Limited-edition PS5 controller celebrates Gran Turismo’s 30th anniversary

Sony is launching a limited-edition PS5 DualSense controller to commemorate Gran Turismo’s 30^th anniversary this year.

Launching in December, the controller is finished in white and features two prominent black racing stripes at the centre.

Elsewhere, the controller is adorned with motorsport-inspired graphics, including a racing number 30 representing the game’s anniversary, and various Gran Turismo logos. At the bottom, the front plate features a carbon-fibre-style texture.  

“Thirty years ago, Gran Turismo began with a vision to share the beauty and joy of the automobile,” Gran Turismo’s creator and Polyphony Digital CEO, Kazunori Yamauchi, commented.

“This commemorative controller celebrates the journey we have shared together, and I am deeply grateful to everyone whose passion continues to inspire us.”

Dubbed the ‘DualSense Wireless Controller – Gran Turismo Limited Edition’ the controller will go on sale on 10^th December and retail for £74.99 / €84.99/ $84.99. Pre-orders directly from PlayStation and other retailers will start on 22^nd October at 10am local time.

The controller’s announcement coincides with part one of Gran Turismo 7’s substantial Spec IV update. Launching tomorrow, the first part adds the Sportsland Sugo circuit along with new events and Scapes location.

It also brings six new cars: the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, Honda Civic Si Group A, Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Evo, Honda Step WGN Spada Premium Line and the Citroën 2CV 6 Charleston. A second part will follow in December.
