no, and the few cases where a crumb is thrown just make it more obvious. Assassin's Creed has one or two outfits per game where male and female versions are the same, but all the rest especially the DLC is man in head-to-toe coverage, woman in miniskirt and boob armor. Baldur's Gate only just, a year after release, allowed mods on console for people who cracked the code to let men wear women's skimpy clothing, but even then it's not official, it's an amateur unpaid mod.

Shirtless man on his own isn't sexualized, if anything it's male power fantasy to be all chest and abs going into fights from manga to games. The thirst is up to the viewer to read into it, and there's far more disagreement over whether shirtless pec man bloodied and fighting is seen as sexy (given that he is almost never meant to be sexy).

I liked in AC Odyssey you could change the skin to any armor, so I had my Alexios wearing female armor.

I'm not sure if I necessarily agree with the latter part. I'm pretty sure the standard shirtless muscle guy is supposed to be sexy and badass in the sense that it is a male fantasy because at least part of the reason men want to be the guy is because he'd in theory be sexy to women.

"Meant to be sexy" and "being sexualized by the pov gaze" is different though, and I'd agree the "being sexualized" pov is rare
