343iBot Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Rockstar is finally adding the ability to simply hold down a button to sprint in Grand Theft Auto V, nearly a decade after the game's initial release. The GTA Online update will go live on June 13 and will include a host of other features.This news comes by way of a recent Rockstar Games Newswire post (via TheGamer), which highlights the highly-requested feature. "An alternate sprint control option (hold to sprint) will be added to the Settings Menu," reads an excerpt from the Rockstar post.This is noteworthy, as, for the past decade, you had to tap the sprint button continuously, which was certainly a nuisance for a lot of players. Continuously tapping a button to run has been featured in most modern GTA games, but is problematic, especially in terms of accessibility. This update will hopefully make the game easier to play.It's worth noting that the update is specifically geared toward GTA Online, so it's unclear if the new alternate sprint control option will be available in the single-player portion of GTA 5. We've reached out to Rockstar to see if the new control option will be available in single-player.Grand Theft Auto V launched in September 2013 and eventually went on to sell over 180 million units worldwide, making it the second-best-selling game of all time (behind Minecraft). Rockstar is currently working on the next installment in the series, presumably GTA 6, which is expected to launch as early as 2024.View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
