■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Sony will begin accepting pre-orders for GTA 6-themed DualSense controllers on September 10. The custom controllers are priced at $85.

The GTA 6-branded controllers offer an alternative to standard DualSense models, featuring game-specific design elements. At $85, they cost slightly more than the standard $70 DualSense price point but remain competitively positioned relative to the game's $70 launch price. The controllers represent Sony's continued strategy of releasing themed hardware tied to major game launches. GTA 6 releases on September 14, 2025, meaning the controller pre-orders open just days before the game's debut. Sony has not yet disclosed full design details or availability beyond the pre-order window. Customers interested in securing the controllers should mark September 10 on their calendars, as themed hardware often experiences limited stock.
