We’re writing to inform you that the release of the FlexStrike wireless fight stick has been postponed due to unforeseen manufacturing setbacks. A new launch window will be announced shortly.
Our team is committed to delivering an exceptional experience with FlexStrike, which is why we’re allocating additional time to perfect every detail. We regret any inconvenience this delay may cause and remain excited to share the final product with the community.
Those who pre‑ordered the FlexStrike from direct.playstation.com can monitor their order status on the site and will receive timely updates. Customers who purchased through third‑party retailers should consult their seller for the latest information or reach out with inquiries.
Previously, we previewed a lineup of fresh accessories slated for the PS5 and PC, featuring the inaugural wireless fight stick FlexStrike, a 27‑inch gaming monitor equipped with a DualSense charging hook—available in the U.S. and Japan—and our debut wireless desktop speakers, Pulse Elevate. Today, we’re delighted to provide fresh updates on these offerings.
FlexStrike, a cutting‑edge wireless fight stick, is set to hit the market on August 6 2026, perfectly timed to debut alongside the highly anticipated MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Engineered for both PS5 and PC, the controller prioritises competitive performance while remaining ultra‑portable, thanks to its integrated rechargeable battery and a sleek sling‑carry case that makes it effortless to transport to tournaments, meet‑ups, or a friend’s gaming den.
Pre‑orders for FlexStrike open on June 12 2026, with a recommended retail price of $199.99 USD (or €199.99, £179.99, ¥34,980). Customers can secure the device through direct.playstation.com—where available—or through selected retail partners.
Reflecting the shift of gamers beyond the living room, the new 27‑inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook offers a premium display experience tailored for desktop setups. Featuring a 27‑inch QHD IPS panel (2560×1440) with variable refresh rate, the monitor supports up to 120 Hz on PS5 and PS5 Pro, and up to 240 Hz on compatible PCs or Macs.
Pre‑orders for the monitor begin on June 5 2026, available via direct.playstation.com and Best Buy in the U.S., as well as participating retailers in Japan. The recommended retail price is $349.99 USD (or ¥49,980, inclusive of tax).
The new Pulse Elevate wireless speakers bring the same cutting‑edge audio technologies that power our Pulse Explore and Pulse Elite headsets, amplifying immersion through superior sound. Set to debut later this year, they will integrate seamlessly with the 27‑inch Gaming Monitor, delivering a cinematic audio‑visual experience that extends beyond the living room. Stay tuned for upcoming details on MSRP and pre‑order dates.
