How to Change Language in Overwatch 2 On Consoles?

The console version of Overwatch 2 doesn't have an in-game option to change the language. Instead, you will have to do it in the console's settings, and this applies to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles. Here's how you can do it for every console on which Overwatch 2 is available.

PlayStation 5

1. Navigate to the home screen of PlayStation 5, then select the settings (gear icon in the upper right corner, left of your profile picture).
2. Select the System option.
3. Select the Language option.
4. There, you will have an option to change the console and input language. Select any language listed there, and your language in Overwatch 2 will change too. Keep in mind that the next time you launch Overwatch 2, you'll have to wait for the language change to apply, but it should last for a long time. In addition, Overwatch 2 will only support several languages rather than all languages available on PlayStation.

Xbox Series X/S

1. Open the home screen of your Xbox console, and select the Settings option.
2. Navigate to the System option.
3. Select the Language & location option.
   
4. There, you will have an option to change language, language region (such as British English), as well as location. Select the preferred language there and open Overwatch 2, which will load the newly selected language.

Nintendo Switch

1. Open the System Settings from the main menu of Nintendo Switch by selecting the gear icon left of the power icon.
2. Navigate all the way down to the latest option in the System menu.

Keep in mind that the next time you launch Overwatch 2, you'll have to wait for the language change to apply. This could be a great time to try out our Overwatch Hero Randomizer tool, which can help you choose a new hero to play while you're waiting.
