Sony announces GTA VI limited-edition DualSense controllers
Sony has announced two limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers inspired by the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI. Revealed during a State of Play event, the Black and White Limited Editions feature a color-shifting, iridescent finish and molded palm-tree textures to reflect the aesthetic of Vice City. The white edition represents the city's daytime coastal atmosphere, while the black edition captures its neon nightlife. Pre-orders are scheduled to begin on September 10, 2026, with a launch date of November 19, 2026, coinciding with the game's release. The controllers are priced at approximately $84.99, €84.99, or £74.99.
In addition to hardware news, reports suggest Sony is pressuring Rockstar Games to ensure Grand Theft Auto VI meets specific technical criteria for the PS5 Pro Enhanced label. This could include improvements in resolution, frame rate, or ray tracing quality. While some speculate the game could feature 40 or 60 FPS modes on the PS5 Pro, technical limitations regarding the CPU may influence whether higher frame rates are achievable.
Marketing for the title has seen massive success, with an extended gameplay preview on Netflix garnering over 31 million views in just four days. This high viewership has been linked to increased interest in PlayStation and Xbox hardware in certain regions.
