In a recent Sony State of Play livestream, two exclusive Grand Theft Auto 6-themed PS5 DualSense controllers were unveiled. The controllers will be released in two colours – black and white – and are adorned with palm tree leaf designs and a special colour-changing finish. Additionally, the touchpads feature the iconic GTA font with Roman numerals for six and further palm tree motifs, while the game’s name is inscribed on the back.
Limited Edition Details and Pricing
Set to hit PlayStation Direct for pre-order on 10th September at 10am local time in each region, these controllers are priced at $84.99 USD, ¥12,480 (inclusive of tax), €84.99, and £74.99. However, the exact number of units available has not been disclosed. If past trends of limited edition PlayStation hardware are any indicator, such as the sold-out 30th anniversary bundle, these controllers are expected to be in high demand.
