Starting October 21, 2021, Steam’s Chat Filtering feature will be implemented into Don’t Starve Together on Steam (PC, Mac, Linux). Chat Filtering allows players to customize the language they see from other players in the game. More information about Steam Chat Filtering can be found here.
Chat filtering can be configured via Steam’s Community Content Preferences, and these will be enabled in-game.
Players can also disable Chat Filtering for Don’t Starve Together only, via the in-game options screen setting “Steam Chat Filtering” Options > Settings > Steam Chat Filtering (Enable or Disable)
