- A 2022 play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead) is an irreverent and absurd one-act in which Rosencrantz and Guildenstern realize they are characters in a meta-play written by Tom Stoppard. Subsequently he realizes that he is a character in a meta-meta-play written by Etai Shuchatowitz.[29]
- The 2004 Disney direct-to-video film The Lion King 1½ shares many features of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, being a re-telling of the original 1994 film The Lion King (itself based largely on the plot of Hamlet) from the perspective of the characters Timon and Pumbaa and occasionally featuring major characters and plot points from the original film.
- The 1999 video game Half-Life: Opposing Force was inspired by the play, as stated by one of the lead developers. It is an expansion pack to the original Half-Life that retells the events from the perspective of a different character, Adrian Shepherd, that features events and plot points from the original game.[30]
