Use the method for the platform that launches GTA V: run GTAVLanguageSelect.exe for Steam, change Language under General in Rockstar Games Launcher, use the language dropdown in Epic Games Launcher settings, or change the console system language. Avoid registry edits and unofficial language packs.
Confirm whether the game is launched through Steam, Rockstar Games Launcher, Epic Games Launcher, PlayStation, or Xbox. Use only the method for that platform; a launcher setting does not change a console system language.
2
For Steam, run the language selector
Close GTA V, open its installed game folder, and run GTAVLanguageSelect.exe. Choose an available language, apply the selection, then start GTA V from Steam. Rockstar documents this selector for the Steam version.
3
For Rockstar Games Launcher, open General settings
Open Rockstar Games Launcher, select Settings, then General. Choose the required language under Language, return to Games, and launch GTA V so the launcher applies the selection.
4
For Epic Games Launcher, use the game setting
Open Epic Games Launcher, go to Library, open the GTA V settings control, and choose the available language from its language dropdown. Close the settings and launch the game from Epic.
5
For a console, change the system language
On PlayStation or Xbox, close GTA V and change the console's supported system language in console settings. Restart the game after the system language is applied; Rockstar ties the console game language to that setting.
6
Verify interface, subtitles, and audio separately
At the GTA V main menu, check the interface and subtitle language. Voice audio availability can differ from interface text, so do not treat unchanged spoken dialogue as proof that the launcher setting failed.
7
Repeat the official method for your platform
Close the game and repeat only the method Rockstar provides for that platform. Confirm that the chosen language is available in the selector or dropdown before repairing files or reinstalling.
If GTAVLanguageSelect.exe is missing from a Steam installation, verify the GTA V game files through Steam before downloading any executable from elsewhere.
Do not install unofficial language packs or edit Windows registry values. If the official selector does not offer the language, use Rockstar Support for the installed edition and region.
