Why Sky: Children of the Light can trigger motion sickness
In Open Wing mode you can dive, rise, flip and turn at will, and the camera follows every move. Your eyes see that swooping while your inner ear feels you holding still, and that mismatch is what motion sickness is. Motion blur smears the image during fast turns, so switching it off removes one layer. Lower-power devices also run at 20 or 30 fps, which makes quick camera moves look choppier.
- Open Wing flight: diving, rising, flipping and turning swing the camera around
- Motion blur, if you leave it on
- Low frame rates on lower-power devices, which run at 20 or 30 fps

Comfort settings in Sky: Children of the Light
Sky: Children of the Light has no field of view control.
The community wiki's Gear menu list has no field of view slider. It offers motion blur and frame rate options under Graphics and camera inversion under Control, but nothing that calms the flight camera. If flight is what bothers you, change how you fly, not what you set.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Motion blur | Gear menu > Graphics | Turn it off |
| Graphics mode (frame rate) | Gear menu > Graphics | If your device supports it, pick High Performance Mode (60 fps) for smoother camera movement. The wiki says the lower modes help preserve battery, so expect more battery use here |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

What helps beyond the settings

- Stop at the first queasy signal and look at something far away until it passes

Frequently asked questions
Does Sky have a motion sickness setting?
One. Tap the Gear icon in the top right corner, open Graphics and turn Motion Blur off. The community wiki's settings list has no field of view slider, camera shake or head bob option.
Why does flying in Sky make me feel sick?
Open Wing mode lets you dive, rise, flip and turn at will, and the camera follows. Your eyes see the swooping while your inner ear feels you holding still. Closed Wing mode flies more like walking with the D-Pad. Switch to it with the Wing Mode icon, or walk, and keep flights short.
Does a higher frame rate help in Sky?
A higher frame rate makes camera movement smoother, which is worth trying if flights bother you. Devices that support it offer a High Performance Mode at 60 fps in the Graphics settings. Lower-power devices top out at 30 fps. The wiki says the lower modes help preserve battery.
