Overwatch 2: How to Change Language on Consoles

On PS5, it is not possible to change the in-game language settings. Instead, you have to change your console language settings to tweak your Overwatch 2 language.

PS5

Playstation 5 owners can head to the Settings menu on their consoles and go to System>Language to change the in-game language. Do note that not all languages are supported by Overwatch 2 so it may or may not work.

Xbox

Head to the Settings menu and go to System>Language and Location. In the new menu, you can change your language, location, and language region. Change the language and launch Overwatch 2.

Nintendo Switch

On Nintendo Switch go to Settings>System and change the language of your console.

On PC, it is possible to have English text and non-English voiceovers but if you change the language on console, both your text and voice will be changed. If you cannot read the language you are switching to on console, it can be difficult to change back to English so make sure you remember how to revert the settings if you need to.
