Sony and Rockstar are marking the arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6 with two limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers, one black and one white, both dripping in Vice City styling. They carry a color-shifting finish, molded palm tree details, the “VI” logo on the touchpad, and the Grand Theft Auto franchise logo on the back.
Quick answer: Pre-order either controller from September 10 through PlayStation Direct in supported regions. Each costs $84.99 / £74.99 / €84.99 / ¥12,480 (tax included) and ships on November 19, the same day GTA 6 launches.
Pre-orders open: September 10, 2026 at 7:00am PT / 10:00am ET (10:00am local time in listed European regions)
Price by region
Both the black and white editions carry the same price, which sits a little above a standard DualSense. Here is what each version costs across regions.
| Region | Price |
|---|---|
| United States | $84.99 |
| United Kingdom | £74.99 |
| Europe | €84.99 |
| Japan | ¥12,480 (tax included) |
Pre-order timing and where to buy
Pre-orders go live on September 10 at 10:00am local time in most supported regions, with the U.S. window opening at 7:00am PT / 10:00am ET. In most of these markets you order through PlayStation Direct, while Portugal uses the PlayStation hardware store instead.
| Region | Pre-order start | Where |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Sept 10, 7:00am PT / 10:00am ET | direct.playstation.com |
| UK, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg | Sept 10, 10:00am local time | direct.playstation.com |
| Portugal | Sept 10 | playstation.com/store/hardware |
Outside of PlayStation Direct, both controllers are expected to reach participating retailers, though the specific stores have not been named yet.
How to pre-order through PlayStation Direct
You will know the pre-order went through when you receive an order confirmation. The controller then ships to arrive on or around its November 19 release date.
What the controllers look like
The two designs are built around Vice City, with the black edition leaning into the city’s nightlife and the white one echoing bright days along the coast. Both share a shimmering, color-shifting finish that blends sunset hues with a neon glow.
- Palm tree details molded directly into the controller for a textured, tactile feel
- The “VI” Roman numerals in the GTA font on the touchpad, with palm tree styling
- Pink accents on the D-pad and face buttons
- A purple pearlescent material through the center
- Official Grand Theft Auto VI branding, with the franchise logo on the back
How limited they really are
These are being sold for a limited time and in limited quantities globally. Sony has not put a number on how many exist, and its limited runs have gone both ways in the past. Some, like the 30th anniversary bundle, sold out in seconds, while others lingered in stock. Given the scale of GTA 6’s rollout, treat these as likely to move fast and plan to be at checkout when pre-orders open.
One quirk worth flagging: GTA 6 is not getting a physical disc release, so these controllers are among the few tangible pieces of launch hardware tied to the game. If you want the black one, the white one, or both on release day, the September 10 pre-order window is the moment to act.
