* Being descended from a [[Licensed Game]] of ''Digital Devil Story'' (see literature) many games in the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' series includes variants of the Demon Summoning Program from the original novel.

** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'': Stephen was developing software for teleportation through technology, but one of his experiments opened to the Expanse and summoned a demon. After the incident, it inspired him to create a program that allows the user to communicate, contract, and summon demons as allies. The military and the Ring of Gaea learned of the application. However, Stephen emailed random people in hopes of stopping them. The protagonist got this email and installed it on his COMP.
** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]'' has the Demon Summoning Program that was distributed by an unknown source for the Red Sprite team. Despite the advanced technology of the Schwarzwelt Investigation Team, it couldn't be deciphered or cracked in its black boxes. It was installed into the crew's Demonicas to help the team survive the Schwarzwelt.
** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei IV]]'' and ''Apocalypse''
** ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' is one of the exceptions to the app being safer in adaptions than the original. This version gets widely distributed, forcing Tokyo into a lockdown as demons let loose by inept users and those controlled by criminal gangs overrun the city.
** ''[[Devil Survivor 2]]'' has the Demon Summoning App, where a person can make a contract and summon demons while also giving users magic. There is also the Nicaea β version, which shows a video of a user's death and their friends' demise.

It also has a hidden Metaverse Navigator function that can take unsuspecting people to transport them to a Jail (A place similar to Palaces where individuals' hearts are stolen)
** ''[[SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Liberation: Dx2]]'' has Devil Download that mysteriously downloads onto their phones. It allows them to summon Demons along with other supernatural functions.
* ''[[Tokyo Afterschool Summoners]]'' has the SUMMONS app, which gives a user the power to summon another being from another world. It can also grant divine equipment called Sacred Artifacts to the user or the summoned person.
* ''Ingress'' is an [[Augmented Reality Game]] where two factions: the Resistance and the Enlightened, fight over the transdimensional energy called Exotic Matter or XM.
