There are a few potential causes for your PS4 controller drifting, and it can be difficult to determine which one is causing the issue. Here are some tips to help you troubleshoot and fix the drift:

  1. Check that your controller is charged. If your controller isn’t charging, it may not have enough power to stay connected to the PS4.
  2. Make sure that your PlayStation 4 is connected to the internet and that you have an active subscription to PlayStation Plus or a similar service. If you don’t have an active subscription, your controller may not be able to access features like online multiplayer or game updates.
  3. Try resetting your PS4 by pressing and holding down the power button for 10 seconds until the console powers off completely. This will erase all of your data and settings, so make sure you want to do this before proceeding. After resetting your PS4, try connecting your controller again and see if the drift problem persists. If none of these tips work, it may be time for a new PlayStation 4 controller or a repair kit from Sony Support. ..
