Cult Jump (GB)
Josuke appears as one of the ten characters from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise to appear in the game Cult Jump.

Jump Ultimate Stars (DS)
Josuke appears as a support and help character. In his 2-Koma support, Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to heal the character that it punches and in his 3-Koma support he uses his Stand to rapidly punch the opponent as Crazy Diamond cries out "DORARARA!". His help Koma makes the duration of negative status effects (such as poison, blinding and burning) shorter. He has an ally boost with Jotaro.

GioGio's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind (PS2)
Josuke makes a brief appareance in the game's introduction as an image behind Giorno (along with Part IV Jotaro, Part III Joseph, and Jonathan), appearing as Koichi remarks that Giorno has a kindness similar to those of the Joestar bloodline.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle (PS3)
Josuke appears a playable character in the PS3 game, and was confirmed along with Okuyasu, Jolyne and Hermes. Josuke is a powerful and easy-to-use character. Much like Jotaro, many of his attacks include the famous "DORARARA!", but Josuke can use them in a variety of ways.

One of his attacks makes him rush into the opponent's direction as Crazy Diamond beats them with blazing fists by ending with a low punch attack. Josuke can also use Crazy Diamond to hit rapidly hit the ground multiple times (damaging enemy in the process if they're close enough), and with follow-up input, Josuke can quickly travel to the point where Crazy Diamond dug up the ground. Crazy Diamond can shoot either a rifle bullet or a glass shard towards the enemy (depending on input). Josuke's "DORARARA!" can be used in two different ways (normal and as a "throw" style of attack with animation), and can use Crazy Diamond to create a rock barrier to both attack and protect him (similar to how he defended himself and Okuyasu from Killer Queen's contact air bombs). Among his moveset is a special counter where the opponent makes an insult/comment about Josuke's hair which causes him to go into a rage, making his hair stand on end and gaining an attack, defense, and speed boost as well unflinching, but forces the Josuke player to be moving constantly towards his opponent for a certain period of time.

His HHA has Crazy Diamond punching his opponent with a "DORARARA!" barrage, ending with an uppercut that sends them flying. By spending about an extra half of a bar of his Heart Heat Gauge, Josuke can add a supplementary attack to the move, replacing the uppercut with Crazy Diamond distancing itself and shooting a shard of broken glass at the opponent that boomerangs back through them, dealing more damage.

His GHA has Crazy Diamond blow the opponent back, before Josuke decides to heal them to their maximum health (this is purely visually cosmetic) to "make the fight fair" as he sends Crazy Diamond to unleash an extremely powerful "DORARARA!" barrage, ending with an uppercut that brings the opponent's health back down to their true health plus the normal GHA damage taken (similar to how he defeated Yuuya Fungami).

Josuke also possesses alternate costumes, most of them are taken from the artbooks such as JOJO-A-GOGO and JOJO 6251. Besides the entire cast from Part IV, Josuke also possesses special dialogues before a match against Jotaro and Old Joseph (in both cases he asks both if it's really them, since Josuke recognizes them but notices that they look much younger, while Part III Jotaro and Joseph don't recognize Josuke).

Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)
Josuke was one of the first confirmed characters for the game (alongside Part II Joseph, Caesar, Stroheim, Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Diego).

Since most of the game's animation, effects and attacks were reused from All-Star Battle, Josuke's moveset remains the same. His only new move allow's him to use the rock barrier to trap and hold the opponent for a while.

With Okuyasu, they both can perform a unique DHA where Okuyasu has The Hand bring their opponent closer by eliminating a wide space in front of them, leaving them staggered. Both Josuke and Okuyasu interject before Crazy Diamond and The Hand pummel their target before a joint uppercut that sends them high into the air, with the two of them yelling in unison.

Tournament
He is paired with Johnny Joestar in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by Old Joseph and Kira.

Trivia

 * As of Steel Ball Run, Josuke is Araki's favorite JoJo. He explains that because of the general everyday neighborhood setting of Diamond Is Unbreakable, he felt more attached to Josuke, and considered him somewhat like a friend or a senior. In contrast, Jotaro was "more of someone you would admire as a hero".
 * Japanese fans sometimes refer to Part 4 with "hamburger patty", referring to the appearance of Josuke's hairstyle.
 * Josuke's surname, Higashikata, is written using the same kanji as Touhou (東方). The video game series sharing the same name has been known to reference the series frequently; the creator ZUN himself is a fan.
