A fan disc is usually released by a game company after the successful launch of a game. The content adds new images, music and other media and usually extends the game's time line by adding in a new shorter game, however they are not considered true sequels. The creation of a fan disc usually signals the end of a series.

Eroge visual novels such as Popotan are good examples of games that usually get fan discs. Sometimes a fan disc is made as a compilation of the two separate, but similar games to link them (the Come See Me Tonight series is an example).

These extensions are generally not translated. There have been no known commerical translations and only a few fan-translated attempts, such as Tsukihime's PLUS-disc translation by Mirror Moon.
