Hold onto your hats, gamers! The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 is almost over, and to celebrate (and capitalize on) the hype, Rockstar Games and PlayStation have officially unveiled a pair of limited-edition PS5 controllers themed after Vice City’s neon-soaked landscape. This collaboration promises to be a must-have for dedicated GTA fans.
A Touch of Vice in Your Hands
During the recent PlayStation State of Play, we got a glimpse of these exclusive controllers. One boasts a sleek white finish, while the other rocks a classic black aesthetic. Both feature the iconic “VI” logo elegantly etched into the touchpad, surrounded by subtle palm tree engravings that evoke the game’s tropical setting. The Grand Theft Auto logo is also subtly embossed on the back, and a vibrant neon purple trim adds a final touch of Vice City flair.
Pre-orders for these highly anticipated controllers will open on September 10th through PlayStation Direct. However, given the immense popularity of the GTA franchise, expect them to sell out incredibly fast. The price point is set at $84.99, a premium reflecting their limited availability and collector’s appeal.
Gameplay Details Emerge as Marketing Intensifies
This announcement comes on the heels of Rockstar Games ramping up its marketing campaign for GTA 6. Last week, we finally saw the first gameplay footage of the game, and select media outlets, including IGN, were even invited to participate in exclusive previews. After years of speculation and radio silence from Rockstar, the November release date is now firmly locked in, bringing a wave of excitement across the gaming community.
PS5 Gets the Exclusive Treatment
PlayStation has been vocal about GTA 6 being designed to “play best” on the PS5. The game will leverage the console’s advanced features, including the DualSense controller’s speakers, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the immersive Tempest 3D AudioTech. While a potential console bundle for GTA 6 seems unlikely at this point, the announcement of these exclusive controllers certainly adds another layer of anticipation.
