Sony has revealed two limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers inspired by Grand Theft Auto VI. The new controllers were unveiled during the September 3 State of Play presentation and are designed around the distinctive visual style of Vice City.
The two versions are called the DualSense Wireless Controller – Grand Theft Auto VI Black Limited Edition and the DualSense Wireless Controller – Grand Theft Auto VI White Limited Edition.
Both controllers are scheduled to launch on November 19, the same date Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to arrive, and pre-orders will begin September 10.
Two GTA 6 DualSense Controllers Announced
The new controllers are designed to capture two different sides of the Vice City setting.
The Black Limited Edition focuses on the atmosphere of Vice City's nightlife, while the White Limited Edition draws inspiration from the city's daytime environment, including its beaches, pastel colors and coastal style.
Both versions feature a shimmering, color-shifting finish designed to reflect the colors of a Vice City sunset and the glow of its neon lights.
The controllers also feature molded palm tree details directly on the controller. Official Grand Theft Auto VI branding is included as part of the design.
GTA 6 Black Limited Edition DualSense
The Black Limited Edition is designed around the look and energy associated with Vice City's nightlife.
According to PlayStation, this version will be available in limited quantities exclusively through direct.playstation.com where available, with select retailers offering the controller in other regions.
The black finish gives the controller a darker appearance while retaining the color-shifting effect used across both editions.
GTA 6 White Limited Edition DualSense
The White Limited Edition takes a different approach.
Its design represents Vice City during the day, with inspiration drawn from white sands, pastel skies and the city's relaxed coastal atmosphere.
The White Limited Edition will be available in limited quantities through direct.playstation.com and participating retailers around the world.
The two controllers therefore provide different visual interpretations of the same Grand Theft Auto VI setting.
DualSense Features in Grand Theft Auto VI
The special designs are not the only connection between the controllers and Grand Theft Auto VI.
The standard DualSense features are also designed to work with the game.
Grand Theft Auto VI will use the DualSense wireless controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to provide responses to gameplay events.
Haptic feedback can provide physical sensations through the controller, while adaptive triggers can change resistance depending on what is happening in the game.
PlayStation says these features will help bring the sights, sounds and sensations of Jason and Lucia's story to the player's hands.
GTA 6 DualSense Release Date
Both limited-edition controllers are scheduled to launch on November 19.
Pre-orders begin September 10 at 10:00 AM local time in supported regions.
In the United States, pre-orders through direct.playstation.com begin at 7:00 AM PT and 10:00 AM ET.
PlayStation also lists 10:00 AM local time for the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
In Portugal, pre-orders will be available through the PlayStation hardware store.
Availability is limited, so the controllers may not be available in every market.
GTA 6 DualSense Price
PlayStation has announced the following recommended retail prices for both limited-edition controllers:
- $84.99 USD
- ¥12,480 including tax
- €84.99
- £74.99
The Black and White Limited Editions have the same recommended retail pricing.
Local pricing and availability may vary depending on the region and retailer.
When Does Grand Theft Auto VI Release?
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19.
The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida and returns players to Vice City.
The new limited-edition DualSense controllers are therefore timed to arrive alongside the highly anticipated game.
For players planning to experience Grand Theft Auto VI on PS5, the controllers offer an option to match the console setup with the game's Vice City-inspired visual identity.
Which GTA 6 DualSense Controller Should You Choose?
The choice between the two designs mainly comes down to appearance.
The Black Limited Edition is aimed at the darker and more energetic atmosphere of Vice City's nightlife. The White Limited Edition represents the brighter daytime side of the city, with its coastal and pastel-inspired styling.
Both controllers share the same core DualSense design and the same recommended retail price.
For collectors, owning both versions would provide two different interpretations of the game's setting.
