Sony revealed two limited-edition DualSense pads inspired by Vice City. Confirmed price, exact pre-order date and where to buy them.
Sony showed them at State of Play and they are exactly what you would expect from a Rockstar collaboration: no logos slapped onto a standard pad. Both models — black and white — use a finish that shifts colour with the angle of the light, blue through violet, mimicking a Vice City sunset gradient.
The two models
DualSense GTA VI Black Limited Edition
The black one captures Vice City at night. Black body with palm-tree texture moulded into the plastic itself — not printed — a blue-violet gradient across the central band, and flamingo-pink action buttons. On the touchpad, the VI logo with palms etched a shade lighter than the background.
DualSense GTA VI White Limited Edition
The white one is daybreak: pale sands, pastel skies and the same iridescent finish across the central sections. Same palm texture, same official branding.

What to know if you plan to pre-order
- "Limited edition" here means genuinely limited. Sony has used this formula before and stock sold out in hours. The 10th at 10:00 is the realistic window.
- $84.99 is about $10 over a standard DualSense. The premium is the finish, not features: internally it is the same pad.
- The game is not included. This is a separate accessory.
One genuinely technical note
Sony used the announcement to note that GTA VI uses the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. That is not exclusive to these editions — any DualSense does it — but it confirms Rockstar has worked on those features, which was not obvious: Red Dead Redemption 2 predates this controller and GTA V never used it.
