The transgender character creator, as it was billed, might have let you slap a penis onto a woman, but pronouns were tied to voice, a they/them option did not exist, there was no attempt to let you play as a trans person beyond the initial creation, and romance (more on that later) was a mess. Clearly the final touches on this game were either rushed or skipped over because of the much-discussed (and much delayed) launch date, but I’m not convinced the game would have ever done right by queer players.
It should be no surprise that Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t showcase its own characters with quite so much finesse.
