How To Change Language Settings in EA Sports FC 25: Complete Instructions
Switching the language in EA Sports FC 25 isn’t just about looking at fancy menus — sometimes, the game just hangs onto the default language or doesn’t update right away after you try changing it. If you’re not fluent in the default language or just want the game to match your setup, this guide should help. It’s pretty straightforward, but a few little quirks can trip you up. Expect to see some options that aren’t immediately obvious, and possibly need a game restart or update, especially if the language sticks stubbornly in one place.
How to Fix Language Not Changing in EA Sports FC 25
Method 1: Change Language Through In-Game Settings
This is the most common way, and usually works — at least most of the time. You hop into the game, head to the settings menu, and find language options there. Sounds simple, right? But because of how some updates handle language packs or regional settings, it’s not always instant. Changing it here will usually take effect immediately after confirming, but sometimes you need to restart the game for it to really stick.
- Launch EA Sports FC 25, then wait for the main menu to load fully. Make sure you’re not in a match or a loading screen.
- Navigate to Settings (using the left joystick), then find Game Settings. Look for the Language option.
- Click into Language — press X or the confirm button on your controller to open the list of available languages. Use the joystick to scroll through and pick your preferred language, like Polish, Spanish, or whatever you need.
- Once selected, confirm by choosing OK or pressing X again. Expect the game to display a quick loading or a message indicating the language is changing.
- If the language change doesn’t appear immediately, try closing and restarting the game — sometimes it just needs that push to fully load the new settings.
This method tends to work best when you’re already in the game or if you’re switching to a language that’s included in your current version. But beware: if updates are pending or if the region settings are skewed, it might not do the trick immediately.
Method 2: Change Language via Console or PC System Settings
This might sound a little overkill, but sometimes EA Sports FC 25 pulls language info from your system or console preferences. If you’ve tried the in-game change and it’s still stubborn, this is worth a shot. Especially on PC, your game might default to your system’s language settings if it can’t find a specified one.
- On PC Windows: Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language. Make sure your preferred language is installed and set as default.
- For specific region-related issues, check the language pack in
Control Panel > Language > Add a languageand add the one you want. - Sometimes, changing system language, then launching the game, forces it to pick up the new language.
On consoles, navigate to Settings > Language & Region and set your preferred language there. Restart the console/game afterward.
Method 3: Force Reinstall or Update the Game
If nothing else works and the language just refuses to change, it’s dirt simple but kind of annoying: try updating or reinstalling the game. Sometimes, missing language packs or corrupted files cause the language setting to stick in limbo.
- Check for any available game updates and install them. Developers often release patches that fix language bugs or add new ones.
- If updates don’t help, uninstall the game and do a fresh install. Be sure to download the latest version from your platform’s store.
- On PC, verify game files (through Steam, Epic, or EA app) to ensure all language files are present.
On some setups, this fixes the language glitch because apparently, the game sometimes skips the right files on first install. Worth a shot if you’re desperate.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
If the language still won’t switch, double-check that your account or platform region matches the language you want. Also, some games only support certain languages depending on your region, so make sure you’re not stuck because of regional restrictions.
- Ensure your game or platform is updated to the latest version, especially after patches.
- Look for any language packs or DLC that might need to be installed separately.
- Clear cache or temporary files if applicable, especially on consoles or PC, to remove bugs.
Summary
- Try changing in the game under Settings > Game Settings > Language.
- If that fails, tweak your system or console language settings.
- Update, reinstall, or verify files if needed.
Wrap-up
Changing the language isn’t always seamless — on some machines, it works the first time, but others? Not so much. Usually, a restart or system tweak kicks it into gear. If all else fails, waiting for an update or reinstall seems to do the trick. Hopefully this shaves a few hours off troubleshooting — because of course, EA games like to make it a little harder than necessary.
