GTA 6 PS5 Controller Pre-Order Guide: Price, Release Date, And Editions

Limited edition Grand Theft Auto 6 DualSenses have just been revealed during today's State of Play, and here's everything you need to know if you're looking to pick them up.

Ever since pre-orders for GTA 6 opened up a few months ago, it's been made incredibly clear that PlayStation has the marketing rights for the game. Not only have all the trailers been recorded using a PS5, but both Rockstar and Sony have come out and said that GTA 6 "plays best" on PlayStation.

With that in mind, many have hoped that there would be some kind of limited edition console or accessories to celebrate the launch of GTA 6. Lo and behold, that actually just got confirmed during today's surprisingly stacked State of Play showcase, which confirmed two limited edition DualSenses that have now had more details shared.

Following the controllers being revealed at the State of Play showcase, a PlayStation Blog post gave us a lot more information about the controllers that are sure to instantly sell out. The DualSenses will come in two variants, the Black Limited Edition and White Limited Edition, both featuring custom palm tree details molded into the controller alongside Vice City sunset hues.

Here's where things get interesting. The White Limited Edition controller, which "embodies Vice City at daybreak", will be available in limited quantities globally at PlayStation Direct and "participating retailers". The Black Limited Edition will be available through PlayStation Direct where available and in "other regions through select retailers".

Basically, it sounds like the Black Limited Edition is going to be a bit harder to get your hands on.

As for when you can actually pre-order the controllers, September 10 at 10am local time is when you'll want to mark on your calendar. They'll be releasing alongside the game itself on November 19, but you'll want to put down the asking price of $84.99/ £74.99 in exactly a week's time on September 10.

Now, I probably don't need to tell you that getting your hands on these DualSenses is going to be ridiculously difficult. Expect the PlayStation Direct website to run out incredibly fast and other retailers to be not far behind, so you'll want to be very prepared when that day comes. Don't say we didn't warn you when they end up getting scalped within a few minutes.
