How to run in Red Dead Redemption 2? - Hurdle painted in white black and red colors placed on empty rubber running track in soft focus

Am I the only one bashing X button to run and he doesn't move faster at all? I've eaten well so the stamina and health are full and holding X or tapping it won't make it run. I can't even pass the first mission that I have to follow a group because they're running faster.



Best Answer

Play in first person. Then you'll default to running with the left stick pushed fully forward. And it looks better.
