Abstract
Gender representation is an oft-discussed topic in game studies literature, but “gender representation” tends to mean “female representation”. Many discussions of gender in game studies lack the nuance of queer gender identities that lay beyond a binary notion of gender. This literature review seeks to analyze the state of nonbinary gender representation in video games, looking at both characters and avatar creation screens, to find scholarship about queer gender identities, as well as games that are gender-inclusive. Ultimately, the video game industry has a long way to go to break beyond the binary of gender stereotypesthat it has become known for.
