Star Wars Outlaws has finally arrived, and many fans are enjoying the opportunity to role-play a roguish thief navigating a galaxy dominated by the Empire and various criminal organizations. As a result, you'll find yourself in blaster fights more often than you might expect.

Shooting enemies in Star Wars Outlaws is straightforward — just point and shoot. However, controller players often struggle with this. Although the game offers Aim Assist, a controller still doesn’t quite match the precision of a mouse and keyboard. Fortunately, there's another solution waiting for you in the Settings menu.

Does Star Wars Outlaws Have Gyro Aiming?

Gameplay in Star Wars Outlaws becomes much more enjoyable when you can aim properly. This is where Gyro Aiming comes into play. It’s a feature exclusive to controller players, allowing them to use motion control to aim in the game. Not many games support this feature, but those that do make aiming feel incredibly precise.

Star Wars Outlaws is one such game. It supports Gyro Aiming, but players need to enable it manually. Since it's hidden deep within the settings menu, no one would blame you if you couldn't find it.

Star Wars Outlaws only supports Gyro Aiming for DualSense controllers. Xbox controller owners will have to rely on the Right Stick for aiming.
