And that's what I plan to do with GTA 6 : use a premium pad, whichever
console I end up playing the game on. And it just so happens that the ongoing Amazon Prime Day deals have brought the price down on my favorite options for either platform. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:
For Xbox, the Thrustmaster eSwap X2 controller is now just 48.80 at Amazon (was 56.60 but has an original list price of way more than that); and for PS5, the DualSense Edge is now down to 168 at Amazon (down from 199.99),
which makes the premium Sony pad much more attractive. Two of my favorite controllers on sale right now Thrustmaster eSwap X2: was 56.60 now 48.80 at Amazon This is a frankly ridiculous price for a wonderful Xbox controller. It's wired, yes, but it's a wonderfully versatile and fantastically built
pad. It wasn't that long ago that this pad had a very premium price tag, so this is unbelievable value for money. View Deal DualSense Edge: was 199.99
now 168 at Amazon A superb price for the official premium PS5 controller that will give you all the options you need to play GTA 6 how you like, while not compromising on ergonomics or quality. View Deal The Thrustmaster Eswap X2 is the Xbox controller I use the most, and it's from a line that opened up Xbox to me when the first variant came out, soon after the Xbox consoles.
It's a premium wired pad that has a modular design, excellent buttons and triggers, and a cracking design and build quality. Right now it's just 48.80, which frankly feels like a mistake. This had an equally premium price tag not all that long ago, so is a bargain.
I love the original DualSense a lot, but if I were looking for something
extra on PS5, then it'd have to be the DualSense Edge. It keeps all that
makes the regular DualSense great, particularly those immersive features, and the ergonomic design, but layers premium features on top, allowing you to do more with a Sony controller.
Both these controllers have extra buttons too, which you can map to your liking, so if you're looking for flexibility when playing GTA 6 or anything, for that matter then these pads are perfect for you and offer more than just a standard layout to work with.
