Request: Full Gyroscope Aiming Support and Auto-Calibration Toggle

Dear Dev team,

 

I’m a PlayStation player and a big fan of first-person shooters. I truly appreciate developers who implement gyroscope aiming — it’s a modern, precise, and comfortable mechanic that significantly enhances controller gameplay, especially for players who are physically disabled.

 

I’d like to share a suggestion regarding future gyroscope support in your game. In Battlefield, for example, gyroscope aiming is technically present in the latest alpha versions (such as BF6), but it’s currently non-functional. I’d love to see a fully developed and customizable implementation of gyroscope aiming — similar to how it works in Fortnite, THE FINALS, or Call of Duty.

 

Most importantly, I’d love to see:

 

  • An option to disable gyroscope auto-calibration. This system is built into PlayStation controllers and often interferes with small, precise movements — such as when using sniper rifles or trying to control recoil. While it can’t be disabled at the system level, some games successfully disable it within their own engine (e.g., Fortnite).
  • Comprehensive customization options — sensitivity, acceleration, input threshold, inversion, and more — just like in the titles mentioned above.

 

 

Features like these show care for detail and greatly improve the controller experience for many players.

 

Thank you for your work — I hope this feedback is useful!

 

Sincerely,

Artem Rolar Horun

 

P.S. I played the BF alpha and it was awesome.

    I don't have a problem with the idea, I think one of the reasons it wasn't implemented in 2042 is because Xbox controllers don't have the ability to do Gyro aiming (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

    This is pretty interesting, I never knew this was a thing until now.

  • I really, really hope BF6 will have native gyro aiming on PS5 and PC.  I'm a father now, started with BF1942 with mouse+keyboard. But now I play with my kids on the couch in the living room on our three PS5s. I suck at stick aiming, but gyro aim is just perfect. I feels like holding the gun. My kids learned gyro aiming in 1 or 2 days, it's absolutely intuitive and precise. We need no aim assist on controller. Please give us gyro aiming, no gyro no buyro.

  • Yeah, gyro aiming is a must have in modern gaming. It gives me way more control compared to aim assist, which can feel clunky and awkward. With gyro, I can actually keep up with mouse and keyboard players and that really matters now with so many games being crossplay, like the Finals, Helldivers, and Cod.
