* The UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' has backstage chatter among the employees as it opens. One version has one of the staff complaining about something which is responded in kind with "KISS MY- (AIRHORN)" though the offender quickly apologizes.

* ''VideoGame/{{Blazblue}}'' makes use of these on occasion, usually with the sound of the various characters calling out their attacks. In one case this makes for a particularly hilarious scene where Kokonoe suggests ideas of where install a new weapon on the body of Iron Tager, considering his [[MemeticMutation "GIGANTIC TAGER"]] as an option.

* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTsu'' Ketteiban, during [[https://youtu.be/V_YEHdVwlQU?t=244 this]] cutscene, Incubus swears 3 times, each swear replaced with the beep and some animal roars. Apparently, whatever got beeped out was so obscene, Arle is blushing red as a result.

* In ''VideoGame/BrawlStars'', Jacky has a lot of her lines censored by jackhammer noises. There exist uncensored voice lines, but they are much more kid friendly. For example: "Holy ''cow''!" And "I'll stick a ''cookie'' in your ''face''!"

* For some bizarre reason, a number of H-games bleep out the word "penis" (or the Japanese equivalent).

----
* ''VideoGame/ConkerLiveAndReloaded'': Most of the curse words are censored with a regular bleep. The lyrics during the fight against Great Mighty Poo, on the other hand, are censored with fart sounds.
* In ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', when the player is about to invade the Citadel, Barney's parting words are partly obscured by a heavy crash caused by Dog, resulting in "If you see Dr. Breen tell him I said fu- *CRASH!* -ou!" The crashing sound isn't part of the audio file for Barney's dialogue though, so the line can be heard in full in the game's files. Barney's voice actor even said the "fuck" part softly so that the crash would completely mute it out.
* In the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' promotional video "Meet the Demoman", one of the Demoman's lines is "I'm a black-Scottish cyclops! They got more f[BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP]s than they got the likes o' me." The bleep goes on for quite some time, leading the viewer to believe that the demoman has quite the colorful vocabulary. [[note]]But according to files hidden in Source Filmmaker, the bleeped line was actually "They got more feckin' sea monsters in the great Loch o' Ness than they got the likes of me!"[[/note]]
** "Meet the Scout" and "Meet the Spy" do it too, but less as a gag and more to make a point: "If you were from where I was from, you'd be f***in' dead." in the former, "And now he's here to f*** ''us!''" in the latter.
*** This is also present in the Spanish "[[http://store.steampowered.com/app/5063/ Meet The Sniper]]" video. In the English video, there is no such bleep (the English line is "I gotta be honest with ya: My parents...do not care for it").
*** Then in "Meet the Pyro", the Scout, not wanting to speak ill of the Pyro if he/she/it might be nearby, is struggling to remove his lapel mic and says "How do I get this ''(mic thump)''in' thing off?"
** Scout is again responsible for one in "Meet the Medic," albeit in a CurseCutShort variant...due to an explosion. And an impact with a window where he gets the worse of the encounter.
--->'''Scout:''' Whoa! What the fu--''*BOOM!*''--UUUUUUU--''*CRASH!*'' ...Medic.
** One in "Expiration Date", again from the Spy: "Scout, please, go f*** yourself!"
* The commando's first mission in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' comes through bad interference: "Get in, ''kkk'' destroy the ''kkkkk'' and get the ''kkkkk'' out."
* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank''
** The end of ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando'' has [[GirlOfTheWeek Angela]] yelling "What the *HONK* is going on around here!?" Her mouth was also black-barred, so no lip-reading either.
** The director of the Giant Clank Battle in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' yells "That's it, Clank! Kick some---!" when he's overridden by static from his megaphone.
** Gleeman Vox has an interesting one in [[VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked the fourth game]], "It's time to blow sh-*BEEP*-it up!" The beep is so short it still sounds like one word.
*** He does it again when berating Ace Hardlight on any lack of public interest in the latter's merchandise. "He's a pompous *BLEEP* with the charisma of Blargian Gnat Cheese!"
* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' has one where, if you click on a Space Marine unit one too many times, he curses you out with a series of bleeps.
** And if you [[StopPokingMe click on the Vulture enough times]], the driver will say "I don't have time to f*beep* around!".
*** In ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', it is replaced with "I don't have time to (VROOOOM!) around!"
** The Firebat gets one as one of his attack quotes in 'VideoGame/StarCraftII'' as well.
-->'''Firebat:''' They do not know who they are (FWOOSH)ing with!
* ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry7LoveForSail'' features a pirate named Peggy who swears every other word, but each one is bleeped out. They even bleep out the word "stump".
* ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'': Suginami helpfully whispers to Nemu the ''other'' meaning to her "[[InnocentInnuendo I want you to do it both ways]]", ending with a confused Nemu saying "Please ???? my ????, and take your ???? and put it deep and stir, niisan?"
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5MGGZZwmCg The New York intro]] in ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'', in which Michael's utterance of "you are a sick-" is cut short by [[JustBetweenYouAndMe more monologue]] by Richard.
* In the CompilationRerelease ''Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits'' (and in subsequent re-released versions, including Midway Arcade Treasures), whenever Eugene Jarvis says a naughty word in the various interview segments, he's bleeped out by the sound effect from Defender (and its sequel) that's heard when a lander kidnaps a human.
* ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max]]: Season 2'' (or "Beyond Time and Space" for you console owners) has Timmy Two-Teeth, whose dialogue is mostly bleeped out because he has "terminal [[HollywoodTourettes Tourettes Syndrome]]". In the Season Finale, ''What's New Beelzebub?'', you find [[spoiler: the bleeps are being produced by Hugh Bliss, who is working in [[TakeThat the FCC Department]] of Hell, and the "swear words" that Timmy was using were actually nice versions of swear words.]]
* In the original ''VideoGame/DarkForces'', when Kyle Katarn confronts a Dark Trooper for the first time, he reacts with "Ah, sh--" *sound of communicator static*
* ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' gives the option early on to use bleeps to censor out profanity for the reason of "It's Funnier Bleeped Out".
** Sounds a lot like what Music/OzzyOsbourne said about the censoring of The Osbournes. Fitting, seeing as he's in the game.
* The UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' has backstage chatter among the employees as it opens. One version has one of the staff complaining about something which is responded in kind with "KISS MY- (AIRHORN)" though the offender quickly apologizes.
* In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', Misae accidentally reveals her age and the game invokes this to censor it from the players for her.
* ''VideoGame/{{Blazblue}}'' makes use of these on occasion, usually with the sound of the various characters calling out their attacks. In one case this makes for a particularly hilarious scene where Kokonoe suggests ideas of where install a new weapon on the body of Iron Tager, considering his [[MemeticMutation "GIGANTIC TAGER"]] as an option.
* There are two bleeps in ''VideoGame/MondayNightCombat'' (which is censored to maintain a Teen rating), and each is a LampshadeHanging no less. One of the comments announcer Mickey Cantor may make at the start of a Crossfire match may be, "These Pros are ready to tear each other a new ''[bleep]''!" He'll then go on to either ask who said the offending word or just wonder if he's allowed to say the bleeped-out word on the air.
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' has the original GTA theme song on the LIPS 106 station, but "fucked on crack" is censored with "LIPS" and "don't fuck with me" is censored with "106".
** The UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto2'' had the song "Taxi Drivers (Must Die!)", by Bula Matari, censored with the sound of car horns.
* In ''VideoGame/CombatArms'', when you shoot a friendly, they sometimes say...
-->'''MALE''': "Watch your shot! F[BLEEP]CK!"\\
'''FEMALE''': "Watch your shot! "AS[BLEEEP]OLE!"
* In ''VideoGame/OddworldStrangersWrath'', at one point Stranger has to get a password in order to access the junkyard where Packrat Palooka is hiding out. Said password comes from someone that Packrat Palooka double-crossed, and they aren't too happy about it, leading to the password being ''nothing but'' a long series of beeps.
-->'''Stranger:''' Uh... did you just say *''Lengthy series of various beeps''*..?
* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' Ketteiban, during [[https://youtu.be/V_YEHdVwlQU?t=244 this]] cutscene, Incubus swears 3 times, each swear replaced with the beep and some animal roars. Apparently, whatever got beeped out was so obscene, Arle is blushing red as a result.
* ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal: Black'':
-->'''Man''': "Please, no! IHaveAFamily!"\\
'''Sweet Tooth''': "Shut up and ''bleed'', you mother-"*lightning*
* A Rabbids Facebook launch trailer on had the narrator [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLDr9_dUYfY&feature=channel&list=UL bleeped near the end.]]
--> Narator: It's a f***in' scream.
* ''VideoGame/DukeNukem: Zero Hour'' has a rare example of this for the series: "Time for the sh** to hit the fan!", mainly because of the still-active Nintendo CensorshipBureau.
* Whenever [[ShadowArchetype Mr. Scratch]]'s name is mentioned in the ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' games, static obscures it.
* Two examples in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'':
** During the fight with Medusa, she pulls an ISurrenderSuckers and tries to get you to gaze at her. Like in the previous game, allowing eye contact will petrify you, while giving her the side glance infuriates her over being humiliated the same way twice. But if you pick the [[TalkToTheFist last option...]]
---> '''Medusa:''' Gyaaaaaahhh! You really did it this time, you little bastard! Didn't your parents teach you any manners, you *bleep*!?
*** This was clearly intended for humor, as swears are left uncensored everywhere else in the game.
** Whenever the word "[[{{God}} YHVH]]" is spoken by the characters via voice acting, a strange record-scratch is played over it (or in the Japanese version, unearthly static). This may be more of an example of TheUnpronounceable, referring that the true name of God is not to be spoken.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', Ulala swears like a sailor. However, she very often has her words bleeped out. She's not the only one, however. At the same time though, this actually gets a lot of crap past the radar...
-->'''Stalker''': You're no different than me! I'm gonna *bleep* your *bleep* and *bleep* it!\\
'''Ulala''': Shut up you *bleep**bleep*! I'm gonna kick your scrawny a*bleep*! Piece of sh*bleep*!
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'': Both Claptrap and Mister Torgue have this in-universe, the former because he's a robot and it's easy to program into him, the latter because his backers got tired of hearing him throw [[ClusterFBomb cluster F-bombs]] at shareholder meetings and had a censor device surgically grafted onto his voice box.
* The ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' Foundry mission [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/StarTrekOnlineFoundryBaitAndSwitch "Bait and Switch"]] has a textual example:
--> '''Tactical Officer:''' ''(over a combadge)'' Skipper, don't worry about us; deal with your own--HA! GOT YOU, YOU UGLY SON OF A--\\
'''Narration:''' A burst of static washes out whatever your officer was going to say.
* ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'': If you read the chat logs in the ''Octo Expansion'', you'll eventually get a audio sample of [[spoiler:one of Pearl's live performances from her pre-Off the Hook career. Despite the fact that the track is sung in a completely made-up language, there's still a prolonged censor beep right near the end of the song]].
* ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'' uses loud static noise in place of homophobic slurs during dialogue, which can end up being as [[{{Jumpscare}} horrific as the word itself]]. Said sound effect can disappear if the player absorbs thoughts in the Thought Cabinet that makes you a bigot.
