On Steam, you can change the language of Borderlands 3 to English. We will show you how to do it.
What is it about? Since Friday, March 13th, you can now play and purchase Borderlands 3 on Steam. After a long exclusivity for the Epic Games Store, the shooter is now also making friends on Valve’s platform.
However, some players want to change the language of the shooter. They post on Reddit and other social platforms to seek advice. The problem often is that the displayed language in the properties on Steam shows “English,” but the game does not run in English.
In this guide, we will show you how to change the language of Borderlands 3 on Steam.
Playing Borderlands 3 in English on Steam – Change Language

Here’s how:
- Open your Steam library
- Right-click on Borderlands 3
- Select “Properties”
- Now select “Set Launch Options”
- Choose a language from the table that you want to use
- Enter “-culture=XX” in the window [replace XX with the corresponding letters you find in the table. No spaces]
- Confirm now with “Ok”
