Additional controls settings
The Controls menu has a number of options thanks to which you can customize it to your needs. The most important of them are:
- Change the controls' layout to one that better suits your preferences.
- Enable/disable breaking the lock-on with the right analog stick. You can also enable switching between locking-on different targets.
- Reverting X and Y axis - among the separate options, you can change the axis traveling on foot and controlling the ship.
- Enabling/disabling vibrations and adaptive triggers (this option is only available on PS5) for better immersion.
- Setting the right analog stick sensitivity when looking around - you can change the sensitivity for the X-axis and Y-axis separately.
