The Grand Theft Auto run button has changed after 25 years - GTA 6 no longer requires you to tap a face button to peg it
eurogamer.net • • technology
Key Points:
- GTA 6 changes the traditional sprint control by assigning sprinting to clicking the left stick (L3) instead of tapping the X or A face button, a departure from nearly 25 years of Grand Theft Auto games.
- This new sprint mechanic aligns GTA 6 with most modern shooters, where pressing L3 initiates sprint and releasing or changing stick direction returns to normal movement speed.
- The previous method of tapping X/A to sprint was unusual among third-person games, where holding a face button or other inputs are more common for sprinting or running.
- GTA 6 will run at 30 FPS on consoles at launch, with Rockstar uncertain about adding a 60 FPS Performance mode, which may be introduced post-launch.
- The game is scheduled for release on November 19th for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
