Crimson Desert Supported Languages and Voice Options

Crimson Desert currently supports 14 interface and subtitle languages, with full voiceover in three of them. Here is the official language list and the physical-vs-digital caveat that matters.

Crimson Desert currently supports 14 interface and subtitle languages, but only 3 of those have full voiceover.

That is the clean official answer from Pearl Abyss' FAQ, and Steam's language table matches that overall language count.

Quick answer

Interface and subtitles

Crimson Desert officially supports:

  • English
  • French
  • Italian
  • German
  • Spanish (Spain)
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Polish
  • Russian
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Spanish (Latin America)
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Portuguese (Brazil)
  • Turkish

Full voiceover

Full voice acting is officially available in:

  • English
  • Korean
  • Simplified Chinese

Where to change the language

Pearl Abyss says the in-game path is:

  • Menu
  • Other
  • Options
  • Settings
  • Languages and Gameplay

That means you do not need a separate launcher tweak just to swap supported languages after install.

The physical-vs-digital caveat that matters

Digital copies are the simplest option here. Pearl Abyss says:

  • digital editions support all languages regardless of purchase region

Physical PlayStation editions are more complicated:

  • Asia version supports Simplified and Traditional Chinese
  • Korean and Japanese versions do not support Simplified or Traditional Chinese

So if Chinese-language support is a purchase blocker for you, the region of a physical PlayStation copy matters.

Does Steam show the same picture?

Broadly, yes.

Steam's store page currently shows the same 14 supported languages and the same full audio trio:

  • English
  • Korean
  • Simplified Chinese

That is useful because it confirms the FAQ wording is not out of step with the live PC storefront.

FAQ

How many languages does Crimson Desert support? 14 for interface and subtitles.

Which languages have full voice acting? English, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.

Does Crimson Desert support Traditional Chinese? Yes for interface and subtitles. It is not listed as a full-audio language.

Do physical copies always support every language? No. Pearl Abyss specifically warns that some physical PlayStation versions differ by region.

What to do next

If your buying decision also depends on edition or platform rules, read Can You Upgrade from Standard to Deluxe in Crimson Desert?, Does Crimson Desert Have Cross-Save?, and Can You Play Crimson Desert Offline?. If you are setting the game up on PC, Crimson Desert Controller Support on PC Explained is another useful companion page.
