 *In the fantasy role-playing game ''Baldur's Gate 3'', the player character's identity can be set as "Male", "Female", or "Non-Binary/Other". The "Identity" selection is not at all linked to the selection for body type or voice.
 *Similar to the ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons'' example above, ''Splatoon 3'' has the players select their avatars' "style" (encompassing both gender and species). 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". Gendered titles used in previous games have also been revised to be gender-neutral, such as "Splatfest Ruler" in place of "Splatfest King/Queen".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Splatoon 3 - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch |author=Nintendo |work=YouTube |access-date=22 October 2021 |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUYDXVDLmns|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230628053226/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUYDXVDLmns |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref><ref>https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Player_customization [https://web.archive.org/web/20230501222323/https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Player_customization Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>

All of the options for the avatar's voice are available to avatars of either body type, and all clothing can be equipped regardless of body type and gender. The player can change their avatar's appearance and pronouns at will by visiting a beauty salon in World Tour.
