This guide focuses entirely on switching your game's language. Some players might be looking for community-created language packs for languages not officially supported by the game (such as Chinese or Ukrainian). These packs do exist as third-party mods created by fans and are available on sites like Nexus Mods or through Steam Workshop. However, because this article is specifically for "new" English language packs, and English is officially supported, such fan-made projects are outside its scope.

Note: If the language list is empty, this means your specific region code does not officially support English through Steam.
