Video games and LGBTQ people have a complicated relationship. Many gay games for mobile have pushed against stereotypes, while others have stayed far away from them. But there are a few that have made a big impact on gay gamers. From Life is Strange's canonically bisexual protagonist to the thorny politics of Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, these phone gay games mobile have shown a willingness to take risks with their gay stories.

Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 2 is a game where characters grow and change over time. Its world, based around the city of Kirkwall, heaves and transforms as your friends get jobs and romances and fight for the rights of qunari and mage refugees.

The sequel's first main event was Dorian, a man from the Lothering mage circles who refuses to play along with the veneer of perfection that his family puts on for appearances. He faces rejection and even attempted murder over his sexuality, which is why Dragon Age writer David Gaider - a gay man - delighted queer fans by declaring Dorian the franchise's first "fully gay" character.

The dialogue is also a joy, with improved facial animations that make it easier to tell whether your character is flirting or just being a jerk. The dialogue wheel has indicators to show you what's happening, but it's more important that your mates emote with the passion of their convictions.

Life is Strange
In a mobile gay game that centers around time travel, 2015's Life is Strange tackled issues that most of its peers either ignored or didn't dare explore. Despite being a teen game, it examined the emotional struggles of two young women in ways other phone gay games were too scared to do.

Oregon teen Max Caulfield's ability to rewind time gives her an ally and potentially more in childhood friend Chloe Price. Though it's never overtly stated, the relationship between the girls can be read as queer. Last year's follow-up, Before the Storm, makes this explicit and further entwines the pair's relationship with an equally strained but much more explicit love interest in Steph.

While Dream Daddy isn't the most traditional video gay mobile game for phone, it still got a ton of attention this year with its irreverent dating simulation that allows players to pick their own hot single gay dad.

Best gay games for mobile phones

Celeste
One of the most iconic phone gay mobile games, Celeste's incredible platforming and innumerable secrets are still being discovered six years after its release. The mobile gay sex game combines masterful level design and challenging gameplay with an emotionally genuine story about the titular Madeline, who climbs Mt. Celeste in an attempt to overcome her anxiety and depression.

The pixel art is simple and the gay mobile game's soundtrack eschews the typical chiptune sound, but what truly separates Celeste from its competitors is its heartfelt narrative. It's filled with likable characters, from a cackling hermit to a nosey hiker, and it explores the mental landscape of its protagonist, from her anxiety to her depression. Although the phone gay game on mobile only explicitly references Madeline's transgender identity in its final moments, it is a powerful and moving LGBTQ-inclusive experience.

Grand Theft Auto: Gay Tony
Continuing on with Rockstar's excellent GTA franchise the latest add-on has players control Luis Lopez, the bodyguard and business partner of Gay Tony, owner of Liberty City's hottest nightclubs Hercules and Maisonette 9. Together they fight back against debt collectors and a slew of Photoshopped tabloid photos and sleazy rumors that have started to damage their reputation.

Like its predecessor The Lost and Damned, this new downloadable content introduces a host of new features, including mission scoring and mission replay. This gay mobile game also offers bigger and more outlandish weapons including a rocket-spewing helicopter that is a blast to pilot. Plus, there are 15 base jumping missions to tackle which provide a welcome break from the grind of street gangs and car chases. The Ballad of Gay Tony is an exuberant send-off for Rockstar's virtual metropolis.

Read Only Memories
In a genre that can be heavy on low-life and high-tech, Read Only Memories takes a different approach to its themes. This remastered edition of the cyberpunk point-and-click adventure mobile gay game for phones adds new voice acting by Telltale veterans and popular online creators, and even minor characters get their own dramatic weight. This makes for a phone gay game that feels like a mixture of pulp noir and Saturday morning cartoon, where characters who are not part of the gender binary are not treated as anomalies, and the world in which they live is not presented from a one-sided view.

In the real world of Read Only Memories, bearded women and agender robots coexist without comment, and the mobile phone gay game even asks the player to choose their preferred pronouns. It is a welcome step forward in the way that games can represent non-binary identities.
