Gran Turismo 30th Anniversary DualSense Pre-Orders Go Live

Sony has released a racing-themed limited edition controller positioned as a collectible with restricted retail allocations that could push fans to buy now.

Overview

  • Pre-orders opened on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 10am local time in regions covered by PlayStation and retailers, with some outlets reporting immediate availability.
  • The controller is priced at $84.99 / £74.99 and is scheduled to ship on December 10, 2026.
  • Sony says the design is inspired by Gran Turismo craftsmanship and features go-faster stripes, motorsport decals and a textured carbon-fibre-style front plate.
  • PlayStation lists the pad on PS Direct and other retailers but its blog language suggests PlayStation Direct may have exclusive or regional allocations, and outlets warn supply will likely be limited.
  • The release marks Gran Turismo's 30th anniversary and is aimed at long-term fans and collectors as a cosmetic, commemorative item rather than a hardware upgrade, which raises the chance of quick sellouts and secondary-market demand.
