Grand Theft Auto 6 Is Getting a Pair of Limited Edition PS5 Controllers

Rockstar Games and PlayStation have unveiled two limited edition Grand Theft Auto 6-themed PS5 controllers. During the PlayStation State of Play, this unexpected news about GTA 6 surfaced. Both controllers, one in white and the other in black, share the same core design - the VI logo engraved on the touchpad and palm tree etchings around the controller grips.

The Grand Theft Auto logo is etched onto the back and the controllers possess a sleek, neon purple trim around the bottom half. Pre-orders for these controllers will open on PlayStation Direct on September 10, but they will not be available until the game's release on November 19. Priced at $84.99, these controllers are likely to sell out quickly due to high demand.

This news comes as GTA 6's marketing intensifies. Last week, Rockstar revealed the first gameplay footage of GTA 6 and invited select media, including IGN, for previews. Fans have been eagerly waiting due to Rockstar's extended periods of silence, but GTA 6's November release date seems to be a significant step forward. PlayStation has also highlighted that GTA 6 will "play best" on PS5 and will feature exclusive features for the console.

The game will utilize DualSense controller's speakers, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the console's Tempest 3D AudioTech. While there's no confirmed console bundle, the announcement of these controllers seems to suggest it. This announcement comes as part of the latest showcase from PlayStation. For the full details of everything announced during Sony's State of Play on September 2026, check out IGN's broadcast.
