Sony announced two limited edition GTA VI DualSense controllers on 3 September 2026, one black and one white, at $84.99 in the US. Pre-orders opened 10 September and both ship on 19 November, the game's launch day, in limited quantities. The black one is sold only through PlayStation Direct where it operates; the white one also goes through participating retailers. Neither is bundled with the game or a console in Sony's announcement.

| US retailers including Best Buy and GameStop ran out quickly, with long waits on the PlayStation Store | Reported by GamingBolt (neither colour is singled out) | GamingBolt, 11 Sep 2026 |
| Resale on eBay around $140 | Reported by Games.gg | Games.gg, September 2026 |
| Current stock today | Not checked | PlayStation Direct could not be read on 2 Oct 2026 |
Check the seller before paying a resale price: the controllers do not ship until 19 November, so a listing that promises same-week delivery is not what Sony announced.
What is the same and what differs
| Attribute | Black Limited Edition | White Limited Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Finish | Color-shifting, Vice City nightlife look (Sony) | Color-shifting, Vice City daybreak look (Sony) |
| Branding | Official GTA VI branding and molded palm tree details | Same |
| Sold at | PlayStation Direct (selected retailers outside it) | PlayStation Direct and participating retailers |
Sony describes them as DualSense controllers with the standard feature set, not the DualSense Edge (SlashGear, Reported). Whether it is worth $10 over a standard pad is a question of looks alone on those facts; Sony states no functional difference.
What changes this page
A restock, a new region or a price change from Sony is added with its date. The pad is for PS5, so storage and the editions and pre-order terms are the other purchases to plan; the PS5 features page covers what PlayStation lists for the game.
