LGBTQ Games Coming Out in 2021

If you’re like us, you’re probably desperate to find out just which games you can be gay in, or are LGBTQ friendly in terms of narrative and representation. Thanks to much sleuthing on our part, we have a solid list of LGBTQ games coming out in 2021, and we’re keen to share!

We should state that this isn’t a completed list by any means, nor is it a list that will always have ‘positive’ representation. We will even have missed a few games out, but we’re counting on you, our lovely readers and developers, to let us know if we’ve missed out on anything – email us at hello@gaymingmag.com and aimee@gaymingmag.com. We want to help fellow gaymers find games that let them be authentic and comfortable, after all.

These LGBTQ games coming out in 2021 will be be categorized by month of release, or if a date hasn’t been issued, will be under the category TBD. If any game is delayed and/or cancelled, we will also update this list to show that.
