* Dead characters in ''[[EveEVE Online]]'' automatically download into clone bodies.
* Cait Sith in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' pulls this once, although it's unknown how many other bodies (if any) he has available.
* The player-characters of ''[[Borderlands]]'' possess immortality through the New-U stations (save checkpoints) they come across. If they do take too much damage and subsequently bleed out, they are simply cloned and deposited back at the last New-U station they passed. For a fee.
* VitaStations serve a similar function for the protagonists of ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' and the sequel.
** And in ''[[System Shock]]'', the series to which ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' is a [[Spiritual Successor]], each level had a machine that would revive you once you've hacked/reset it. (Before that, dying on that level gets you turned into yet another cyborg zombie.)
* Yes Man in ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' is the king of this trope. Every time the player character kills him, he is just uploaded in another robot. This could go forever, making him one of the few immortal characters in the game. The same also goes for Victor, at least until you reach Vegas.
* [[Big Bad|Kane]] dies [[Once an Episode|in each game]] of the Tiberium timeline of the ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' games. ''Tiberian Twilight'' confirms that Kane is in fact {{spoiler|an extraterrestrial being in human form, and resurrects via cloning devices like those shown at the end of ''Firestorm.''}}
