GTA 6 PS5 controllers pre-order September 10

Sony Interactive Entertainment has set September 10 as the pre-order date for two Grand Theft Auto VI-themed DualSense wireless controllers, adding a hardware tie-in ahead of the game’s November 19 release. PlayStation disclosed the accessories in a September 3 PlayStation Blog post, while IGN highlighted the pre-order timing in a September 8 social post. (blog.playstation.com) The rollout gives Rockstar Games’ next title a branded PlayStation accessory timed to the game’s launch window. Both controllers are scheduled to go on sale the same day Grand Theft Auto VI is due to arrive. ### When do pre-orders actually open? September 10 is the start date, and PlayStation said U.S. pre-orders begin at 7:00 a.m. Pacific time and 10:00 a.m. (blog.playstation.com) Eastern time through PlayStation Direct. In the U.K., France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, pre-orders open at 10:00 a.m. local time, according to the company’s blog post. IGN said on September 8 that the controllers would open for pre-order on September 10, echoing Sony’s earlier announcement. The timing matters because Sony described both models as available in limited quantities. (blog.playstation.com) ### What exactly is being sold? Sony said the lineup includes a Grand Theft Auto VI Black Limited Edition and a Grand Theft Auto VI White Limited Edition DualSense wireless controller. The company described the white version as a global limited release through PlayStation Direct and participating retailers, while the black version will be sold through PlayStation Direct where available and through select retailers in other regions. (blog.playstation.com) The PlayStation Blog said the black controller is designed to capture Vice City’s nightlife, while the white version uses a brighter palette tied to the game’s setting. Sony framed both as limited-edition accessories built around the look of Grand Theft Auto VI rather than standard color refreshes. (me.ign.com) ### How much do the controllers cost? The U.S. price is $84.99 each, according to multiple reports that cited Sony’s announcement. Engadget reported the expected price tag at $85, while other coverage of Sony’s reveal listed the exact U.S. retail price at $84.99 for both versions. That pricing puts the accessories above the base DualSense controller tier and closer to other premium or limited-run PlayStation hardware drops. (blog.playstation.com) Sony’s own blog post focused on availability and design, while outside reports filled in the U.S. pricing detail. ### Where will buyers have to go? PlayStation Direct is the main purchase channel named by Sony. (blog.playstation.com) The company said the white controller will also be available at participating retailers, while the black version is more tightly tied to PlayStation Direct in markets where the store operates. Regional availability varies. (engadget.com) Sony listed direct.playstation.com markets separately and said other regions would be served through select retailers, which means buyers outside those countries may need to watch local retail listings rather than Sony’s own storefront. ### Why is November 19 part of the story? (blog.playstation.com) November 19, 2026 is the release date Sony tied to both controllers, and it is also the scheduled launch date for Grand Theft Auto VI. Engadget said both colorways will become available on the same date the game arrives, aligning the accessory launch with Rockstar’s release calendar. Sony also used the announcement to point to game-specific DualSense features, saying haptic feedback and adaptive triggers will respond to the action in Jason and Lucia’s story. (blog.playstation.com) That language positions the controllers as themed hardware timed to the software launch rather than a separate accessory cycle. November 19 is now the next fixed milestone. Sony said pre-orders begin September 10 through PlayStation Direct, and the limited-edition black and white controllers are scheduled to ship when Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19.
