Sony Interactive Entertainment used its September 2026 State of Play broadcast to reveal a pair of limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers branded for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6, and GameSpot's roundup of the showcase noted that preorders for the hardware were set to open on September 10, 2026, with shipping scheduled to begin on November 19. The controllers come in white and black variants, each finished with a shimmering iridescent coating, textured palm-leaf detailing and official GTA 6 branding. The preorder date mattered because it tied PlayStation's peripheral business directly to the most anticipated release on the console calendar, giving Sony a commercial hook ahead of the game's launch window and a scarcity-driven event for collectors. The same broadcast included an April 2027 release date for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the announcement of Until Dawn 2 set on the fictional Akishima Island, and a two-part Spec IV update for Gran Turismo arriving in October and December, underlining how Sony is using State of Play as its main sales and reveal vehicle between E3-less industry seasons.
