PEAK Game Motion Sickness Fix Guide
If you're getting motion sickness while playing PEAK, this has been affecting a lot of people. There are no built-in settings to turn off camera bobbing or FOV zoom right now, but a few small tweaks can still help at least reduce nausea.
Known Motion Sickness Triggers in PEAK
Camera Bobbing
The camera sways noticeably when walking, even on flat ground. This cannot be turned off in settings and is currently part of the core movement system.
Climbing FOV Zoom
When you climb, the camera zooms in and shifts, which can add to the discomfort. This also cannot be changed through game settings at this time.
Workaround Tips to Reduce Motion Sickness
Max Out Your FOV
Go into your video settings and set the FOV to the highest possible value. This can reduce the "tunnel vision" effect that makes things worse.
Limit Your Session Time
Try playing in shorter bursts. Play for 1-2 hours at most and then pause and take some time outside.
Take Regular Breaks
Look away from the screen every 15 to 20 minutes. Even a 30-second break can help reset your balance.
Use an External Frame Cap
If you're using a monitor with high refresh rate, try capping the frame rate to match your monitor (or lower). This can reduce motion blur and screen tearing.
Sit Back or Play on Larger Screens
Avoid sitting close to your screen. Playing from a bit further away or on a larger monitor can reduce the perceived sway.
Watch for Mods (Eventually)
Players have speculated that a mod might eventually disable camera bobbing, similar to what REPO players used. There’s no mod yet, but keep an eye on modding forums or Nexus Mods in the future.
Final Blurb
PEAK has no native options for disabling camera sway or FOV zoom in settings natively, which makes motion sickness hard to avoid if you're sensitive.
Your best bet for now is tweaking your setup and limiting playtime, or crossing your fingers for a modder with a strong stomach.
