Sony revealed three new PlayStation accessories coming later in 2026: the FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick, a 27-inch gaming monitor with an integrated DualSense charging hook, and the Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers. The products target competitive and desktop gamers on both PS5 and PC, and are part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s effort to broaden PlayStation hardware beyond the living-room console experience.
FlexStrike wireless fight stick launches August 6, 2026
The centerpiece of the announcement is the FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick, PlayStation’s first official wireless arcade-style controller. Sony says the device is designed for competitive fighting-game players and will be compatible with PS5 and PC.
The FlexStrike includes an internal rechargeable battery and ships with a carrying bag to ease transport for tournaments and in-person events. Sony set a global release date of August 6, 2026, and confirmed pre-orders will begin on June 12 with a suggested price of US$199.99.
Timing tied to Marvel fighting game release
Sony noted the FlexStrike’s launch was scheduled to coincide with the upcoming release of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, one of the major fighting titles planned for the year. The company expects the fight stick to serve as an official option for players seeking a more arcade-like experience.
27″ QHD monitor supports DualSense charging and high refresh rates
Sony also introduced the 27″ Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook, a display aimed at PS5 and PC users who prefer dedicated desktop setups. The monitor uses a QHD IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution.
Key display features include support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), up to 120 Hz when connected to PS5 and PS5 Pro systems, and up to 240 Hz on compatible PCs and Macs. The monitor includes a dedicated mount to charge a DualSense controller directly at the workstation.
Pre-sales for the monitor began on June 5 in the United States and Japan, with a suggested retail price of US$349.99.
Pulse Elevate wireless speakers arriving later in 2026
The third product is the Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers, the first wireless speaker system within Sony’s Pulse lineup. According to Sony, the speakers incorporate audio technologies used in the Pulse Explore and Pulse Elite headsets to deliver a more immersive sound experience during gameplay.
Sony did not disclose a price or a precise release date for Pulse Elevate, only confirming the speakers will arrive sometime in 2026.
Broadening the PlayStation ecosystem
With these accessories, Sony is reinforcing a strategy to extend PlayStation beyond the console itself by offering peripherals tailored to different play styles. The FlexStrike targets the competitive fighting-game community, while the monitor and Pulse Elevate speakers are aimed at players seeking premium desktop setups for PS5 and PC.
