Need for Speed: ProStreet[]
The 1969 Charger R/T appears in Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 2 vehicle with a $30,000 price tag.
It boasts powerful acceleration and excels at performing burnouts due to a torquey V8 engine. Because of a high weight, the Charger R/T has a sluggish steering feel around corners. It is best utilised in Drag mode although when fully upgraded, it becomes prone to performing wheelies, if given too much grip during a burnout.
Grip (Bonus)[]
There is tier 2 bonus Grip car that can be driven in Quick Race.
Drag (Bonus)[]
There is a tier 3 bonus Drag car that can be driven in Quick Race.

Need for Speed: Shift[]
The 1969 Charger R/T appears in the downloadable Team Racing Pack for Need for Speed: Shift. It is a tier 2 vehicle with a car rating of 5.10.
Quick acceleration and a decent top speed allow the Charger R/T to have good straight-line performance. However, it can easily spin out in corners as a consequence of its high weight.
Need for Speed: Nitro[]
The 1969 Charger R/T appears in Need for Speed: Nitro as a class B car and costs $35,000. It is rated 2 in speed and acceleration; 1 in handling; 3 in drifting; and 4 in strength. It can be seen in the game's cover art, outfitted with a turbocharger.
Thiago, the top racer in Rio de Janeiro, drives a Charger R/T in all of the location's Silver Cup race events except for the Drift Challenge, Time Attack, and Speed Trap events. In addition, Thiago's Charger R/T can also be seen in his profile video, the game's opening video, and all tutorial videos. Except the gameplay shots in all the tutorial videos, his Charger R/T is not equipped with a supercharger.

Need for Speed: World[]
The 1969 Charger R/T was made available in Need for Speed: World on July 27, 2010 as a tier 1 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as an E class vehicle.
The standard Charger R/T has a 188 overall rating and is currently retired from the car dealer.
In contrast to previous title appearances, the Charger R/T has poor acceleration coupled with stiff handling, causing the vehicle to understeer in corners and preventing it from compensating its cornering capabilities. It has a slightly stronger nitrous boost than the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T at the expense of a lower top speed of 119 mph (195 km/h).
