Grand Theft Auto 6 players reportedly won’t have to “tap X to sprint” as it looks like Rockstar has finally ditched this feature.

The studio recently invited several creators to check out the upcoming title, and one of them was YouTuber MikeShowSha. Approximately 7 minutes into the video embedded below, MikeShowSha reveals that players don’t have to press X to sprint as they have done in the past with GTA games. Now, players can sprint by pressing the L3 button.

One user wrote on X, “Prefer the tapping mechanic for sprinting. Hope they let us customise the controls,” while another quipped, “Great another way to get stick drift.”

One user shared that the change is “fantastic,” while another simply hoped that this is changeable.

Grand Theft Auto 6 on PS5 Pro Might Deliver 4K Resolution

Reliable leaker Moore’s Law is Dead recently shared guidelines required for a title to get the PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced tag. The YouTuber shared (via Wccftech) that for games to get this tag, they need to target a stable frame rate of 60 fps and the utilisation of PSSR to upscale output resolution to 2160p (or 4K).

Now, the title already has the PS5 Pro Enhanced tag on it, which means that it will deliver 4K resolution. As for the fps, though, the studio recently dropped extended gameplay footage of the game on Netflix, which showcased the title running at 30fps.

Meanwhile, Rockstar and PlayStation have also revealed two GTA 6-themed PS5 controllers. The two controllers will come in black and white colours.
