GTA 6's PS5 Controller Preorders Create Chaos on PlayStation Store as Scalpers Take Advantage of Scarcity

PlayStation Store preorders for GTA 6-themed PS5 controllers have encountered significant problems as scalpers have exploited limited availability.

According to IGN, the controller preorders faced disruption on the official PlayStation Store due to inventory constraints, allowing resellers to purchase stock in bulk and list items at inflated prices across secondary markets.

The situation highlights ongoing challenges with high-demand gaming merchandise, where limited quantities combined with bot activity and manual purchasing tactics enable scalpers to capitalize on fan enthusiasm.

PlayStation has not announced additional restocking efforts or anti-scalping measures specifically for this release.

For players anticipating GTA 6’s launch, securing official merchandise at retail price may require persistence, making it crucial to stay alert for any restocked inventory windows.
