Horizon Forbidden West has gyro controls Great aim. News by Ed Nightingale News reporter Updated on 17 Feb 2022 33 comments Guerrilla has included gyro controls for aiming in Horizon Forbidden West. They're not on by default though, so you'll need to activate the controls in the settings - you can find "Motion Aiming" in the Controls menu. Considering you'll spend a lot of time in the game aiming with Aloy's bow and arrow, the option of gyro controls is a great addition to the game's suite of accessibility features. Watch on YouTube Gyro controls have become popular for aiming in Nintendo games, in particular Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2. Here's how they look in Horizon: Forbidden West, courtesy of Twitter user hype_domek: I wish you all a happy #HorizonForbiddenWest launch day tomorrow! A quick PSA before you start playing: There's an awesome new gyro aiming option buried deep in the setting menu.It makes aiming SO MUCH EASIER. Please give it a try. It really changed the way I play the game. pic.twitter.com/1VVoHMjjaD- hypedomi (@hype_domek) February 16, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

It also makes Horizon Forbidden West the first PlayStation 5 first party game to include gyro controls since Astro's Playroom.
