Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Security Breach turns the series into a free-roam game: you explore a huge mall at night as a first-person survivor, hiding and sneaking from animatronics. On PC, PCGamingWiki says in-game field of view options are not available, and lists a community mod as the way to change it. Steel Wool's patch notes mention a Video Options menu but no field of view, head bob or camera shake setting.

Why Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach can trigger motion sickness
The Pizzaplex is large, the corridors are tight, and the game keeps you moving between hiding spots, so your eyes see constant movement while your inner ear feels you sitting still. That mismatch is what motion sickness is. The game also changes the field of view when you sprint or hide, which PCGamingWiki says breaks when you set a value yourself. Players have also reported that the security camera feeds, with their low frame rate and flashing background, make them queasy.
- A fixed field of view that also shifts when you sprint or hide
- Head bob while you walk, which a community mod can remove
- Security camera feeds with a low frame rate and flashing background, as players report

Comfort settings in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach has no field of view control.
There is no in-game field of view slider on PC, according to PCGamingWiki, and the patch notes list no head bob or camera shake toggle. PCGamingWiki points to the Camera Utilities for Security Breach mod, which it says gives granular field of view control and optional head bob removal. That is an unofficial route, so back up your saves and use it offline.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Mouse sensitivity | In-game settings | Lower it so turns are slower. PCGamingWiki lists it as natively supported |

What helps beyond the settings
- Stop in a quiet spot between objectives and look at something still and far away until queasiness passes
- Sit further from the screen so the picture fills less of your view
- Keep sessions short, and avoid long stretches of the security camera feeds if the flashing bothers you

Frequently asked questions
Does Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach have an FOV slider?
Not on PC. PCGamingWiki says in-game field of view options are not available and lists the field of view as changeable only through a community mod or a console command. Steel Wool's patch notes mention more granular Video Options and a Stealth Indicator toggle, not a field of view slider.
Can I turn off head bob in Security Breach?
Not in the settings that Steel Wool documents. PCGamingWiki says the Camera Utilities for Security Breach mod includes optional head bob removal, along with field of view control. It is a third-party mod, so use it at your own risk and keep a backup of your saves.
Why does Security Breach make me feel sick?
It is a first-person free-roam game, so the view moves as you sneak, run and hide, and the field of view shifts when you sprint. Your eyes see that movement while your inner ear feels none of it. A 2021 Steam post also says the security camera feeds cause it. Lower your sensitivity, take breaks and look at something far away when it starts.
