How to change language in Palworld

If you’re trying to change language in Palworld, the good news is that the game makes it super easy. Whether you prefer to play in Spanish, Japanese, or anything other than English, you can switch languages directly from the main menu.

Pocketpair’s monster-collecting game quickly rose to the top of Steam charts in terms of concurrent players just hours after its launch, essentially breaking records despite being released in early access. The game offers so much more than just “Pokemon with guns,” as players can dive deep into building their perfect base, exploring dangerous dungeons, crafting items, and so much more.

But beyond the memes and Pals with rocket launchers, the game offers strong accessibility features, including full language support. So, if you’re keen on playing the game in your preferred language aside from the default English language, it’s possible to do just that. Here’s how to change language settings in Palworld in just a few steps.

How to change language in Palworld for Steam

At the time of writing, it’s not possible to change the language directly in the game. Instead, if you’re playing the game from Steam, you’ll need to do it via the game’s Steam settings. To do that, follow the steps below:

1. Launch Steam.
2. Hover to the Library tab and select Collections.
3. Right-click on Palworld.
4. Select Properties.
5. Head to the Language options under the General tab.
6. Click on English (default language) and change it to your preferred language.

And just like that, your language in the game should be changed when you log back in. Feel free to repeat this process if you’d like to revert your change.

For Xbox Game Pass users playing on PC, the method to change language in Palworld is slightly different. You still need to change the language outside of the game, but it does require you to tweak one of the game’s files. Here’s how to do it:

1. In your search bar, type Run and click on it.
2. Next, type %localappdata% in the Run window and press OK.
3. Locate the Pal folder in the list of folders.
4. Once you’ve opened the Pal folder, navigate to Saved > Config > WinGDK.
5. Right-click the Engine.ini file and select Open with Notepad.
6. Scroll to the bottom and type [Internationalization] Culture=en
7. Save and close the file.

Now, keep in mind that “en” in the code refers to the English language. So, if you’d like to change it, you’ll need to replace it with the correct code according to the language you want. Below is a list of all supported languages in Palworld, each with its respective code.

• English: en
• Spanish: es 
• German: de
• French: fr
• Italian: it
• Korean: ko 
• Russian: ru 
• Japanese: ja
• Portuguese: pt-BR
• Traditional Chinese: zh-Hant
• Simplified Chinese: zh-Hans

How to change language in Palworld on PlayStation

Changing the language in Palworld on PlayStation is super straightforward. Here’s what to do:

1. Open the game and head to the main menu.
2. Select “Settings.”
3. Look for the “Language” tab in the settings menu.
4. Choose your preferred language from the list.
5. Save your changes and you’re good to go.

If you don’t see the Language tab, make sure your game is fully updated. Most console versions have language options built right into the main menu.

Want to change the whole system’s language? This might affect some games too:

1. Go to your PS5 Settings (the gear icon).
2. Scroll down and select System.
3. Choose Language, then pick your preferred system language.

That said, for Palworld, it’s best to change it in-game. It’s faster and only affects Palworld itself.

So, that’s pretty much how you can change language in Palworld. If you’d like to know what the game plans to offer next, check out Palworld’s roadmap, which features multiple improvements and features players can expect.
