Palworld supports a wide range of languages from around the world. The game offers a settings menu, yet there is no built in option to switch the language directly within the in game interface. This guide explains every available method to change the language on both Steam and Xbox platforms for PC players in Canada and the United States.

Palworld Guides

Change language via Steam on PC

To adjust language settings through Steam, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Steam library.
  2. Right click the Palworld entry.
  3. Select the item called Settings.
  4. In the General section locate the language option.
  5. Choose the preferred language from the list.

If the game displays in a language you do not understand, use the screenshots as a guide. After completing these steps, the game should reflect the new language. If it does not, try restarting Steam and repeating the language change, or alter the language through the game files as an alternative.

Change language via game files on PC

To modify the language using configuration files, open the game folder and navigate to the path “/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Steamworks/Steamv153/Win64/steam_settings”. Locate the file force_language.txt and replace the language with the desired option.

If this method fails, follow the same game folder path and open the file located in “/Pal/Binaries/Win64”. Look for the SteamFix.ini file, find the corresponding line, and set the language to the preferred one. After starting the game, the language should match the one defined in the configuration files.

Change language via Xbox Game Pass on PC

For players using the Xbox Game Pass app, there is a shortcut based option to set the in game language at launch. To perform this, locate the main game folder and follow these steps:

  1. Open the game library.
  2. Right click the Palworld icon in the library.
  3. Choose Manage.
  4. Open the Files tab and select Display.

The main folder opens, and you can follow the path “/Palworld/Contents/” to locate the file gamelauncherhelper.exe. Create a desktop shortcut for this file.

Right click the shortcut and choose Settings. In the Target field add a space then a language parameter in the form —language=xx_YY where xx_YY is the language code you want. This parameter becomes active when starting the game through the shortcut. For example, using English would require —language=en_us, while Japanese uses the corresponding code.

Change language on Xbox

On Xbox consoles, language cannot be changed through configuration files. To adjust Palworld language, the recommended method is to modify the console’s language settings. The following steps guide this process:

  1. Navigate to Get started, then Settings, Time and Language, Region.
  2. Select the region that matches the preferred language.
  3. Return to the home screen and launch the game.

Language changes can be made at any time by adjusting the region, and it is simple to revert if needed.
