  4. Scroll down to find the Motion Aiming option. By default, it should be Off change it to On.
  5. Once you enable Motion Aiming you can start using Gyro controls.

Best Gyro Settings

These are my recommendations of the best Gyro settings that you can use in Horizon Forbidden West.

  • Motion Aiming Inverted Y-axis: Normal
  • Motion Aiming X-axis mode: Yaw.
    • Yaw: Turns the camera in either direction when you yaw or turn it in that direction.
    • Roll: Turns the camera left or right based on which direction you rolled your controller.
    • Both Yaw and Roll: You can turn the camera by both yawing or rolling the controller.
  • And lastly, Motion Aiming Sensitivity for X-axis, Y-axis, & Concentration mode: Keep it Low. I suggest low because higher sensitivity might disrupt your aim with minor unintentional hand movements.

That sums up this guide on how to enable & use Gyro aiming in Horizon Forbidden West in PS4 & PS5, and the best settings for it. I also suggest you check our controls & buttons guide and performance vs quality mode comparison. You can also search our other Horizon Forbidden West guides to get help on other topics.
