Official PlayStation Fighting Stick Named FlexStrike, Out in 2026

Sony has shared that its official PS5, PC fighting stick, which was first shown off last month, will be called the FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick. It launches next year, and you can see all the features it’s packing in the trailer above alongside new Marvel Tokon footage.

The announcement comes just before fighting tournament EVO begins, where the fighting stick shall be on display (but not usable) along with its carry case, which is included when you buy the device. A price hasn’t been confirmed yet.

On the PlayStation Blog, you can get an overview of the features the fighting stick has. Sony is utilising its PlayStation Link technology to provide wireless play for up to two FlexStrike pads, which requires just one adaptor to work. You can also hook up a Pulse Elite wireless headset or the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds via the Link adapter for an “ultra-low latency audio and voice chat experience in the heat of battle”. You can also play over a wired connection.

Then, all the buttons of a standard PS5 DualSense controller have been translated to the FlexStrike, even including the Touchpad. You can then utilise lock buttons and lever mode switches to customise your inputs. A normal PS5 pad can also be hooked up to the FlexStrike if you want to use it to navigate menus.

With the company leaning into the fighting game genre even more through EVO and its collaboration with Arc System Works on Marvel Tokon, you can expect the FlexStrike fighting stick to be heavily marketed alongside the game and any other future fighting titles Sony has a hand in.

Due for release in 2026, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is playable at EVO 2025 this weekend. Are you tuning in to watch the tournament? Let us know in the comments below.
