Yes, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS officially offers a Ukrainian language option. Ukrainian is among the supported interface languages listed on the game’s Steam page. Below is the full list of every language, an explanation of the difference between text and voice acting, and a step-by-step way to check this yourself.

How many languages does PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS support

The game’s Steam page lists 17 interface languages. That covers menus, interface elements and subtitles — this is how Steam treats a “supported language” tag for any game in its catalogue, not just PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.

The full list:

• English
• Korean
• Simplified Chinese
• French
• German
• Spanish - Spain
• Arabic
• Japanese
• Polish
• Portuguese - Portugal
• Russian
• Turkish
• Thai
• Italian
• Portuguese - Brazil
• Traditional Chinese
• Ukrainian

That’s the entire list shown on the game’s page. Ukrainian sits at the very end — the order matches how languages are displayed on the page and isn’t tied to translation quality or priority.

How the languages section works on Steam

Nearly every game page in the Steam catalogue has this section, and it always works the same way. Steam splits languages into two categories: interface language (menus, text, subtitles) and full voice acting, traditionally marked with an asterisk. A single game can support many interface languages while offering full voice acting in only a few — or it can have no language marked with an asterisk at all. That’s standard Steam practice, not something unusual for one particular title.

Where Ukrainian sits on this list

Among the interface languages shown on the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Steam page. Ukrainian is supported the same way as the rest of the languages on the list of 17 — that status covers translated text, menus and subtitles.

Text language and voice language are two different things

It’s easy to mix these up. When a game “supports” a language, that usually means translated interface, menus and subtitles. Full voice acting is a separate feature, and not every language on the list gets it.

On the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Steam page, the asterisk that traditionally marks full voice acting isn’t attached to any language on the list.

That doesn’t mean the game has no voice acting at all — only that the Steam page doesn’t flag any language with the full-voice-acting mark. What’s actually spoken in the game isn’t specified on the page, and we won’t guess at it.

What the game’s page doesn’t say

Here’s what’s honestly missing from the official data:

• the page doesn’t explain why these particular languages and not others;
• the page doesn’t describe how complete the Ukrainian interface translation is — the full text or only part of it;
• the page gives no information about future changes to the language list — neither additions nor removals.

The studio’s localisation plans are unknown to us, so promising anything for the future would be dishonest.

How to check the language list yourself

The language list can change, so it’s worth knowing how to check it yourself rather than relying on any write-up, including this one.

1. Open the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS page on Steam.
2. Scroll down to the game’s description.
3. Find the section listing supported languages — usually a table beneath the description.
4. Check whether any language carries an asterisk: it marks full voice acting, not just text translation.
5. Look for “Ukrainian” in the list — if it’s there, interface text and subtitles in Ukrainian are supported.

The same method works for any other game on Steam, not just PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.

While you’re at it: launching the game itself

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS can be installed and launched for free — read more about the free-to-play model and PUBG Plus separately if you haven’t tried the game yet. The interface language switches in the same menu as the FPS settings.

In short

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS officially offers a Ukrainian language option — it’s one of 17 interface languages on the game’s Steam page. No language on the list, Ukrainian included, is marked as fully voiced, and the studio’s plans for expanding the list or adding voice acting are unknown.
