A quick fix for stick drift is to gently clean around the base of the analog stick with compressed air or a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. It can clear out any dirt causing the drift.

Firstly, try resetting your PS5 controller by using a pin to press the reset button on the back. If that doesn鈥檛 help, go into your controller settings and recalibrate the analog sticks; it often resolves drift issues.

I had this problem too! What worked for me was updating the controller's firmware. Go into the settings, check for updates, and it might just fix your drift issues!

Honestly, if it's really bad, just get a new controller from Sony or a retailer. Sometimes fixing it yourself just doesn't cut it.
