skate. (Xbox 360) in French on Xbox Series X (Backwards Compatibility)

FG457 · Feb 4, 2022

Hello,

I want to play the Xbox 360 game "skate." (1) in English. My console is set to English and my Region is set to Germany. When I download the game via gamepass the game is in French with no options to change language (see all the reviews complaining about this in the Microsoft Store). When I set my location to US it's still in French. I even bought the original German Xbox 360 disc, but I need the update to play on my Xbox Series X which also changes the language to French. I just want to play this game in English or German and even paid money to do so. Please can you fix this update to be in English, it is very annoying and how hard can it be? This a reason why I won't extend my Gamepass subscription as of now.

Thanks in advance.

:)

Sorry for my delay my friend.

Back to our issue... I downloaded it on my Series S, from gamepass.

My console is in the region Brazil and language English UK.

And weird enough, the game is in English on my console. :/

I'm going to download it on my console via the GP to see if the same happens to me, my friend, and let you know in a few minutes.

Hey there, Thank you for your answer! The thing is it says the following on the games German Microsoft marketplace page (https://www.xbox.com/de-DE/games/store/skate/c3qwncv55vll):

"Beschreibung

Dieses Spiel unterstützt Französisch und Deutsch.[...]"

Translation

"Description
This game supports French and German.[...]"

I would totally be fine with German (because it's my native language) but it is only available in French which I don't understand all that much and with no option to change the language when newly installing or ingame.

So this must be a incomplete BC patch from Microsoft and I would love to see it fixed to enjoy this game

Thank you for your time, the problem was solved!

Explanation:

The game apparently defaults to French when the language is set to English (and only French and German are available languages for the game).

My region was set to Germany for some time but my console was always set to English. And the game always defaulted to French. So the game doesn't care about my region settings and only checks the language settings. When changing the console/system language to German the game is also German (English is not an option and when set as the system language changes the games language to French).

Yes as mentioned YOU can't override the region lock and it's against the rules to do so

Brazil supports keep ind mind during the xbox one days languages hence why l4 was able to do so

Keep in mind he's a newer region then Germany which is a launch region
