* All of the 3D ''Videogame/GrandTheftAuto'' games as well as a few other titles developed by Rockstar. It also does its logical counterpart, the Automatic Continue Game; if save-files ''are'' found, it will automatically load the latest one. This can get highly annoying if you have multiple different saves and will always have to endure an extra LoadingScreen before being allowed to choose which one you actually wanted to load. This is averted with the PC version and the mobile version of all the games, which loads into a menu screen instead, except if the launcher to the PC version of GTA V is bypassed (such as the cracked version).

* ''[[VideoGame/Forza Forza Motorsport]] 3'' through ''6'', and all 4 releases of ''Forza Horizon'' immediately drop you into a new game after the title screen if you don't already have a save file.

** ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert Red Alert]]'' does have a title sequence, but if this was the first time playing the game, it immediately puts the player into the Soviet campaign with its opening cutscene.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' and ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV V]]'', and all other 3D GTA games do this as well as a few other titles developed by Rockstar.

A VideoGame which, the first time the player starts up the game, skips past the title screen or menu that the game will eventually display on every subsequent boot-up, and goes straight into the game itself.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' and ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV V]]'', as well as a few other titles developed by Rockstar, do this. It also does its logical counterpart, the Automatic Continue Game; if save-files ''are'' found, it will automatically load the latest one. This can get highly annoying if you have multiple different saves and will always have to endure an extra LoadingScreen before being allowed to choose which one you actually wanted to load.

* ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry: Love for Sail!'' does this if there is no previous save file present, throwing you straight into the intro.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV to]] ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI VI]]'' for the SuperNintendo do this if there are no save files present, jumping you straight into the opening cutscene.

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' and its sequel start by prompting the player to name the character, before proceeding into a New Game.

* The later ''Franchise/JamesBond'' games developed by ElectronicArts do this to mirror the tradition of a before-credits action sequence.

* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' gives you the option to turn on the subtitles then throws you straight into the intro. Bypassing even the title screen!

* When ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' is booted for the first time, it throws the player into a stage, but there are no enemies or hazards aside from some rival ink. The game will offer a tutorial during this stage and, once it's completed and the player reaches the end, he or she will arrive to Inkopolis, where the game will always start with all subsequent boots. Since the game only allows one save file per user ID, the protocol has to be repeated for all following ones when the game is first booted with them.

* ''VideoGame/WiiSportsResort'' selects one of the player's Miis and places him directly into the Skydiving event before unveiling its title screen the first time.

* ''Mini Metro'' immediately dumps you into a new game with stations to connect when you load it up for the first time. On subsequent plays you'll be given the title screen instead.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' immediately jumps into the beginning animated cutscene and shows you the two protagonists Jude and Milla, if no savefile is found on the console. Taken further when the game doesn't get a 'proper' Title Menu, until the player has decided which route they'll play and have seen the respective route's opening.
