In Destiny 2, we show you how to play the PC version in German and how to hide your real name in chat. You don’t have to show your real name.
The closed beta of Destiny 2 started yesterday, on August 28th. After many Guardians struggled for about half an hour with the Saxophone error code, they were able to dive into the fight against the Red Legion for the first time using mouse and keyboard.
Many players encountered a few “inconveniences.” The beta is set to run in English by default, and your “real name,” the clear name, is displayed in chat. How can you change this?
How to set the PC beta of Destiny 2 to German
There were no language issues with the console beta. It launched directly in German here. However, for the PC beta, you need to take action yourself if you want to experience the game in German.
Open the Blizzard app and select the “Destiny 2” tab on the left side. Now click not on Play, but first on Options. You can find the options directly under the “Destiny 2” logo next to “Redeem code.”
In the options, click on “Game Settings,” where you can choose between several languages for text and audio, including German. Now just click on “Done” and start Destiny 2. Now the beta is in German.
Hide clear names and switch to BattleTag
Your real name is displayed in the chat of the “Destiny 2” beta. If you don’t want that, you can hide it and switch to your BattleTag name.
To do this, start the beta, log in, and go to the menu (with ESC). Then click on “Open Settings,” then on Gameplay, and there you will find the option to hide your real name.
Have fun in the beta, Guardians! If you want to learn more about the Destiny universe, you can check out our beginner’s guide to Destiny 2. And here you can find all the info about the PC beta phase of Destiny 2.
