Sony and Rockstar Games have released two limited-edition Grand Theft Auto VI PlayStation 5 controllers during the September 2026 State of Play broadcast, offering a new way to experience the highly anticipated game. The controllers are unveiled in black and white variants, both featuring a striking neon purple sheen surrounding thumbsticks and extending into the grips.

The designs include palm tree etchings on the handles, a 'VI' logo stamped on the touchpad, and the classic Grand Theft Auto logo engraved on the back. Fans can preorder the controllers from September 10 at 10:00 AM ET through PlayStation Direct, with a retail price of $84.99. Their shipment will start around November 19 alongside the game's release.

Controllers are priced at $84.99, $10 more than a standard DualSense. For super fans, it's a way to celebrate the highly awaited game, so they can be worth it. However, on a performance basis, they work exactly like a standard controller.

Ultimately, these special edition accessories do not feature any additional hardware capabilities to justify the extra price tag beyond their aesthetic appeal. Gamers looking for purely functional upgrades may want to stick with the standard models, while collectors will likely find the unique design elements a worthy addition to their setups.
