It’s 2026. Why Does Apex Legends Still Not Have Gyro Aiming on PS5?
Respawn, what is going on?
It’s honestly frustrating that after all these years, Apex Legends still doesn’t support gyro aiming on PlayStation 5, despite the DualSense controller having a built-in gyroscope since launch.
Games like Call of Duty and Fortnite have shown exactly how good gyro aiming can be. It gives players another legitimate way to aim, improves precision without relying solely on aim assist, and makes controller gameplay feel far more modern. It isn’t some experimental feature anymore—it’s an expected accessibility and input option in 2026.
Apex is one of the most competitive shooters on the market, yet it feels like it’s falling behind in this area. Every year the community asks for gyro aiming, and every year there’s silence. Why?
What makes this even more disappointing is that many players don’t even want stronger aim assist—we want more control. Gyro rewards skill, practice, and precision. If Fortnite and Call of Duty can implement it successfully, why can’t Apex?
This isn’t asking for a new Legend, a new map, or a massive gameplay overhaul. It’s a controller input option that countless players have been requesting for years.
Please stop ignoring this feedback.
Implement a proper gyro aiming system similar to Call of Duty and Fortnite, with options such as:
- Gyro always on or only while aiming.
- Adjustable sensitivity.
- Flick stick support (optional).
- Full customization for acceleration, smoothing, and dead zones.
- The ability to combine gyro with stick aiming.
Apex Legends deserves modern controller features, and its players deserve to have the choice.
We’ve waited long enough. Please listen to your community and finally bring gyro aiming to Apex Legends on PS5.
