Need some help with PS4 controller issue

My PS4 controller is working fine in the Home Screen menu. But as soon as I start some games, the left analog stick just stopped responding, the buttons on the right hand side are working fine.

Games with this problem: FF7 remake and P5R.
Other games are fine.

I tried all sorts of solutions eg: restart, disconnect controller, deleting profile, restore to default etc, and none of the buttons are stuck.

So does anyone have any suggestions?

    Buy a new controller..

  • try it on another ps4 or a computer.

    • I did try on pc, that’s why I know none of the buttons are stuck, they all work fine.

      • When you tried it on PC, did you try something like gamepad tester

        You might be able to see if something is tripping it? I wonder if the deadzone is different for specific games?

        • That’s what I checked, no buttons is stuck or faulty.

    Maybe it's a game issue? Maybe try reinstalling the games.

    Have you tried playing the game with the controller + cable connected to the PS4?

    • I tried cable, no luck. I will try reinstalling the games when I get home.

  • everything up to date?

    • Everything is up to date

    I don't have a PS4, but can you hardwire the controller through usb and see if it's still misbehaving.

    Can you borrow a controller to work out where the fault it coming from?
