How to Turn Off Motion Control on Your Nintendo Switch
Last updated
Ever find yourself mid-game on your Nintendo Switch, and suddenly, the screen goes haywire because you moved a little? That’s motion control in action. Let’s dive into how you can turn off motion control on your Nintendo Switch.
So, you’re looking to make your gaming experience a bit more stable by turning off motion control on your Switch. Good news! It’s quite straightforward.
Turning Motion Control Off in a Few Easy Steps
First, here’s the short answer: To turn off motion control, you’ll usually need to do this within the game’s settings itself, as the Nintendo Switch does not have a system-wide setting for motion controls. Most games will offer this option under their ‘Settings’ or ‘Controls’ menu.
Each game on the Switch can have different menus and options, but generally, you’ll navigate to the main menu of the game you’re playing, look for ‘Settings’ or ‘Controls,’ and there should be an option to disable motion controls. Remember, this feature is game-specific, so you’ll need to do it for each game that utilizes motion control.
