Squadron 42 Supported Languages: Full List at Launch

Squadron 42 launches with support for 10 languages — English as the only fully voiced language, with interface and subtitle localization across nine others. The list is confirmed on the game's official Steam page, and hands-on testing of the campaign has confirmed the localized text in action across menus, ship signage and display terminals. This page lists every supported language and what each level of support means.

The Full Language List

According to the official Steam listing:

What the Support Levels Mean

Full audio means the game's dialogue is voiced in that language. Only English qualifies — the campaign's performances are captured in English with the Hollywood cast, and no dubbed audio tracks have been announced. Interface localization covers menus, HUD elements, ship signage and display terminals. Subtitles cover the spoken dialogue. In practice, a French, German or Japanese player experiences the campaign with English voice acting and fully localized text everywhere else — the standard model for cinematic games with performance-captured casts.

The Localization in Practice

Hands-on testing of the campaign confirmed the depth of the localization: text is localized not just in menus but in the world itself — ship signage, display terminals and in-game documents. That level of integration matters for a game set on explorable capital ships, where signage and terminals are part of the environment. The confirmed list covers the major European and Asian gaming markets, and the two Spanish variants (Spain and Latin America) reflect the size of the Spanish-speaking audience.

Could More Languages Be Added?

Additional languages or dubbed audio have not been announced. CIG has historically expanded language support for Star Citizen over time, so the current list may grow after launch — but as of the official Steam listing, the 10 languages above are what is confirmed. Any additions will appear on the store page.

Language Support in the Campaign's Structure

The 10-language support applies across the campaign's full structure — all 28 chapters, the ship interiors, the briefing scenes and the combat dialogue. Hands-on testing at the Manchester playtest confirmed localized text in the game world itself, not just the menus: ship signage, display terminals and in-game documents are localized alongside the interface. For a game built around exploration and reading its environments, that depth of localization is unusual and worth noting for players choosing their language at launch.

Choosing Your Language

Language selection follows the standard Steam and RSI flows: on Steam, the game's language list is managed through the client's properties menu for the game; on the RSI launcher, through the launcher's settings. Because English is the only fully voiced language, the practical choice for most players is between English audio with English text and English audio with localized text. The localized interface and subtitles cover the full campaign, so neither choice limits access to the story.
