[2022] Xbox Series X controls are awful at times.

Hi all, I’m playing this on Quality Mode on the Xbox Series X and I cannot believe how laggy/unresponsive the controls are.

I’m crouched sneaking along then for no reason my character decides to walk in another direction, climbing up walls your character will go in another direction, you bump into an object and it’s laggy trying to walk around it, it’s like there is a lot of lag when controlling your character. It feels like stick drift at times as well as you are playing the game with loads of video processing enabled on your TV instead of game mode.

I don’t recall Origins or Odyssey being like this, the game is stunning, but controls need to be improved.

I have tried two controllers and it’s the same laggy controls, both controls have been tested for stick drift and no issues.

I have patch 1.5.2

Surely it’s not just me on Series X that experiences this?

Thanks for reading.

Heya there @major_angry , welcome to the forums - thanks so much for reaching out. I understand you've found the controls on a Series X to be slow and unresponsive, which sure sounds frustrating. I've gone ahead and moved your thread over to Player Support, both so that I can respond, and in case any other players are facing similar issues and wish to contribute their thoughts.

As far as I can see, it has not been reported internally that there are unresponsiveness issues on any platform, so I'd like to invite you to check the troubleshooting guide for Series X. In particular, please make sure you've got all software and system updates installed, you've given the console a full power cycle, and you've tried the disconnection step.

If the issue persists, do you have access to another gamepad you could try, at least temporarily for testing?

Lastly, can you tell me if you've noted this lagginess at specific areas of the game, or during specific activities?

Let me know if I can clarify any of those steps or questions
