What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. At menus and in game
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? None because it happens all the time!
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) All the time!!
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Many users including myself are reporting left analog stick drifting. Cannot play the game due to character constantly moving one direction.
What should be happening instead? Not drifting
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. Look at other forums online and you'll see other players are reporting the same issue.
Myself and many other players have zero drift issues with any other games. It's only Apex for some odd reason. I've thoroughly cleaned and tested my controller and everything is fine with it. Runs perfectly with all other games. Also my Xbox one X and controller are brand new. It's very strange and has to be game related. Please fix!!! I want to play!!

Community ManagerHi, @goorinjap
Can you let me know if it's still doing this after the following steps?
- Reset the controller settings in game back to default
- Unplug any devices from the Xbox USB slot
- Try a different controller
- Check to make sure the controller has the latest update under your Xbox Settings
- Perform a power cycle and MAC Address clear
- http://bit.ly/XB1_PowerCycle
- Clear the MAC Address: From the Xbox dashboard select Settings>All Settings>Network>Network Settings>Advanced Settings>Alternate MAC address>Clear, then restart your Xbox.
- If necessary, try reinstalling the game to determine whether it might have been corrupted files. If you're using an external hard drive, move it to the internal hard drive
I tried everything you listed and nothing fixed it. However something strange happened. It's working right now temporarily in game but it's still doing it in the menus or when I press start to go through the menus during gameplay
Tried all of the above I have a brand new Xbox elite series 2 which Microsoft are promoting along side apex and I still have stick drift on linear and look dead zone none and small this is happening on other settings as well not just linear I replaced the original elite because I thought it was faulty and I’m still getting the same on the series 2 and this only happens on apex. Shouldn’t really be happen especially with a brand new controller.
Same issue here only a 2 month old xbox one x controller only does this with apek

Have you tried Movement deadzone Large to fix the Left stick drift?
Have you tried Look deadzone Small or Large to fix the Right stick drift?
*Look deadzone Small is the default and recommended option and you should have no Right stick drift.
I'm playing 1 year and I don't have Right stick drift.If i have Left stick drift i just set Movement deadzone to Large.
