Sony Interactive Entertainment and Rockstar Games have officially announced two Limited-Edition Grand Theft Auto VI DualSense Wireless Controllers for the PlayStation 5. Designed to coincide with the release of the long-awaited open-world title on November 19, 2026, these controllers bring the sun-soaked, neon-lit aesthetic of Vice City directly into players’ hands.
The reveal occurred during PlayStation’s latest State of Play broadcast, confirming speculation that Sony and Rockstar would collaborate closely on exclusive hardware accessories.
Vice City-Inspired Aesthetics and Build
The upcoming collection features two distinct color options tailored to complement the iconic day-and-night cycles of Leonida:
- GTA VI Black Limited Edition: Formulated to capture the vibrant energy of Vice City’s nightlife, this edition showcases a dark matte shell overlaid with a shimmering, color-shifting finish. Neon accents run along the inner lightbar seams, recreating the glowing signboards of Vice City clubs.
- GTA VI White Limited Edition: Inspired by Vice City at daybreak, this model embodies the white sand beaches and pastel morning skies. It incorporates soft gradient shifts and clean metallic highlights across the main faceplate.
Both models feature custom palm tree artwork molded directly into the grip surface to add a distinct tactile element. Additionally, official Grand Theft Auto VI branding spans the central touchpad, alongside customized action buttons.
Next-Gen Immersion Features
Beyond their visual aesthetics, both controllers leverage the full technological suite of the DualSense hardware to enhance Grand Theft Auto VI‘s gameplay:
- Adaptive Triggers: Provide dynamic physical resistance, mimicking the realistic pull of varying firearm triggers, the tension of high-speed vehicle braking, and throttle pressure during chases.
- Haptic Feedback: Delivers high-precision localized rumble to mirror atmospheric elements, from the texture of gravel and asphalt to heavy weather effects and explosive impacts.
- Integrated Controller Speaker: Plays localized audio cues—such as police dispatch communications, phone calls, and ambient vehicle sound effects—directly through the controller to deepen narrative immersion.
Pricing, Release Date, and Retailer Availability
Both limited-edition controllers will launch alongside the game on November 19, 2026. They carry a recommended retail price of $84.99 USD / €84.99 / £74.99 / ¥12,480.
