If we would just play games that feature trans characters, that would be a fairly short list because our representation in media is just really, really shit. FNV doesn't have trans representation, but it's still a popular title in parts of the community, in the same way many neurodivergent trans folks love games like Factorio, Transport Fever2, HOI4 etc. It's just the stuff that somebody will stream if you hang out in the VC of a trans discord long enough.
I can think of a bunch of games that are popular with trans people partially because they feature trans characters and / or were made by trans people, such as Guilty Gear, Undertale, Deltarune, Heaven Will Be Mine, Super Lesbian Animal RPG, Of the Devil, and of course Celeste. But as much as i love them, you can't build a library out of these.
So a lot of games that are widely enjoyed in the community are games that overlap with other traits that are overrepresented in trans communities, such as lesbianism or being a terminally online neurodivergent person. Most trans women i know love Silksong, Hades 2 or Signalis, simply because that goes for a lot of queer women that are active on tumblr. When i say "this game is trans canon", it does not mean it's a game about transness, it means that a lot of trans people like this game.
