Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed two limited-edition Grand Theft Auto VI DualSense wireless controllers on September 3–4, 2026, with Singapore pre-orders scheduled to open on Wednesday, September 10 at 10:00am SGT and a global launch date of November 19 — the same day GTA 6 is expected to ship. Both controllers are priced at SGD 115 in Singapore, making them among the most anticipated PlayStation accessories of the year.

What Sony Announced on September 3

The PlayStation Blog’s Southeast Asia edition confirmed on September 4, 2026, that the two GTA VI–branded controllers carry Grand Theft Auto VI-inspired artwork — one in a black colourway and one in white — both using the game’s signature visual treatment tied to its art direction. The announcement, posted simultaneously on the PlayStation Blog SEA, confirmed pricing and preorder timing for Singapore and the broader Southeast Asian region.

According to the official PlayStation Blog post, “Both limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers will launch starting on November 19 for a recommended retail price of SGD 115 / MYR 419 / IDR 1,549,000 / THB 2,890 / PHP 5,411 / VND 2,399,000. Pre-orders start September 10 at 10:00am Local time.” The global price is set at USD 84.99, EUR 84.99, and GBP 74.99.

Mashable India reported that the controllers are “priced at $84.99 (around Rs. 7,100)” globally, with pre-orders beginning September 10 at 10am in select markets, according to the PlayStation Blog global announcement.

Controller Designs: Black and White Limited Editions

Both DualSense controllers feature Grand Theft Auto VI-themed artwork consistent with the game’s stylised art direction. The Black Limited Edition and the White Limited Edition share the same GTA VI visual branding applied across the front panels, touchpad, and trigger areas. Sony has not released additional specification differences between the two colourways beyond the base colour — each is otherwise a standard DualSense feature set with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the built-in microphone array familiar to PS5 owners.

For context on how these controllers pair with Sony’s current hardware, our PlayStation 5 Pro 2026 review covers the haptic and adaptive trigger performance in detail — the limited-edition DualSense units use the same internals as the standard PS5 Pro-compatible controller.

Singapore Pricing and Pre-Order Details

At SGD 115, the GTA 6 DualSense controllers sit at a modest premium over the standard DualSense retail price in Singapore. Pre-orders open at 10:00am SGT on September 10, 2026, and the controllers launch on November 19 — the same date GTA 6 is currently scheduled to release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Why This Matters for GTA 6’s November Launch

The release of branded hardware accessories in the weeks before a game’s launch is a standard Sony marketing strategy, but the GTA VI DualSense controllers carry particular weight given the game’s status as one of the most anticipated titles in the industry’s history. Launching a limited-edition peripheral tied to the same November 19 date as the game creates a bundled collector’s moment — players wanting the full GTA 6 experience on day one can now add a themed controller to that setup.

For the latest on GTA 6’s confirmed release schedule and what Take-Two Interactive has said about the game’s window, see our ongoing GTA 6 release window updates coverage.

The timing of the accessory announcement — coming days after the Xbox Disc-to-Digital feature launched for testers and following the PlayStation State of Play in September 2026 — signals that Sony is accelerating its pre-launch GTA 6 marketing push. The simultaneous global pre-order opening across all regions, including a coordinated 10:00am local time across Southeast Asia, suggests a unified global retail strategy.

Singapore’s Gran Turismo World Series Connection

The GTA 6 controller announcement arrives as PlayStation’s presence in Singapore is noticeably elevated heading into Q4 2026. On October 3, the Gran Turismo World Series Round 3 will make its Southeast Asian debut at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands — the first time the GTWS championship has ever been staged in the region. Ticket prices for that event range from SGD 38 (Classic) to SGD 68 (Signature with Meet and Greet), according to the Marina Bay Sands event listing.

The Singapore Tourism Board’s September 2, 2026 media release confirmed that the Gran Turismo World Series Round 3 is a programme partner for Grand Prix Season Singapore 2026, joining the event alongside Zouk, TRIFECTA, and other partners in the lead-up to the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. A Sony Store promotion running at 313@somerset from September 5 to 27 also allows Singapore players to compete on GT7 setups for tickets to the October 3 event, according to a Hardwarezone.com.sg report published on August 31, 2026.

What to Watch Next

Pre-orders for both GTA 6 DualSense controllers open at 10:00am SGT on September 10, 2026 — four days from the date of this report. Given the expected demand for GTA 6 accessories globally, Singapore players interested in securing either the Black or White Limited Edition should act quickly when the pre-order window opens. Sony has not confirmed whether stock will be limited or how long pre-orders will remain available.

The controllers launch November 19, 2026, aligned with GTA 6’s scheduled release. Whether the GTA 6 game itself ships on that date remains subject to Take-Two Interactive’s confirmation, but as of Sony’s September 4 announcement, November 19 is the official retail date for both controllers. Sony has also not announced a bundled PS5 + GTA 6 DualSense package for Singapore at this stage — the controllers are being sold standalone.

Separately, the Gran Turismo World Series Round 3 Singapore event on October 3 represents PlayStation’s largest live event footprint in Southeast Asia to date. Tickets are available through the Marina Bay Sands box office and the official Gran Turismo website, with the Signature tier — including a meet-and-greet with competing drivers — offering the most direct access to the competitive sim racing scene.
