GTA 6 PS5 controller: the GTA VI DualSense editions
Sony makes the only official GTA 6 controllers: the DualSense Wireless Controller, Grand Theft Auto VI Black Limited Edition and White Limited Edition. Both launch on November 19, 2026, the same day as the game, at a recommended $84.99, £74.99, €84.99 or ¥12,480. Microsoft has not announced a GTA VI Xbox controller.
Sony showed both pads at its September 3, 2026 State of Play. Each has a shimmering, color-shifting finish meant to mix a Vice City sunset with neon, palm tree details molded into the shell and official Grand Theft Auto VI branding. The White edition is the daytime version, the Black edition the nightlife one.
They are standard DualSense controllers inside: the PlayStation Blog describes the same haptic feedback and adaptive triggers as any DualSense and lists no extra buttons or features. Any DualSense, or a DualSense Edge, plays GTA 6 on PS5 exactly the same; these are for collectors and for anyone who wants the pad to match the game.
Where you can buy them is the part that differs. Sony says the White edition is sold in limited quantities worldwide at direct.playstation.com and at participating retailers. The Black edition is limited too, and sold only through direct.playstation.com where that store operates (the US, the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg); in other regions it goes through select retailers. Pre-orders opened on September 10, and Sony offers free launch-day delivery on eligible PlayStation Direct pre-orders.
On Xbox, there is no GTA VI edition of the Xbox Wireless Controller: Microsoft has not announced one, and the game plays on any Xbox Series X or S controller. If you are still choosing a console, the console guide compares PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X and S for GTA 6, and the editions page covers what else Rockstar sells for launch, including the Vice City Collection box.
