A major, much requested feature has been added to Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The game now offers subtitles. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners who download the March 12, 2019 patch will now be able to see subtitles in Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
After downloading Spyro Reignited Trilogy update 1.03 for the PlayStation 4 or 1.02 for the Xbox One, people will find the subtitle toggle in the options menu. Every language has subtitles to go with it, and there are also character headers so you can tell who is saying each line.
People have been asking about Spyro Reignited Trilogy subtitles since the game’s November 13, 2018 launch. At the time, Activision issued a statement to Gamepitt and noted the versions of the games in the collection had received new localizations that weren’t previously available. The company representative also said, “While there’s no industry standard for subtitles, the studio and Activision care about the fans’ experience especially with respect to accessibility for people with different abilities, and will evaluate going forward.”
Here are the full Spyro Reignited Trilogy patch notes from the official website.
