GTA 6 languages: dub, subtitles and the full list
“Will GTA 6 be in my language?” and, for players in Italy, “will GTA 6 be in Italian?” now have an official answer: yes for subtitles and menus, no for dubbing. Here’s what Rockstar confirmed and why.
The official languages
With pre-orders opening, Rockstar published GTA 6’s list of supported languages: 13 languages for text and interface, with audio in a single language, English. Italian is among the 13: Italian subtitles and menus, English voices.
The subtitle and interface languages are English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Polish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain) and Portuguese (Brazil).
Why no dubbing
It’s no surprise: it’s the line Rockstar has always held on its modern games. GTA 5, GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 shipped with localized text and subtitles but no dubbing, and GTA 6 does the same. A dubbed modern GTA has never existed in any language.
The reason is practical as much as stylistic: performance and lip-sync are captured together with the facial animation, and the characters are tied to their original voices. Redoing them in another language would mean re-shooting a huge part of the game.
Setting GTA 6’s language
The setup is simple, and worth knowing in advance:
- Console language: PS5 and Xbox often pick the game’s language from the system language, so a console already set to your language frequently launches the game translated.
- In-game settings: GTA’s menus let you change text language and subtitles independently from the system language.
- Subtitles on: with English audio, subtitles are how you follow the dialogue; Rockstar has historically made them quite customizable.
In short
- GTA 6 supports 13 languages for subtitles and interface, Italian included.
- Audio is English only: no dubbing, in any language.
- It’s the same choice as GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Language is set from the console and the in-game menus.
