PC Game Pass users recently faced a significant challenge related to the English language setting in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Fortunately, it appears that the issue has been effectively resolved. Taking the series’ narrative to the 800s-era British Isles, the game follows a Viking clan striving to establish a new settlement while entangled in the enduring conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order. Departing from the traditional Assassin’s Creed format, Valhalla rapidly emerged as one of Ubisoft's most commercially successful games.

The addition of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to the widely popular PC Game Pass this week is expected to further expand its player base. This development is fitting, considering that Valhalla served as a launch title for the Xbox Series X console in 2020. Game Pass offers access to a vast library of titles for a nominal monthly fee, and with over 100 hours of story missions and side activities, Valhalla's expansive open world promises substantial value.

While the availability of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on PC Game Pass is a boon for fans, a significant technical issue has marred the experience. Although unconfirmed, indications suggest that the issue has been rectified. Numerous Game Pass users reported being unable to select the “English” language option when initiating Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Ordinarily, players could choose their preferred language from a drop-down menu during the game's installation via the Ubisoft Connect app. However, the English option was conspicuously absent, as depicted in a video shared on r/XboxGamePass shortly after the problem surfaced.

Understandably, many Reddit users expressed frustration at not being able to experience Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in their native language. Some users suggested practical workarounds, such as installing the game in another language and then adjusting the settings to English from within the game. Encouragingly, some players have reported that Ubisoft is actively addressing the issue through a new update, enabling them to play Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in English after reinstalling the game. However, this information is currently unverified at the time of writing.
