Stick drift is a common issue that can occur on PlayStation 4 controllers, causing the character or camera to move on its own, even when the analog stick is not being touched. Players may encounter this issue while playing any PlayStation 4 game. Not only can stick drift be frustrating, but it can also significantly impact gameplay, making it difficult to play competitively or complete certain tasks.
Before attempting any fixes, it is important to ensure that the issue is, in fact, stick drift and not another problem, such as a faulty connection or software bug. If the issue persists across multiple games and the controller is properly connected, then it is likely stick drift.
