PlayStation Reveals Official GTA 6 DualSense Controller Ahead of November Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Sony has announced an official GTA 6 themed DualSense controller featuring Vice City aesthetics, launching alongside the game on November 19 for $84.
Sony is giving Grand Theft Auto 6 the full platform treatment. During a recent State of Play broadcast, the company announced an official GTA 6 themed DualSense wireless controller for the PlayStation 5. Designed to capture the luxury and aesthetic of Vice City, the limited edition peripheral sports a clean black and white colorway accented with glossy purple highlights, subtle palm tree etchings, and a prominent VI logo stamped across the touchpad. Pre-orders are live now through Sony and major retailers ahead of its November 19 launch alongside the game, retailing for $84.
Beyond the cosmetic appeal, picking up fresh hardware might be a practical necessity for marathon sessions. With rumors pointing toward the return of L3 sprinting in a massive campaign expected to span dozens of hours, standard analog sticks are bound to take a serious beating. Fortunately, the gamepad will fully utilize built in PS5 features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, meaning players will feel the unique resistance and tactile punch of Vice City's vehicle roster and weaponry right in their hands.
While Sony stopped short of revealing a dedicated custom console bundle during the presentation, treating a third party blockbuster with this level of first party hardware support speaks volumes. As developers roll out targeted enhancements for the PS5 Pro, matching the ultimate open world experience with specialized gear feels like an easy win for collectors. Whether you are upgrading worn out sticks or just locking down your preorder early, the hardware race for November has officially begun.
