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.

Need for Speed: Shift

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

Stub - This article section needs expanding with relevant information.

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.

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).
