Best video games to learn Norwegian

Updated 2026-11-04. Rankings are not paid for.

Erdetspill is the top pick, because it is Norwegian through and through, with Norwegian voice and subtitles.

Norwegian voice acting is very rare, so this list is short. The games here are worth finding, because they are rooted in Norwegian humour, stories and culture.
