In Starfield, to walk (move at walking speed) instead of running on PC with a keyboard, simply press the "Caps Lock" key. This toggles between running and walking speeds, allowing players to walk at the pace of NPCs or companions. Press "Caps Lock" once to start walking and press it again to return to running. For sprinting, hold the left Shift key. On Xbox console or controller, however, there is no toggle key for always walking; instead, gently push the left joystick forward to move slowly at a walking pace. Pushing the joystick fully forward makes the character run. To summarize:
- On PC (keyboard): Press "Caps Lock" to toggle walking on/off.
- On PC (keyboard): Hold left Shift to sprint.
- On Xbox console (controller): Push left joystick slightly forward to walk.
- On Xbox console (controller): Push joystick fully forward to run.
This is the default behavior, and key bindings for toggling walking can be adjusted in the game's settings if desired.
