GTA 6 PS5 controller pre-orders live — build-up ahead of two new DualSense pads dropping tomorrow

2026-09-09T15:15:48.198Z When and where are the GTA 6 PS5 controller pre-orders? (Image credit: Sony/Rockstar) OK, the first part of this is easy: GTA 6 PS5 controller pre-orders kick off at 10am ET in the US, and 10am local time everywhere else. Boom.The second part, availability, is a little more complex, but only in the sense of the difference between the two variants. If my parsing of the PS Blog post is correct, it appears that the Black GTA 6 DualSense will be exclusive to PS Direct, while the white variant will be the one that's available at both PS Direct and other retailers. 2026-09-09T14:58:47.069Z What, and how much, are the GTA 6 PS5 controller pre-orders? (Image credit: Sony/Rockstar) In terms of what, there will be two distinct GTA 6 PS5 controllers up for pre-order tomorrow.Sony is attractively naming them, officially, as 'DualSense Wireless Controller – Grand Theft Auto VI Black Limited Edition' and 'DualSense Wireless Controller – Grand Theft Auto VI White Limited Edition'. The black and white overarching colorway is indeed the biggest thing that separates them, but they both look slick as heck in my view.There's that shimmering blue look on both, palm tree fronds and forms draped over the pads, and pink accents that punch through the black or white really pleasingly. I think I prefer the Black one, but it's a close run thing.There's no difference in price, though, and both will cost you $84.99 / £74.99 — the standard price for DualSenses right now. 2026-09-09T14:47:32.539Z These are going to be hot stuff... (Image credit: PlayStation) Not only are these two controllers absolute beauties — at least, I think — they are tied to the biggest entertainment release in history.As a result, I predict the demand for these is going to be huge; absolutely wild, in fact. I know that recent Limited Edition PS5 controllers haven't sold out like some, but surely the safe bet here is that stock will fly.Because of that I reckon it'll pay to get in position early with bookmarking the above links, getting account information in order, and making sure you're fully informed ahead of stock dropping. tomorrow.So let's begin with some key information... Hello!Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the upcoming GTA 6 PS5 controller pre-orders which are dropping tomorrow!We're getting our flag in the ground early to be in the best position to help you snag your one, or two, new DualSense controllers!
