## Summary

The article recommends game controllers for playing GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox, arguing that most players can use a standard modern gamepad. It says the PS5 version has a particular advantage: the game was developed in partnership with PlayStation, allowing its DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to be used.

For most PS5 players, the writer suggests the standard DualSense, while noting concerns about stick drift, battery life and durability. The two official GTA 6 colourways cost $84 or £74.99; the DualSense Edge is a pricier alternative with back paddles and the same special features. The article also points Xbox players towards a wider range of licensed third-party controllers, though the supplied text ends before detailing those recommendations.
