GTA 6 Gets Its Own Limited-Edition PS5 Controllers — Here's What They Look Like and How to Get One
Sony has revealed two limited-edition Grand Theft Auto 6 PlayStation 5 controllers during its State of Play livestream, giving fans a first piece of physical GTA 6 hardware to put on the shelf — or in their hands.
The two DualSense controllers, the standard PS5 gamepad, come in black and white colourways. Both feature palm tree leaf detailing and a colour-shifting finish that catches the light at different angles. The game's name is printed on the back, while the touchpad carries Roman numerals for six — "VI" — in the GTA font, with additional palm tree styling. Eurogamer
The controllers are available to order through PlayStation Direct, Sony's first-party online store, on September 10 at 10am local time in each region. Pricing is set at US$84.99, £74.99, €84.99, and ¥12,480 (including tax). For comparison, a standard DualSense controller retails at around US$74.99 in the United States, placing the limited editions at a US$10 premium. Eurogamer
Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19, as announced on Sony's official PlayStation Blog in a post titled "Grand Theft Auto VI plays best on PS5." That same post describes the DualSense controller reacting to player actions — using its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to bring the sights and sounds of the game world directly into the player's hands.

The controller reveal landed during Sony's State of Play broadcast, a recurring livestream format the company uses to showcase upcoming PlayStation titles and hardware. Sony has used the format throughout 2026 to spotlight a range of releases, including a September 24 game from developer Mintrocket that also leverages DualSense features. PlayStation Blog
For fans, the controllers are the first tangible GTA 6 merchandise from either Rockstar or Sony — a physical object tied to a game that, until now, has existed almost entirely as trailers and promotional imagery. The palm tree and colour-shifting motifs echo the sun-soaked, neon-tinged setting of Vice City that Rockstar has showcased in its GTA 6 footage.
With the game under three months from release, expect the September 10 pre-order window to move quickly. PlayStation Direct stock for limited-edition hardware has sold out rapidly in the past, and GTA 6 carries the kind of demand that few franchises can match.
