Sony frames these products as part of a broader move toward dedicated PlayStation desk setups and expanding hardware beyond living rooms, highlighting the DualSense charging hook as a key differentiator.

Sony today unveils its 2026 hardware lineup, detailing release dates, pricing, and pre-orders for three core products: the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, a 27-inch PlayStation gaming monitor with a DualSense charging cradle, and the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers.

The FlexStrike will ship August 6 at $199.99, with pre-orders opening June 12 at 10 AM ET; it launches PS5-only with PC support coming later, and includes a sling carry case and a built-in rechargeable battery.

The 27-inch gaming monitor is a QHD IPS panel with up to 120Hz on PS5/PS5 Pro and up to 240Hz on PC/Mac, features multiple video connections and a built-in inductive DualSense charging cradle, and debuts in the US on August 27 for $349.99 with pre-orders starting June 5; UK/EU dates are not yet announced.

The fight stick uses a custom digital joystick with a short throw and mechanical switch buttons for a solid, responsive feel.

The FlexStrike supports head-to-head play by linking two units and can be used with another FlexStrike for multiplayer sessions.

The coverage emphasizes an exclusive hands-on look over a formal review, focusing on design, compatibility, and potential use cases.

The FlexStrike includes a protective hard case, a Lock Switch to prevent tournament input errors, and a low-noise, high-response button feel, though official swappable switches and long-term longevity aren’t confirmed.

Latency is a focus, with four-millisecond latency via the PlayStation Link USB adapter and support for two FlexStrikes without latency penalties; the stick also offers a sling case and a bottom panel for adding different restrictor gates.
