Why there's only a PlayStation controller
Confirmed partnership. Sony's June 24 PlayStation Blog post describes a "close partnership" between Sony and Rockstar and says GTA 6 "will play best on PS5," with haptics, adaptive triggers and the controller speaker. GameSpot says even the Launch Trailer shows an in-game controller that looks like a DualSense. The game also launches on Xbox Series X|S. See PS5 vs Xbox.
