Overwatch 2: Changing language on consoles
On PS5, you can’t change the in-game language settings directly. Instead, you need to modify your console’s language settings to change the language in Overwatch 2.
PS5
PlayStation 5 users should go to the Settings menu on their console, then navigate to System > Language to adjust the in-game language. Keep in mind that not all languages are supported by Overwatch 2, so the options may vary.
Xbox
For Xbox users, head to the Settings menu and select System > Language and Location. In this menu, you can change your language, location, and regional language settings. After making your changes, launch Overwatch 2.
Nintendo Switch
To change the language on your Nintendo Switch, navigate to Settings > System and select your preferred language.
On PC, you can have English text while using non-English voiceovers. However, when you change the language on a console, both the text and voice will be affected. If you struggle to read the new language on your console, switching back to English might be difficult, so make sure you know how to revert the settings if needed.
