  1. Go to your library, right-click on Overwatch and select “Properties…”.
  2. After that select from the drop-down menu the language you want to hear in-game.

To set text language add this line to launch options:
*–tank_Locale language code *

  • English: --tank_Locale EnUS
  • German: --tank_Locale DeDE
  • French: --tank_Locale FrFR
  • Japanese: --tank_Locale JaJP
