PlayStation’s upcoming Fight Stick officially named and detailed

Sony has been increasingly entrenching itself in the fighting game community over the past few years, from the acquisition of EVO to the announcement of Marvel Tokon and even their own first-party fight stick. Previously teased as Project Defiant, the console maker has fully detailed what is now known as the FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog, Edwin Foo, the VP of Product Development at SIE officially unveiled and detailed PlayStation’s FlexStrike Fight Stick – confirming a ton of details alongside when fans can expect to get their hands on this new accessory.

Arriving some time in 2026, the FlexStrike has yet to receive any official pricing. That said, the wireless fight stick will include a ton of welcome features and quality-of-life additions, including:

• Simultaneous PlayStation Link audio
• Dual FlexStrike wireless fight stick connections for local co-op / competitive play
• Seamless switching between the FlexStrike and DualSense controllers
• A “durable and ergonomic design” featuring “comfortably angled surfaces and a non-slip base for a firm foundation” alongside a “high-quality custom-designed digital stick”
• Fully adjustable controls with included touchpad and more
• Built-in lever mode switch
• Dedicated layout lock button

As mentioned, the FlexStrike Fight Stick isn’t set to launch until some time in 2026. That said, those attending EVO next month will be able to view the upcoming accessory – though there won’t be any hands-ons going on.

Regardless, the FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick is an interesting product which should line up nicely with the rest of the PS5’s accessories. Hopefully the controller won’t be too costly when it launches next year.
