Set up GTA VI in a language you can follow

See which voice and text languages GTA VI offers, pick the best option if yours is missing, and set the language on your console.

Get ready for launchChecked:

This guide is for players who do not want to play only in English, and especially for Arabic- and Turkish-speaking players. At the end, you will know which languages GTA VI offers, which one suits you best, and where to set it.

Check which languages the game has

PlayStation lists one voice language and 13 text languages for GTA VI on PS5.

  • Voices: English only.
  • On-screen text and subtitles: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish for Mexico and Spanish for Spain.

We found no separate list for Xbox. Check the Xbox Store page on your console before you buy if the language matters to you.

Choose an option if your language is missing

Arabic and Turkish are not in either list. Neither PlayStation nor Rockstar has announced a version in those languages or a date for one.

If you speak Arabic or Turkish, your options are:

  • Play with English voices and English text, if you read English well.
  • Play with English voices and text in another listed language that you read more easily, for example French or German.
  • Turn on subtitles so you can read dialogue at your own pace.

Decide which of these works for you before you buy. A refund later is not always possible, especially once a download has started.

Set the language on your console

Many games use the console’s language as their starting point. Whether GTA VI does this is not confirmed, so check both places.

  1. On PS5, open Settings, then System and Language.
  2. On Xbox, open Settings, then System and Language & location.
  3. Pick the language you want, if it is offered.

If your console is set to a language the game does not have, what the game shows instead is not documented. Check the result at first start.

Check the settings inside the game

Once GTA VI is out, open its own settings menu and look for language and subtitle options. Rockstar has not published a full list of those settings yet. On PS5, PlayStation has confirmed settings for controller vibration, trigger feedback and the controller speaker, which can help if you want to adjust how the game feels.

Use this site in your language

This site has its answers in English, German, Arabic, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish. You can read setup steps, buying advice and help with problems in Arabic or Turkish even though the game itself does not offer those languages. Switch the site’s language with the language menu.
