assassin’s creed: odyssey

in this game, you can either play as kassandra or alexios. to my knowledge, if you play as kassandra, you can romance kyra, which would make her sapphic (i’m not exactly sure what her sexuality is, but she would fall under sapphic)

grand theft auto 5

the game features trevor philips as a playable character/protagonist. although it’s not confirmed, it’s hinted in the game that he’s bisexual ++
based on his actions and optional conversations where he’s asked if he’s gay, and he answers “that’s what i am; whatever makes me happy”

there’s also some scenes where he’s seen spooning a male character, but this could just be his personality
red dead redemption 2
-
bill williamson is hinted to be gay throughout the game. in one conversation, hosea can be found saying “that’s like arthur and martha. or bill and phil”
you can also read one of his military discharge papers, which says he was discharged for “deviancy” ++
which back then, being gay was considered an act of deviancy.

arthur also jokes when bill bumps into someone in a bar “is he about to kiss this guy or punch him?”

also during the game, he seems to have a crush on someone at the camp. you’ll have to play to learn more 😉
that’s about all i have for now! feel free to add more that i forgot about or fix some mistakes i made!
