Sony gives an in-depth look at FlexStrike, its first fighting stick
, by Thibaut
PlayStation's fighting joystick was announced last June as Project Defiant, and has finally been named FlexStrike.
Among the features included in the brand's first arcade stick is simultaneous PlayStation Link audio via a simple USB PS Link adapter. A Pulse Elite wireless headset or Pulse Explore wireless headphones can then be connected at the same time as the stick. The adapter is included with the accessory.
Added to this is the fact that two FlexStrike can be connected simultaneously to the PS5. A DualSense controller will remain connected to the console when the stick is in use. PlayStation promises an ergonomic and durable design, with a non-slip base and high-quality custom digital stick.
Finally, controls will be fully adjustable, and inputs will be the same as on a DualSense controller. The FlexStrike will be released in 2026, and a carrying case will be included.
