Games Featuring Transgender Characters
Inclusive of nonbinary/gender neutral characters. Please be aware that not all of these games will feature positive depictions of trans people and that some notes may contain spoilers.
If you know of a game not listed, please mention it to me!
** I choose not to include characters who are considered intersex, since not all intersex people consider themselves transgender. Exceptions are only made if the character is stated or considered to be intersex as well as transgender.
** I also choose not to include the titles Hogwarts Legacy and The Last of Us: Part II. While these games do have trans characters in them, due to the fact that JKR (who I am aware was not directly involved, though I still feel that giving the game any positive attention would still benefit her) and Neil Druckmann are enormous bigots who have their bigoted views written directly into the stories of their creations, and that they have both used money they've made off their IPs to fund harmful charities, I do not believe either of these people should be supported, monetarily or otherwise. I am not changing my mind about this and anyone who attempts to argue with me will be ignored, you are just wasting time for us both. Create your own list if this bothers you.

A substory involves an NPC named Ayaka, who is a trans woman. Talking to her at the Bantam bar will involve her asking for Kiryu's advice on how to ask out a man she is romantically interested in, eventually confessing to Kiryu about her birth assignment. She goes on into explaining her transition and how she underwent gender reassignment surgery, which is why she was unsure whether to ask out to the guy she likes since she worries about how he'll react. Kiryu is initially surprised by this, and you have the option of saying it's a bit difficult to come to terms with, but he is overall supportive of Ayaka, telling her while he can't say how the guy will react, if it goes badly it's not her fault.
A note from the comments: This substory is only in the original Japanese version of the game, it was cut from the original PS3 localization, but kept in the remaster. Another transphobic substory was included in the original PS3 version of the game where a trans woman chases down Kiryu, but this was removed from the remastered version.

There is a trans woman character that you can help choose a name for from a list of choices. As further described in the article "The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood welcomes ALL women, and that rules" by Ty Galiz-Rowe from Gaymingmag.com:
"The new witch comes to visit Fortuna on the recommendation of her friend Dahlia. She hasn’t started her physical transition at all yet, and hadn’t come out in her mortal life. But neither of those facts matter; this Witch is a woman, and women can Ascend.
Fortuna doesn’t belabor this point or really react to the new witch being trans. Instead, she uses the new divination deck she’s created with the help of a powerful forbidden entity to help her new sister figure out who she wants to be as a Witch. The reading is focused on who the younger witch aspires to be, what she hopes for, and how she can feel most comfortable. There are a few different ways you can steer it as the player, since you’re the one choosing each reading, but the process still feels very centered around her. [...] Everyone in the coven is very welcoming to the newest addition as well."

Heaven Will Be Mine also has Mercury! (trans man, revealed in backlogs referencing HRT and misgendering) https://hwbm.fandom.com/wiki/Mercury#Background
@sazandorable Thank you, I've updated the note to reflect this!
In Slay the Spire, the Defect (one of the four playable characters) is referred to with it/its. I believe it is canonically genderless but not 100% on an official source on that.
