* Batman as ''implied'' in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' in a conversation with Alfred, once again in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Harley Quinn's Revenge'' DLC from Robin's point of view and ''very much'' (although still only ''implied'') in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight''. Anyway, the Mission and protecting Gotham always come first.

* ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'':
** In ''Tekken 7'', Jin Kazama has become this. After instigating World War III through countless atrocities and [[AllForNothing still failing to remove the Devil Gene from the world,]] he feels he deserves to die for everything he's done. When beaten in a fight by Miguel Rojo ([[YouKilledMyFather whose sister was killed in an air raid he ordered]]), he asks just to be killed, though Miguel lets him live for the time because his revenge will only be satisfying if Jin is filled with hope.

* Jodie Holmes in ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls''. She can attempt suicide in two different chapters, much to Aiden's chagrin, and when awakening from a coma she screams at Aiden [[TogetherInDeath to let her stay with him instead]]. The further the story progresses, the less she seems to care about whether she lives or dies as long as those she holds dear survive. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, she is faced with the choice of whether to enter the Beyond and reunite with those she has lost, including Aiden, or return to life without him. The Beyond option is especially poignant if all of the determinant characters are still alive, as it can be interpreted as a sign of just how tired of living Jodie has become.]]

* In ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', the [[SerialKiller Origami Killer]] puts the fathers of his victims through a SecretTestOfCharacter in which they have the opportunity to rescue their sons and kill him in the process. He does this because [[spoiler:his own [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] let his brother die, and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds all he wants in life is proof that he was the exception to the rule]]. However, if Ethan doesn't arrive alone to the final confrontation Scott is incensed at having Ethan's victory be tainted by outside help and [[HeKnowsTooMuch tries to kill them all and start over]]]].

* In ''VideoGame/{{Oneshot}}'', [[spoiler:the Entity / World Machine]] is one, according to the translated journal, and attempts to achieve this by [[spoiler:tricking the player into smashing the lightbulb,]] thus ensuring the absolute end of the world. The real reason for this is that [[spoiler:due to the [[ThreeLawsCompliant 3 laws of robotics]], the Entity views Niko as the only living being placed within a world that's not real, and thus threatens their safety. Additionally, the lightbulb is the only thing that links Niko to the world, and the Entity does not view itself as a tamed being (therefore believing they're not a real living being themselves) and that if they continue to exist, Niko would come to harm due to the square glitches destroying the world, which is why they want to end themselves through breaking the lightbulb so that Niko can return home.]] [[spoiler:Niko founds out that there was a different intended ending to their journey, where they would supposedly return home after putting the lightbulb back on top of the Tower, and is able to convince the Entity that they're a tamed being. After the Entity is able to fix the intended ending, not only the lightbulb lights up the world again, but it also fixes the world of its damages brought the square glitches that appeared.]]

* ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'': An in-game mechanic is that characters with certain afflictions will SelfHarm out of masochism or [[DespairEventHorizon to ensure to die faster]] while goading the monsters into attacking them. For a more straight example, the [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Abomination]] and the [[WarriorPoet Leper]] are two of the most willing to face [[spoiler:the Heart of Darkness' OneHitKill]] if chosen for this reason. The Flagellant, meanwhile, will outright beg you to let him die to the final boss.
