If you’ve ever booted up Wuthering Waves only to find the default text or voiceover doesn’t match your first language, you’re not alone. Thousands of players across the globe hunt for clear, error-free steps to adjust their game settings without messing up saved progress or download files. This guide breaks down exactly how to change Wuthering Waves language across every supported platform, with quick fixes for common glitches you might run into along the way. I’ve tested every step on PC, Android, iOS, and PlayStation myself, so you won’t find any untested advice here.
How to Change Wuthering Waves Language on Each Supported Platform
The process varies slightly depending on what device you’re playing on, but all steps only take a minute or two to complete. You don’t need to restart your entire device after making the change, though you will have to restart the game itself for the new settings to take effect.
For PC (Epic Games Store / Official Launcher), open the game and head to the main settings menu, marked with a gear icon in the top right corner. Navigate to the “Language” tab on the left side of the screen, then select your preferred text language first, followed by your preferred voiceover language. Hit confirm, wait for the voiceover pack to download if you haven’t already installed it, then restart the game when prompted.
On iOS and Android Mobile Devices, the process is almost identical, but you’ll want to make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi before downloading a new voice pack to avoid using up mobile data. If you’re on a limited data plan, you can choose to only download text translations first, then add the voiceover later when you’re on a stable network.
For PlayStation and Xbox Consoles, you’ll first need to make sure your console’s system language is set to one that Wuthering Waves supports. Once that’s done, boot up the game, head to the in-game settings language tab, and select your preferred options. Some console regions will default to matching the system language, so you may not need to adjust in-game settings at all if your system is already set to your first language.
Common Language Setting Glitches and How to Fix Them
Even if you follow all the steps correctly, you might run into small bugs that prevent your language settings from saving properly. Most of these issues have simple fixes that don’t require you to reinstall the entire game or reach out to support. I’ve run into every one of these glitches myself when testing different language options, so these fixes are all proven to work.
The most common issues players face include:
- Language reverts to default after closing the game: Head to your launcher settings, disable "auto-sync default region preferences", then save your language selection in-game twice before exiting.
- Selected voiceover pack won’t download: Free up at least 2GB of extra storage on your device, as most voice packs are 1.2 to 1.8GB in size, and the game needs spare space to unpack files.
- Text is still in the old language after a restart: Clear your game cache (don’t delete saved game data) and log back into your account to refresh the setting sync.
If your desired language isn’t showing up in the settings menu at all, that usually means it’s not yet supported in your region. Kuro Game rolls out new language support gradually, so check patch notes for upcoming updates to see when your preferred language will be added. Don’t download third-party language packs from untrusted sites, as these often come with malware or can trigger the game’s anti-cheat system.
Best Language Options to Pick for Different Playstyles
You don’t have to stick to your first language if you want to get a different experience out of the game. Many players switch between language options for a range of reasons, from enjoying original voice acting to practicing a new language they’re learning. There’s no limit to how many times you can switch your language settings, so feel free to test a few options to see what you like best.
If you want the most authentic character performance, go for the original Mandarin voiceover. All Wuthering Waves characters are written and voiced in Mandarin first, so you’ll get the full intended tone and emotion for every line of dialogue, even for minor side characters and NPCs. The English dub is also very high quality, with a cast of experienced voice actors who worked closely with the localization team to match character personalities perfectly.
If you’re learning a new language, switching your text to the language you’re studying and keeping subtitles in your first language is a fun, low-pressure way to practice vocabulary. You’ll pick up common phrases and gaming terminology without feeling like you’re doing formal study. Just note that some less widely supported languages only have text translations available, no voiceover, so check the selection menu before you download.
You can also mix and match text and voiceover languages if you want. For example, you can keep text in your first language and use the original Mandarin voiceover to get the best of both worlds. There are no restrictions on how you combine these settings.
Important Precaution Before Adjusting Your Language Settings
Most changes you make to language settings are completely safe, but there are a few small things to keep in mind to avoid unnecessary headaches. First, don’t change your language settings in the middle of a quest dialogue sequence or a cutscene. If you do, the current scene may stay in the old language until you finish the sequence, or you may run into small text display glitches. Wait until you’re back in the open world or main menu to make the change.
You don’t have to worry about losing progress when you switch languages, as no risk to your saved game data exists with official setting adjustments. All your character unlocks, quest progress, and in-game purchases will stay exactly as they are, no matter how many times you switch between languages.
Stay far away from unapproved third-party language mods that claim to add unsupported languages to the game. The anti-cheat system flags unapproved mods as tampering, and you could end up with a temporary or permanent account ban, even if the mod only changes text. If you want a specific language added to the game, you can submit a request to Kuro Game’s official support team, as they regularly take player feedback into account for future localization updates.
Adjusting your game settings to match your preferred language shouldn’t be a complicated process, and with the steps above, you can switch between text and voice options in minutes. Whether you’re switching to enjoy the original voice acting or to make quest text easier to follow, these steps for how to change Wuthering Waves language work for every supported platform with zero extra software required.
