Subtitles are one of the most widely used and effective accessibility features in gaming, but they’re not for everyone. Whether you want to turn them on for clarity or turn them off for a more immersive experience while playing *Avowed*, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how you can adjust subtitle settings to fit your preferences.
How to Turn Subtitles On & Off in Avowed
At the beginning of *Avowed*, you’ll be given some initial options related to subtitles. However, if you accidentally choose the wrong setting or decide later that you’d like to change it, there’s no need to worry—adjusting subtitles is simple and accessible.
To toggle subtitles:
- Open the “Settings” menu in-game.
- Navigate to either the “UI” tab or the “Accessibility” tab.
- Look for the following options:
- “Conversation Subtitles”
- “Chatter Subtitles”
- Switch these on or off based on your preference.
While both tabs offer subtitle controls, the “Accessibility” tab provides the clearest and most straightforward layout for making adjustments. That said, you can make changes wherever you feel most comfortable.
Why Don’t Some People Like Subtitles?
While many players rely on subtitles for dialogue clarity, others find them visually distracting or disruptive to their immersion. Preferences vary—some players may have hearing impairments and require subtitles, while others may prefer to focus entirely on the audio and visuals without text overlay. Ultimately, the choice is personal and should be respected.
