TG Supply

There are more trans characters in video games than there used to be, and we love to see it. Trans-male characters, though, are still pretty rare in games and media. Still, a few games have made the effort to include them.

So here's a handful of video games with trans-male characters. You'll find action-adventure games, role-playing games, and a dating sim or two. Each one handles representation its own way. They're fun to play, and they give Trans men, Trans Masc and Non-Binary folks a chance to see themselves in a medium they love.

1. Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator

First up, we have Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. This game is all about romance and dating other dads, and one of the options for romance is Damien, a trans-male character. It's awesome to see trans representation in a dating sim, and the game is praised for its diverse cast of characters and representation of LGBTQ+ individuals.

2. The Last of Us Part II

This post-apocalyptic action-adventure game has a trans-male character named Lev. Even though Lev's trans identity is not the main focus of the game, it's still acknowledged and respected by the other characters, which is great to see.

3. Dragon Age: Inquisition

Dragon Age: Inquisition is another role-playing game where players can create their own character and recruit other characters to join their party. One of the characters that can be recruited is Cremisius "Krem" Aclassi, a trans-male character. He's a strong and skilled warrior, and the game treats his trans identity with respect and without discrimination.

4. Night in the Woods

Night in the Woods is a game all about friendship and coming of age. One of the characters you meet is Angus, a trans-male character, who is a kind and caring person. The game explores his struggles with acceptance from his family and community. It's great to see a game that deals with themes of mental health and friendship and has a trans character as a main character.

5. Assassin's Creed: Syndicate

Ned Wynert is a character in the video game "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate." He is a criminal underworld figure and a quest giver for the game's protagonists, Jacob and Evie Frye. Wynert gives the Frye siblings missions in exchange for information and resources. Those help them with their bigger goal: taking control of the criminal underworld in Victorian London. Despite his criminal dealings, Wynert presents himself as a charismatic and affable figure. Ned is the first trans character in the Assassin's Creed series.

6. Far Cry 6

Another great example of a video game that includes a trans-male character is Far Cry 6. In this first-person shooter game, you play as a freedom fighter who is trying to overthrow a dictator in a fictional island called Yara. One of the characters that you meet is Paulo, a trans-male character who is a member of the resistance. Paulo is a skilled fighter and a valuable ally, and his trans identity is acknowledged and respected by the other characters.

7. Tell Me Why

Last but not least, Tell Me Why is a narrative adventure game where you play as Tyler, a trans-male character, and his twin sister Alyson. The game explores the siblings' past and their relationship with each other, and deals with themes of family, memory, and identity. It's praised for its representation of trans people and its careful handling of the subject. It's great to see a game that centers on a trans-male character. Tyler’s character is voiced by transman, August Aiden Black

It's exciting to see more and more video games include trans-male characters. These games show that trans people are just as complex as anyone else. And it's great to see trans-male characters front and center, instead of always off to the side. If you haven't had the chance to play any of these games yet, I highly recommend checking them out!
