Haircuts and pants, which previously were gender-restricted, are now unisex, and most pieces of equipment whose appearance differed based on the character's gender have been split into separate pieces wearable regardless of "style".

*In the science fiction role-playing game ''Starfield,'' the player can choose which pronouns to use from "He/Him", "She/Her", and "They/Them". Characters in game will use the selected pronouns when referring to the player character. The player character can choose between two body types (1 and 2) regardless of pronouns, as well as two different walking animations, and all character creation options are available for both body types. Players can visit "Enhance" clinics in-game, where they can change the player character's appearance, name, and pronouns. <ref>{{Cite news|last=Game8|first=Starfield Walkthrough Team|url=https://game8.co/games/Starfield/archives/423228|title=How to Change and Select Pronouns|date=09/05/2023|work=Starfield|access-date=9/14/2023|url-status=live}}</ref>
