GTA 6 Drifting: From Donut Dilettante to Drifting Deity (PS4 Controller Edition)
So, you've snagged a copy of GTA 6, huh? Congrats! You're about to enter a neon-soaked world where the laws of physics are as flexible as a politician's morals. And what better way to express your vehicular defiance than by mastering the art of the drift? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to turn Los Santos (or Carcer City, who knows?) into a smoky playground.
Step 1: Embrace the Analog Stick, Your New Drifting Deity
Forget those fancy racing wheels and foot pedals. In GTA 6, your trusty PS4 controller is your temple to tire-slaying. Picture the left analog stick as your soul, the right stick as your wild side. Now, press the gas like you're outrunning a flock of angry ostriches, and gently nudge that left stick in the opposite direction of the turn. Boom! You're in a drift, my friend.

QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.![]()
Just holding the stick sideways won't cut it, rookie. You gotta counter-steer, baby! As your car starts to straighten out, flick the stick back towards the turn. It's like a dance with an angry shopping cart, only way cooler (and hopefully less likely to result in a bruised shin).
Step 2: Befriend the Handbrake, Your Drifting Sensei
The handbrake, that often-forgotten button, is your secret weapon. A quick tap while drifting throws your car sideways like a rogue supermarket trolley. Hold it down too long, and you'll be doing donuts faster than Homer Simpson at a Krusty Burger buffet. Practice, grasshopper, and soon you'll be handbrake-flicking your way through corners like a drift-touched ballerina.

Subheading: Bonus Tip: The E-Brake Doesn't Judge (Much)
Need a quick drift fix in a tight spot? Don't be shy, mash that e-brake like you're playing air guitar to a Slayer solo. Just remember, it's like a nitro boost for your drift - powerful, but use it too much and you'll be spinning like a top on ice.
Step 3: Find Your Drifting Nirvana (aka Practice Makes Perfect)
Tip: The details are worth a second look.![]()
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was your drifting prowess. Hit the streets, alleys, and even that weird half-finished highway out in the desert. Practice on every corner, every roundabout, until you can drift through them blindfolded (not recommended, actually). Remember, every wall you kiss, every lamppost you hug, is a lesson learned (and hopefully not a totaled car).
Subheading: Bonus Tip: Embrace the Chaos!
GTA 6 isn't a driving simulator, it's a vehicular circus act. Don't be afraid to get creative! Drift around cops, through construction zones, even off that ridiculously tall Ferris wheel (we won't judge... much). The more outrageous, the more epic your drifts become.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.![]()
And there you have it, folks! Your crash course to GTA 6 drifting mastery (PS4 controller edition). Now go forth, shred some rubber, and paint the streets with the smoke of your rebellion. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility... and a slightly higher insurance premium.
P.S. If you see a neon pink car with flames that looks suspiciously like it was driven by a tipsy unicorn, it might just be me. Come say hi, and we'll trade epic drift stories (and maybe some spare tires).
