Sony FlexStrike Fight Stick Adds Multiplayer, Upgrades

Sony's FlexStrike, a first-party fight stick for PS5 and PC, is set for global release in 2026. The FlexStrike is designed for competitive play, featuring mechanical switch buttons, a customizable joystick with toolless restrictor gates, and a non-slip ergonomic base. It supports ultra-low latency wireless play via PlayStation Link, allows simultaneous pairing of two FlexStrike controllers on a single USB-C adapter for local multiplayer, and works with Sony’s Pulse audio devices. The device retains all DualSense inputs, including a touchpad and lever mode switch, and offers a lock button to prevent accidental input changes. Additional features include built-in accessory storage, a sling carrying case for portability, and a built-in battery for wireless use. FlexStrike will debut publicly at EVO 2025, with pricing and more details to be announced closer to launch.
