Why Assassin's Creed Odyssey can trigger motion sickness

The camera follows your character through an open world and moves with every fight and chase. The field of view slider has a limited range, so the widest view is capped at 115 percent. Depth of Field blurs distant areas when it is on. Ubisoft's Steam page flags camera comfort as an accessibility feature but does not say which options that covers.

  • Fast camera turns in combat and chases
