How to enable first person view on Xbox Series X
Red Dead Redemption 2 supports first-person view on Xbox Series X as a backward-compatible title with enhanced performance. Switch to first-person mode anytime during gameplay without menu access. This feature immerses players in Arthur Morgan’s perspective for exploration and combat.
Switch to First Person
Hold down the View button (two stacked rectangles left of the Xbox button) to open the radial menu. Use the right stick to highlight “1st Person” in the top-right section, then release to toggle the view.
Switch Back to Third Person
Repeat the process: Hold View button, select “3rd Person” from the same radial menu, and release. Camera snaps immediately with no loading delay.
Additional Tips
Toggle anytime on foot or horseback, but some cutscenes stay in third-person. Adjust FOV in Settings > Graphics > First Person Mode for wider visibility if needed.
How to toggle first person in specific Xbox games
Toggling first-person view varies by Xbox game, often using controller buttons like the right stick, View button, or D-pad. Many titles let you switch mid-gameplay for immersion. Check each game’s settings for camera options or keybinds.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Hold the View button to open the radial camera menu, then use the right stick to select “1st Person” and release. Repeat to return to third-person view.
Grounded
Assign a button like Y in Settings > Controls for camera toggle. Press the assigned button (e.g., Y) during gameplay to switch between first- and third-person.
The Sims 4
Select your Sim, then press down on the right stick (RS click). This activates first-person camera; repeat to exit.
Anno 117: Pax Romana
Enter the Konami Code on D-pad: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. Hold RB and adjust right stick for first/third-person switch.
ARK
Hold the View (Select) button to open the view wheel, then select first-person option. Settings may allow third-person toggling.
