Sony has officially unveiled two limited-edition Grand Theft Auto VI DualSense controllers featuring Vice City-inspired aesthetics, priced at $84.99 and scheduled for release on Nov. 19 alongside Rockstar’s upcoming game, according to the PlayStation Blog.
Vice City Aesthetics Come to the PS5 Controller
The hardware lineup includes both black and white limited-edition models that incorporate shimmering, color-shifting finishes. According to Sony, the design blends sunset hues with neon blues alongside custom palm tree details molded directly into the plastic. An oversized “VI” graphic takes over the touchpad on both versions.
The white model takes visual cues from Vice City’s beaches, pastel skies, and sunny day-glamor, according to Sony’s official announcement. Meanwhile, the black edition channels the city’s nightlife using the same Florida-style palm trees set against a classically chic PlayStation black finish.
Pricing, Preorders, and Launch Details
Both Grand Theft Auto VI controllers carry a retail price of $84.99, according to Sony. While the manufacturer notes that the gamepads will eventually be available at participating retailers, preorders open first through PlayStation Direct starting on Sept. 10 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET. Eligible orders placed directly through PlayStation will receive free launch-day delivery.
Pro Tip: Exact availability for the hardware will vary by country and region when the items launch on Nov. 19, according to Sony.

Beneath the custom Vice City styling, the hardware remains standard DualSense equipment. According to Sony, the gamepads include haptic feedback and adaptive triggers designed to support players as they progress through Jason and Lucia’s story, though no additional features beyond the new aesthetics are included.
