Patamon is one of the original Digimon that players can befriend in Digimon Survive, the newest JRPG-style Digimon game in the series. Digimon Survive follows Takuma Momozuka and his partner and fellow Digimon original Agumon as they find themselves in an alternate world inhabited by Digimon. Patamon, like other Digimon that are encountered in the game, can be befriended during an encounter.

Patamon is one of the Digimon that players can earn by befriending them in conversation, though it will be harder to find it in the wild. While Patamon may be encountered early in the game, its more likely that it will appear after Part 3 in a Free Battle. Once Patamon appears, players who want to befriend them will need to have a conversation with it; Digimon have different personalities, so knowing how to answer Patamon's questions will make it easier to befriend.
