How to Change Language in Doom: The Dark Ages on PC and Xbox

Need to switch languages in Doom: The Dark Ages? Here’s a quick guide on how to change your language settings on Steam, Battle.net, and Xbox Game Pass for PC.

How to Change Language in Doom: The Dark Ages on PC and Xbox

Doom: The Dark Ages takes players back to the Doom Slayer’s early days with a darker, grittier vibe than its 2016 counterpart. While the action still rips and tears like you’d expect, this prequel brings a heavier tone to the table.

But before diving into the demon-slaying madness, you’ll want to make sure the game is set to your preferred language — especially if it’s defaulted to something else. No worries, though. This guide will walk you through changing the language on PC (via Steam, Battle.net, and Xbox Game Pass) and Xbox.

Steam (PC)

If you’re playing through Steam, changing the language isn’t done in-game — you’ll need to do it through the Steam client itself. Here’s how:

1. Open your Steam Library and right-click on Doom: The Dark Ages.
   
2. Select Properties from the menu.
   
3. Head to the General tab.
   
4. Look for the language dropdown (usually under Overlay settings), then select your preferred language from the list.
   

That’s it! The next time you launch the game, it’ll boot up in your chosen language.

Battle.net (PC)

Using Battle.net? The steps are super similar:

1. Find Doom: The Dark Ages in your Battle.net library.
   
2. Click the game’s settings or gear icon.
   
3. Choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
   
4. Launch the game, and you’re good to go.
   

Xbox Game Pass for PC

Game Pass players might notice that the game defaults to a different language depending on your Windows region settings. Here’s a workaround to force the game to run in English:

1. Open the Xbox App and right-click on Doom: The Dark Ages.
   
2. Select Create desktop shortcut.
   
3. On your desktop, create a new text file and rename it with a .bat extension (for example: doom.bat).
   
4. Open the .bat file and paste this line inside: “.\DOOM The Dark Ages.lnk” +sys_langPlatform “en”
5. Save the file and double-click the .bat to launch the game.
   

Heads up: Make sure the file is saved as doom.bat and not doom.bat.txt. If it’s saving as a .txt, use “All Files” in the Save As file type dropdown.
