Online Games are games on HeroFactory.com and other sites like the YTV Microsite and the Toys "R" Us Hong Kong Microsite that were released every year. Many of the games are where you could save your progress by using your LEGO.com account. All games are non-canon for the most part. Throughout the Hero Factory franchise's history, the early games became unavailable, and when the franchise got canceled, the other games also became unavailable.

Starting in 2012, The LEGO Group began publishing Hero Factory apps for mobile devices. There were four mobile apps, which were free to buy. Three of them are versions of three of the major online games. All of the mobile apps are taken out of the iTunes after Hero Factory was canceled.
