. Interestingly, she is heavily based on/the alternate universe version of a girl from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' who's implied to be the daughter of the Gerudo, who ''do'' fit some gypsy stereotypes as thieves, magical, desert-dwelling, and in some games, nomadic.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': The quarians are Romani [[RecycledInSpace In Space!]]. They may be closer to actual Romani than most other media portrayals of Romani. They are only trying to survive, but they piss off a lot of people by dumping their criminals on random planets and stealing their natural resources.
* ''VideoGame/MotherRussiaBleeds'': The protagonists are members of a Gypsy encampment in Soviet Russia who make their living performing bumfights. The game starts with them getting kidnapped by the [[TheMafiya Bratva]] and used as experiments for the street drug [[PsychoSerum Nekro]].
* ''VideoGame/PowerStone'': Although [[MsFanservice Rouge]] comes from the FantasyCounterpartCulture country of Mahdad rather than Earth, she basically fits the "sexy mysterious fortune-telling dancing girl" stereotype of most Romani girls.
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': The protagonist Raz comes from a circus family of apparently Roma descent. He also states that a family of psychic gypsies cursed his family to die in water, justifying his SuperDrowningSkills.
* ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse]]'': The ridiculousness of the stereotypes of Romani is parodied, with the Moles being a FantasyCounterpartCulture of the Romani stereotype. Sam and Max are confused by how, amongst other things, the fortune-teller mole speaks in a ridiculous accent, but not the rest of her family.
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'': A group of Romani in the Transylvania region is centered in a camp in the second zone of the region, filling a number of the stereotypes, although some are spread throughout other regions. The group is involved in fighting supernatural creatures, particularly vampires.
%%* ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'': Koudelka Iasant, primarily her [[VideoGame/{{Koudelka}} self-titled prequel game]], but she figures into the later games, too [[spoiler:by being the source of Yuri's mysterious voice which guides him around, as well as being Halley's mother.]]
* ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheComet'': A small group of stereotypical Romani appear. Despite what you might expect from a Lovecraft story, they're good guys.
* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': Tira has a Romani vibe, with her [[PartsUnknown unknown birthplace]], acrobatic, dance-based move-list and overall CircusOfFear vibe.
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': In [[WordOfGod canon]], Rose is simply an Italian woman (from Genoa) with a skill for fortune-telling and tarot -- which is of course perfectly possible -- and she is never described as "Roma" or "gypsy". However, the non-canonical Udon comics, based on the game, implying that she's an ''actual'' Roma and plays this trope straight.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'': Eilie, Rina, and Bolgan live in a wandering, nomadic style, and the former two are considered MsFanservice thanks to their {{Stripperiffic}} outfits. Rina fits more due to her fortune-telling skills and skills of seducing other men.
* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'':
** Freesia York fits the stereotype as she is described as a desert nomad who works as a belly dancer before she joined the Gallian militia.
** The Darcsens are like a FantasyCounterpartCulture of gypsies and Jews.
* ''VideoGame/WindChildBlack'': Alexia is from the Chergari clan. She was raised as a nomad, has psychic powers, and peppers her speech with old Romani words. She's even boasted about being a thief and a con artist, but that was when she was younger.
