GTA 6 Localization to Include Russian but Omit Ukrainian and Turkish

At least thirteen languages will be available in GTA 6, derived from three sources including official website material lists, second trailer subtitle options, and localization tester job postings at Rockstar Lincoln, though an official language lineup has not been announced. This selection matches the standard Rockstar Games set used in recent projects and Online support, leaving several specific language questions open.

Will Russian be in GTA 6?

Doubts persisted until the big premiere on May 6, as sanctions from the war in Ukraine raised questions about entering the Russian market and cooperating with local localization teams, though some audience members expected creators and publishers to include Russian.

Rockstar Games and Take-Two view Russian as the primary language in the post-Soviet space and may expect business restrictions to lift before release, while the game will be sold for the next 10 years regardless.

The Russian-language version of the second trailer is absent from the devs’ Russian YouTube channel, which has been inactive since early 2022, but it appears in the PlayStation Store.

Will Ukrainian be in GTA 6?

Over three and a half years of full-scale invasion, Ukrainian has grown in usage among gamers locally and abroad, ranking in the top 15 interface languages on Steam and appearing in indie and AAA titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Counter-Strike 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Another game from the same rights holder, Mafia: The Old Country, did not announce Ukrainian initially, but news about Ukrainian localization arrived several months after the announcement, giving Take-Two experience with the process, and presenting an opportunity for UnlocTeam, SBT Localization, or another Ukrainian company.

Ukrainian GTA fan localizations are extremely popular.

Will Turkish be in GTA 6?

The #WeWantGTA6inTurkish campaign gained momentum on social media this year, and Turkish holds a strong position on Steam, though the new Mafia game omitted the language despite demand, and the campaign movement shifted into spam.
