* ''VideoGame/EyeOfTheBeholder'':
** The ''flesh to stone'' spell can turn monsters into statues, that can then be broken with just one hit. The visual effect for such isn't very polished, though, the affected monsters just becoming grey silhouettes with no details. (And flying monsters even keep floating in the air.)
** Being turned to stone is also a possible status effect inflicted by monsters such as basiliks and medusas. A party member can be returned to normal with a ''stone to flesh'' spell, or with pouches of magical powder having the same effect (handy if the group isn't of high level enough to cast the spell).

* In ''[[VideoGame/TheFlintstones1993 The Flintstones]]'' LicensedGame for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, the sixth and final level, [[UndergroundLevel Hard Rock]] involves the family of a dragon being turned to stone by a Cave Witch, who serves as the game's FinalBoss. Once Fred defeats the Cave Witch, he must collect her hat to break the spell and save the dragon's family.

* ''VideoGame/MagiNation'': The LicensedGame for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor had the BigBad Agram turn anyone who opposed him into stone, including most people from The Underneath and Arderial, plus a few dozen magi from about a hundred years ago who fought him. Reversed after his death, but everyone who was petrified remained conscious for all those years. A short story from the website was from the point of view of one such magi who spent what felt like eternity staring at the same spot in the room because he couldn't move his petrified eyes.

* In ''VideoGame/TweetyAndTheMagicGems'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance, Tweety opens [[SealedEvilInACan a box filled with bad forest magic]] that slowly turns him to stone, and the only way to reverse the curse is if one of his ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' co-stars (WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, [[WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird Sylvester]], WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam, or Marc Antony) collects the power of the five magic gems [[TimedMission before Tweety is completely turned to stone]].

* Happens during the battle with [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Cala]] {{M|edusa}}aria in ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}''. In her gorgon form, she can fire out a huge beam that'll turn our heroes Cuphead and Mugman into stone (complete with their empty eye sockets), which will put them in danger of getting hit by a real bullet if they're not [[SmashingSurvival quick to break out of their stoned forms]]. This eventually gets turned on her in her second-to-third phase transition, where her whole body (sans her head) turns to stone and crumbles into the ocean, forcing her to detach her own head and continue battling the boys. In simple difficulty, her entire body becomes completely petrified after her defeat.

* This is how the main character dies in ''VideoGame/{{Gylt}}'', regardless of whether it was by monsters, electrocution or hot steam from a vent. It's also the fate of many of the townspeople, who can be found as statues. Still-breathing statues.

** In the "Petrified Mystery" case, the player finds a Gorgon Camera, an artifact that can turn anything it takes a picture of into stone, including people. The Sculptress Olivia confesses that she had used the camera to petrify her friend Sophia after an argument, and later offers to reverse the effect on herself.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' splits curse and petrification into separate effects (curse now being nonlethal but reducing maximum HP slightly just as dying would in this game, and petrification being instant death), as well as adding various already-petrified individuals that can be revived using a Fragrant Branch of Yore. A couple of them turn out to be helpful characters; the rest are just enemies who will attack you once revived.

* ''VideoGame/WitchHunterIzana'': One of the infection types enemies can inflict. Arguably the most dangerous as it takes 5 infection ticks instead of five infection ticks and another hit. There is a course a bad end if the entire party is petrified.
