How to change the game language on PlayStation 5? How to switch a PS5 game to English and download additional language packs? This is a question that one or two owners of the new Sony console will probably ask themselves, who would prefer to play certain games in English instead of German. In this article, we have described two methods on how to set the game language on PS5.
Change language in game settings
Depending on which game it is, you can usually set the game language in the game settings. For this reason, you should first look for a language setting in the game’s settings. As soon as you have changed the language in the settings, the language pack is usually downloaded and installed automatically in the background (if necessary at all).
Switch PS5 game to English
If the game does not offer a setting option for the game language in the options or settings and you cannot switch the PS5 game to English, then there is another method that some people have probably already used from its predecessor in the form of PlayStation 4 knows. To change the language in a game that doesn’t offer a setting option, you have to change the system language on the PlayStation 5. The language setting is then usually applied to the game.
- Start PlayStation 5 and wait until the main menu loads (if it hasn’t already).
- In the settings under “System” and “Language” change the “console language” from “German” to “English” or another language.
- If you have started the PS5 game in the background, you have to close the game once and restart it so that the language is changed.
