A grande lista de jogos em Português de Portugal
(The Big list of games localised into European Portuguese)
For the longest time European Portuguese language translations were a rarity. With brazil having 15 times the Portuguese population and the two languages being deemed “similar” if not the same, despite the near seventy percent terminological difference In speciality text several companies from small to big simply reused their Brazilian Portuguese translation when giving players in Portugal the option to play in Portuguese. Surprisingly big companies and games have taken that route, such as Rockstar’s Gta V or most Ubisoft titles, and as an European Portuguese translator I was curious enough to try and create a list of games with Portuguese subs, and dubs.
Things have been getting better, mainly due to how much smaller the obstacles are to publishing and releasing a game on Platforms such as Steam or the Google Play Store and I can only point to the work of the Steam Curator “Legendas Português” who has provided a baseline from where to start, but when it comes to consoles the percentage is still relatively low.
Sony is probably the biggest publisher in terms of investing in the production of subtitles and dubs in European Portuguese but even they are not completely innocent on the matter with games such as Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale lacking them. Another big one would probably be Disney which released most of their kids games in Portuguese. On a more negative note however unfortunately when it comes to audio several companies have been stepping back in terms of European Portuguese. Such is the case with the Fifa series of games which, though it kept the European Portuguese localisation option no longer features Portuguese commentary. Games within “< >” indicate they were dubbed.
Now that I’ve painted a general image however, let me present you the (still incomplete, and likely will always be) list.
