Rockstar Games and PlayStation Unveil Limited Edition GTA 6 PS5 Controllers
The anticipation surrounding the most highly awaited title in gaming history just hit a new level. During the latest PlayStation State of Play, Sony and Rockstar Games officially pulled back the curtain on a pair of limited-edition GTA 6-themed PS5 controllers, marking a significant milestone in the game’s growing promotional campaign.
A Design Fit for Leonida
The limited-edition hardware will be available in two classic colorways: crisp white and sleek black. Despite the color difference, both controllers share a cohesive, premium aesthetic that leans heavily into the neon-soaked atmosphere of Grand Theft Auto 6.
Key design features include the iconic “VI” logo elegantly engraved directly onto the touchpad, complemented by intricate palm tree etchings etched along the controller’s grips. To tie the look together, each unit features a vibrant neon-purple trim along the bottom half, with the official Grand Theft Auto logo etched onto the rear of the casing.
Pricing and Availability
For collectors and superfans eager to deck out their setup, the controllers are priced at $84.99. Pre-orders are scheduled to go live through PlayStation Direct on September 10. Given the unprecedented levels of consumer demand for anything related to the game, these units are expected to move quickly. Fans who successfully secure a pre-order will have to wait until the official launch of the game on November 19 to get their hands on the hardware.
The Marketing Blitz Continues
The reveal of these controllers follows a rapid escalation in GTA 6 marketing. After years of radio silence from Rockstar, the studio has finally begun to open the floodgates. Last week saw the debut of the game’s first official gameplay footage, alongside exclusive previews granted to select media outlets.
Sony is also doubling down on its partnership with Rockstar, asserting that the PlayStation 5 is the premier platform to experience the game. Sony has confirmed that GTA 6 will utilize the full suite of the DualSense controller’s capabilities, including immersive haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the controller’s built-in speaker. Furthermore, the game will be optimized for the PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech.
While fans had hoped for a dedicated console bundle announcement, none was revealed during the broadcast. As of now, the controllers will remain standalone accessories.
