Huge list of Video Games available in Norwegian (Great for language learning and immersion)
To celebrate Norway’s Constitution Day on May 17 and this week’s Games of Norway Steam sale, here’s a big list of PC games with Norwegian audio, subtitles, or interface support!
This list could be very useful for kids learning how to read, people learning the language or for anyone who wants to game in norwegian! I looked for lots of games when my nieces were learning to read, first Norwegian, then English, that could be enjoyed without needing me to read aloud or translate everything! I hope this list helps you too.
Games are a fun supplement to learn reading, either for your first language or for new one, also a great way to immerse yourself in a language. Check out r/norsk and r/languagelearning for more resources!
>Note: This list is based on Steam language metadata and community comments. Steam’s language tags are often misleading, so let me know if you spot any errors or missing games!
>>Tip: Change your Steam language settings to include Norwegian as a secondary language to see supported games at the top! >>> Tip 2: Many games don't show Norwegian in-game by default. Right-click the game in your Steam Library > Properties > General > Language and select Norwegian.
You can find more on Steam and GoG, also the Media dubbing wiki (2)
>With SteamDB you can also filter by Subtitles and Audio.
