How to Walk in Starfield

You know how some games require you to follow NPCs who, for some reason, are hellbent on roleplaying as sloths crossing a busy road, forcing you into some twisted game of Red Light Green Light to match their pace or risk leaving them behind until awkwardly waiting for them to catch up? Great news, Starfield does that all the time! Fortunately, you can force your character to walk at such a slow pace that it almost feels like when you take your Nan to the grocery store to resupply English Breakfast tea. Here’s how to walk in Starfield.

Starfield: How to Toggle Always Run On and Off

On PC, you can turn off Always-Run and force your character to walk by pressing Caps Lock. This is the default keybinding when using mouse and keyboard, and it can easily be changed in the Bindings menu.

Pressing Caps Lock will turn the Always-Run feature off and on, prompting your character to walk at the same pace as most NPCs.

While that’s all fun and games, what about all those players using controllers in Starfield? Well, my brave star captains, I’ve got just the solution for you.
