List of banned video games in Australia

Below is a list and summary of notable video games that have been refused classification (banned) within Australia.

A work deemed too inappropriate by the ACB may be Refused Classification (RC), banning it from being sold at retail, and placing the work on the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service list of prohibited items.

It is, however, legal to possess RC games (except in Western Australia and prescribed areas of the Northern Territory).

Games in this list with a current classification are available for purchase in a censored or altered form.

Following a review by the Australian Classification Review Board in April 2022, its drug use was found to be justified by context, as "the game mechanic ultimately provides disincentives related to drug-taking behaviour, to the point where regular drug use leads to negative consequences such as overdose, addiction, and withdrawal", and was subsequently re-classified R 18+.
