So You Bought GTA 6 and Can't See Straight? A Guide to Not Getting Stuck in Your Own Eyeballs (Xbox One Edition)
Ah, GTA 6. The game we dreamt of, pre-ordered in a fit of excitement fueled by dubious leaks and questionable YouTube thumbnails. Finally, it's here, gracing our screens with its neon-drenched open world and enough glitches to make a Bethesda dev blush. But hold on, partner, before you dive headfirst into Vice City's underbelly, there's a hurdle to overcome: the camera.
Third Person? More Like Third Wheel: A Tale of Wobbly Woes
You've just booted up, customized your character to look like a discount Johnny Depp (because who doesn't?), and BAM! You're stuck behind your virtual self like a disapproving parent at a rap concert. Third person feels like you're piloting your character with a pair of oven mitts, everything's a bit...off. Driving is a drunken waltz, gunfights resemble a blindfolded game of pin the tail on the donkey, and let's not even talk about trying to land a plane (spoiler alert: you won't).

Fear Not, Frustrated Felon! The Answer Lies Not in Therapy, But in Buttons.
Hold your horses, trigger-happy amigo. The solution to your existential camera crisis isn't a self-help book or a redecorated apartment. It's a simple button (or two, depending on your level of directional confusion). Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.![]()
- The Select Button Shuffle: Remember that little button nobody ever uses? Turns out, it's your new best friend. Tap it once and you'll zoom out, giving yourself a better view of the mayhem you're about to unleash. Tap it again and bam! First-person mode, baby. Perfect for immersing yourself in the questionable fashion choices of NPCs and getting way too close to exploding barrels. Just remember, depth perception is a luxury in Los Santos, so use this mode with caution.
- The D-Pad Dance: Feeling like a ballerina trapped in a tank? Use the D-pad to cycle through different third-person angles. Close-up for admiring your questionable tattoos, zoomed-out for surveying the carnage, or that awkward over-the-shoulder view that makes you feel like you're walking someone's pet iguana. Experiment, my friend, experiment!

Look, GTA 6's camera might be wonkier than a politician's promises, but hey, that's part of the charm, right?

Plus, nothing beats the satisfaction of accidentally sniping a rival gangbanger while trying to scratch your virtual nose.
So there you have it, folks. Your guide to navigating the treacherous waters of GTA 6's camera. Remember, laughter is the best medicine, especially when you're stuck staring at the back of your character's head while a police helicopter chases you through a pineapple plantation. Now get out there, embrace the janky, and paint Vice City red (or whatever neon abomination they call red these days). Just don't blame me if you end up driving into the ocean trying to change the radio station.
