FIRE AND ASHES Languages: Full PC AND PS5 Support Guide

Which Languages Does FIRE AND ASHES Support?

Understanding Henry Gray’s nightmare is easier when you can follow its dialogue and clues. FIRE AND ASHES languages include English and Russian voice acting on both Steam and PS5, with a broader selection of text languages. Check the FIRE AND ASHES languages for your platform before buying, especially if you want Armenian or a particular version of Portuguese.

The Steam version supports 10 languages, with English and Russian providing full audio. All 10 have interface and subtitle support. The PS5 version supports nine screen languages, alongside English and Russian voices.

That distinction matters in a horror game built around investigation. Henry’s journey involves gathering clues, solving puzzles, and uncovering a tragedy from his past. Choose text you can read comfortably so you can concentrate on those connections while navigating hostile environments.

Language feature	PC on Steam	PS5
Total supported text languages	10 interface and subtitle languages	Nine screen languages
Voice acting	English, Russian	English, Russian
Armenian	Interface and subtitles	Outside the supported screen-language selection
Portuguese variant	Brazilian Portuguese	Portuguese from Portugal
Chinese variant	Simplified Chinese	Simplified Chinese

The largest practical differences are Armenian support and the Portuguese localization. English, Russian, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese appear across both platforms’ text selections.

Keep voice acting, written text, and microphone interaction separate when planning your setup. Voice acting is the dialogue you hear. Text support covers written localization. Microphone interaction lets the game react to sounds you make while playing.

FIRE AND ASHES Languages on PC

The Steam version gives you the widest text-language selection of the two versions covered here. Its 10 interface and subtitle languages include Armenian and Brazilian Portuguese, while spoken dialogue is available in English and Russian.

Here is the complete PC breakdown:

Language	Interface	Subtitles	Full audio
English	Yes	Yes	Yes
Armenian	Yes	Yes	No
Simplified Chinese	Yes	Yes	No
French	Yes	Yes	No
German	Yes	Yes	No
Italian	Yes	Yes	No
Japanese	Yes	Yes	No
Brazilian Portuguese	Yes	Yes	No
Russian	Yes	Yes	Yes
Spanish from Spain	Yes	Yes	No

For English-speaking players, the PC version provides English across the interface, subtitles, and voices. Russian has the same coverage. The other eight languages support reading the game’s text and dialogue through localization and subtitles.

When comparing FIRE AND ASHES languages, pay attention to that audio column. Japanese text support, for example, gives you a Japanese interface and subtitles; the spoken performances remain within the English and Russian audio selection. The same distinction applies to French, German, Italian, Armenian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Why the PC text options matter

The story takes Henry through a psychiatric hospital, secret laboratories, and locations connected to his memories. Puzzles and collected clues help reveal what happened to him. Choose a readable interface and subtitle language before committing to the story, particularly if following spoken English or Russian requires extra concentration.

Armenian-speaking players have both interface and subtitle support on Steam. For Portuguese-speaking players, the PC localization specifically uses Brazilian Portuguese.

Use those exact language names when comparing editions. “Portuguese” alone leaves out a meaningful regional distinction, while “Chinese” leaves out whether the supported writing system is Simplified or Traditional.

If those PC options match your needs, you can get FIRE AND ASHES on Steam.

FIRE AND ASHES Languages on PS5

On PS5, FIRE AND ASHES includes English and Russian voices and nine screen languages. The screen-language selection covers English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, French from France, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese from Portugal, and Spanish.

Language	Screen language	Voice acting
English	Yes	Yes
Russian	Yes	Yes
Simplified Chinese	Yes	No
French from France	Yes	No
German	Yes	No
Italian	Yes	No
Japanese	Yes	No
Portuguese from Portugal	Yes	No
Spanish	Yes	No

English and Russian are the choices that combine screen-language support with voice acting. For the remaining seven screen languages, plan around reading localized text while hearing English or Russian performances.

The FIRE AND ASHES languages on PS5 use Portuguese from Portugal. Keep that in mind if you normally play with Brazilian Portuguese. Both are Portuguese localizations, but they are different regional versions.

Armenian is part of the Steam text selection, while PS5’s nine screen languages are the ones shown above. If Armenian interface text and subtitles are your priority, choose the Steam version.

Compare the language you need before the platform

Start with your reading language, then check the available voices. This keeps the purchase decision focused on how you will follow the game.

For example, a Japanese-speaking player can find Japanese text support on either platform, with English and Russian as the voiced languages. A Portuguese-speaking player should compare the regional versions more carefully: Brazilian Portuguese on Steam and Portuguese from Portugal on PS5.

The FIRE AND ASHES PS5 game page is the purchase destination for the console version.

Choosing Audio, Subtitles, and Text

The FIRE AND ASHES languages cover several different parts of the experience. Choose your setup around what you need to understand: menus, dialogue, or both.

Henry’s story begins in 1977 inside Paul Staderbeiger Psychiatric Hospital. As he moves through increasingly disturbing places, exploration and investigation bring pieces of his past into focus. Readable dialogue helps you follow that story, while readable interface text helps you understand the information presented during play.

Choose text you can read under pressure

Use your strongest supported reading language for a story that mixes puzzles, investigation, and survival. Give yourself room to understand a clue without also translating unfamiliar vocabulary.

On PC, every language in the table supports both the interface and subtitles. That gives you written-language coverage whether you choose English, Armenian, Japanese, or another supported option.

Remember these distinctions when comparing FIRE AND ASHES languages:

• Interface support covers the game’s interface text.
• Subtitles provide written dialogue.
• Full audio means spoken performances in that language.
• Screen languages on PS5 identify its supported on-screen text languages.

Use PC subtitles alongside the audio

On PC, subtitles are available across all 10 supported languages. Use them to help follow dialogue as you work through Henry’s story.

Subtitles and closed captions serve different purposes. The PC version supports subtitles, while closed captions are unavailable. Plan around subtitles for dialogue rather than relying on written descriptions of environmental sounds.

That distinction deserves attention here because sound is part of survival. The game reacts to breathing, whispers, and louder vocal reactions, and enemies can respond to the noise you make.

Adjust PC volume around the audio you need

The PC version includes separate Master, SFX, and Music sliders, each ranging from 0 to 100.

Adjust Music and SFX separately when balancing the soundtrack against other game sounds. Use Master for the overall listening level. These controls give you room to shape the audio balance while keeping your chosen text language in view.

English-speaking players have English voices and written localization on both platforms. Russian-speaking players have Russian voices and text on both as well. For the other supported languages, focus on the text coverage and the platform’s regional language choices.

Voice Recognition and Microphone-Free Play

FIRE AND ASHES languages describe localization, while its voice recognition makes your own sound part of the horror. The game reacts to breathing, whispers, screams, and spoken words. Quiet can help you avoid attention, and a shout can draw enemies away.

A microphone adds that interaction, but you can complete the game without one. Choose microphone-free play if you want to experience the story without using your own voice as an input.

Sound interaction	Gameplay function
Breathing and whispers	Sounds the voice-recognition system detects
Holding your breath	Helps avoid giving away your position
Shouting	Can lure or distract enemies
Taunting opponents	Can create openings for melee attacks
Using Electric Voice	Activates a device that can stun susceptible enemies

Control when you make noise

Stay quiet when trying to avoid attention. Use a shout deliberately when you want to pull an enemy away or create time to escape.

The same vocal reaction can be useful or dangerous depending on your situation. A loud sound can reveal your presence, but drawing an enemy toward that sound is also a survival tool. Think about what you want the enemy to do before making noise.

Manage Electric Voice deliberately

Electric Voice is a voice-activated device that delivers electrical damage to enemies with implanted diodes. Sustaining a shout keeps the electrical current running, and a prolonged attack can kill its target.

Use a shorter stun when you want to conserve charge. The device has a limited charge and can be recharged at a special electrical box. It also interacts with powered objects, including electrical doors and lamps.

Those mechanics make microphone play more involved than simply speaking during dialogue. Your timing and volume become part of how you handle threats.

Keep the language decision practical: choose readable text, select from the supported spoken languages, and decide whether you want microphone interaction as part of the experience.
