Stick drift is the worst! You could also try resetting the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back. If nothing helps, consider contacting Sony support for a replacement if it's under warranty.

I fixed mine by cleaning it with a q-tip and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Be gentle and make sure the controller is off! This solved the issue for me.

Hey, I've been there! First, try cleaning around the stick with some compressed air or rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't work, you might need to recalibrate the controller or update its firmware in the PlayStation settings. Good luck!
