Why is it whenever I move my joystick forward in a game my character continues moving even...

You're most welcome! Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

I see, if the issue affects all games it's likely an issue with your controller. This issue is known as 'stick drift' and is usually caused by dirt and debris accumulating in the analog stick mechanism, wear and tear to the mechanism, and physical damage to the stick.

Check the controller for any physical damage, and try using a compressed air can to blow dust and debris away from the analog stick. Also, make sure the controller is up to date:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide, select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Controllers & headsets, and then select the controller you want to update.

On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller. If it says “Update,” select Firmware version, and then follow the steps provided.

If the issue persists, your controller may need to be repaired or replaced. If it's still under warranty, you can request a repair from this page: https://account.microsoft.com/devices/select-device-for-repair

Ok thank you I will have a look at that and thank you for your help

Hi Kyle

I have had problems with stick drift in the past with other companies like PlayStation and it seems to be an ongoing issue for gaming as a whole I don't know if there are any good third party controllers approved by Xbox if there are any please let me know please and thank you

Hi Kian. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Does this only happen in AC Valhalla or are all games affected by this issue?
