The wait is finally over!
There are now tools available for both PlayStation and Xbox controllers to recalibrate the thumbsticks.
We wrote this article on understanding thumbstick drift and how it can influence in-game settings earlier this year, and are happy to spread the news of potential at-home solutions for issues everyone experiences.
Follow the links below for our guides on how to recalibrate thumbsticks for both PlayStation and Xbox controllers:
PlayStation 4 and DualSense
Xbox Wireless Controller
Please note that this is not guaranteed to fix stick drift. If your controller's thumbstick mechanisms are too old or too worn down, you most likely should have them replaced instead of using this tool. This tool can only move values to a better position; it cannot bring a physically broken mech back from the dead.
Please read all of the instructions before and during the recalibration process.
