Sony revealed two GTA VI-themed DualSense Wireless Controllers during its September 2026 State of Play, positioning them as premium PS5 accessories tied to Grand Theft Auto VI’s November 19 release, a game that requires a high-end graphics card. The Black and White Limited Editions both use a shimmering, color-shifting finish referencing Vice City’s sunset and neon palette, alongside palm tree detailing molded directly into the controller shell. Pricing sits at $84.99, a step above a standard DualSense controllers that start around $74.00.
DualSense Design Details: Black and White Editions
The White Limited Edition draws from Vice City’s daytime look, built around white sands and pastel skies, while the Black Limited Edition leans into the city’s nightlife aesthetic.
Both controllers carry official GTA VI branding on the touchpad and retain the standard DualSense’s haptic feedback and adaptive trigger hardware, meaning the collectible finish doesn’t come at the cost of functionality.
This means that you are not just adding more money to your gaming setup but also getting the ambience and feel it deserves.
Pre-Order Window Opens September 10 via PlayStation Direct
Pre-orders begin September 10 at 7:00 am PT/10:00 am ET in the US, and 10:00 am local time across the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Sony is routing sales primarily through direct.playstation.com, while Portugal is directed to the PlayStation Store’s hardware section instead.
Availability is described as limited, and the Black Limited Edition is exclusive to PlayStation Direct in regions where that storefront operates, narrowing the buying options compared to a typical PS5 accessory launch.
Release Timed to GTA VI’s November 19 Launch
Both controllers launch November 19, the same day Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on PS5.
Exact regional launch dates and stock availability may vary by country. The pairing follows a pattern Sony has used before, releasing hardware alongside major first-party or high-profile third-party titles to drive day-one accessory demand.
For now, no retailers outside PlayStation’s own storefronts have confirmed stock, leaving direct.playstation.com as the primary, and for the Black edition, the only, confirmed purchase path.
