Hi everyone!
Just launched FH5 on ps5.
I can’find an option for steering with controller’s gyroscope and I’m very disappointed about that.
On ps5 it should be a fundamental feature.
Anyone else agree?
Any solution?
Agree 
. I was hoping I could steer like I do with Grant Turismo. Very disappointing
You guys figure this out? It cant be right. How is there no tilt to steer?
I play exclusively with tilt steering in GT7 and cant find the settings to enable it in FH5. I can not drive with thumbsticks. Has anyone found the settings for tilt steering with the controller?
Not possible with an Xbox controller so I doubt they would do that. It may give an unfair advantage. It would be in the advanced controller settings I would imagine if it was possible. Why can’t you drive with thumbsticks out of curiosity? Xbox has a special adaptive controller for people with physical disabilities. I don’t know if Sony has something analogous to that.
tilt to steer is just so natural and normal. I have hundreds of hours in gt7 with tilt to steer. driving with thumbs is awkward.
You may have to readjust. It’s not that hard. Driving in Horizon is nothing like driving in Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport for that matter. Much easier. I’ve played all GT games too.
It just blows my mind that we have a controller that you can turn just like a steering wheel, yet that doesnt work in a game released in 2025?

Xbox 360 had that for Forza Motorsport 4. You needed the camera thing. Never tried it. Dude they constantly remove good features universally loved over and over and over again with every release they take away. Welcome to Forza! There’s no Custom public lobbies in Motorsport since FM4. Can you even imagine if that was removed from GT with no explanation? Why? Just thrown to the wolves in public lobbies with all skill levels. There are private lobbies so why can’t they be listed?
I dont know, but driving in GT7 is SO GOOD. I can feel the car through the controller. I understand its balance point, when it breaks traction, how to correct over steer. I can feel a FWD car losing grip as a take a turn too fast and the tires spin as it attempts to get traction out of a turn if I push it too hard. I can feel the back end come out when I hit a bump while turning. I can FEEL when I need to shift and do that with my thumb while coming out of a turn.
I cant feel any of that when trying to drive a car WITH A STICK. It just makes no sense and shows how GT7 is focused on the experience of driving.
I was excited for this game because I thought I could have something close to that but not be stuck on a track.
I cant drive with a STICK. it makes no sense to my brain. Even driving games on a phone have tilt to steer. Thumbs are not made for driving.

I understand. Hey driving bumper back in the day in GT1 has screwed me up forever. I’m stuck on it. I use hood in multiplayer races. I have a lot of trouble with chase cams and I have tried to change to that multiple times. It’s so unnatural to me looking at a car when driving even all these years later. I remember reading tips about GT. Switch to bumper they said it’s great. Oh well. Horizon is not meant to compete with GT people sometimes think that. Totally different animal. A better Need for Speed solidly in the arcade driving genre.
Yeah I drive in cockpit view. I dont care that I cant see as much, it is more realistic.

Agree with you. I was hoping they did the motion control like gran turismo. Using the controller as a steering is absolutely incredible on gran turismo 7. I don’t see a lot of threads that talk about that though. I’m hoping at some point forza surprises us with an update that included motion control. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hopeful but very doubtful
I agree with you 100%. So much that I bought the Armor X Pro adapter to have motion controls in the Forza Motorsport games I have (5,6,7, and 2023). I took a great deal of time to configure it to be the closest possible to GT7/GT Sports settings for motion control and now I play Forza to my full satisfaction. I have to note that even with full motion controls, GT7 and FM2023 require different tilting strategies to be proficient. In GT7 I feel like the cars are glued to the ground, in FM it feels like the suspension gives more range at all times to a point that on certain cars is “floaty”. But this has nothing to do with the effectivity of the Armor X pro to tilt via gyroscopes. Some people complain about latency, I haven’t experienced any detrimental effect about it, perhaps in FPS games? I haven’t tried those.
I just spent 4 hours downloading this on my PS5, no tilt steering? I thought this was supposed to be a serious racing game? Steering with the little joystick??? - it may as well be outrun on the Megadrive from 1988. Sucks. Microsoft please sort this out…

%100 agree.
Please give us this option, my thumbs are aching when playing after an hour.
