Changing the language of Overwatch on PS4 involves adjusting your system language settings, as the game uses the PS4’s system language by default. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it easily:
- Turn on your PS4 and ensure your console is connected to the internet.
- Navigate to the main menu and select the Settings icon, which looks like a gear and is usually on the top row.
- Scroll down and choose Language. This controls your system’s overall language.
- Select System Language from the list of options. Here, you will see a variety of languages such as English, French, Spanish, etc.
- Pick your preferred language. For example, choose French if you want Overwatch to display in French.
- The PS4 will automatically switch to the selected language, which may take a moment. You might need to restart your console to apply full changes.
- Launch Overwatch on your PS4. The game should now display in your chosen language.
If Overwatch still appears in the previous language after you change the PS4 system language, ensure your game is fully updated, as some language options depend on game updates or regional versions.
Note that some languages may require downloading additional language packs, especially for voice acting and subtitles. Check the PlayStation Store if you need to download any content.
Additional tips:
- If you want to revert to your original language, just repeat the above steps and select your previous language.
- Changing the system language affects all compatible games and the interface, so be aware of this wider impact.
- After changing the language, restarting your PS4 can help apply changes smoothly.
