PlayStation has finally confirmed release plans for the trio of PlayStation 5 and PC accessories it first teased last year: the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, the 27-inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook, and the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers. Two of the three now have launch dates and pricing, while the third is still a ways off.

The FlexStrike wireless fight stick launches globally on August 6, 2026, timed to the release of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Built for PlayStation 5 and PC, it leans on competitive play and portability, shipping with a sling carry case and a built-in rechargeable battery so it can travel to tournaments or a friend’s setup. Preorders open June 12 at 7:00 AM Pacific (10:00 AM Eastern) in the U.S. and several European markets, with a recommended price of $199.99 in the U.S. (€199.99, £179.99, and ¥34,980). It will be available through PlayStation Direct and participating retailers, with PlayStation Direct stock listed as limited.

The 27-inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook follows on August 27, 2026, launching in the U.S. and Japan. It uses a 27-inch QHD IPS panel at 2560×1440 with VRR, running up to 120Hz on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro and up to 240Hz on a compatible PC or Mac. When we covered the monitor’s reveal last November, the open question was price, with the guess that it would need to land around $300 to make sense against the field. It comes in a bit above that at $349.99 (¥49,980 in Japan). Preorders open June 5 at 7:00 AM Pacific (10:00 AM Eastern) through PlayStation Direct and Best Buy in the U.S., plus participating retailers in Japan, again in limited quantities at PlayStation Direct.

The Pulse Elevate wireless speakers remain the vaguest of the three, still set only for “later this year.” PlayStation says they carry over much of the audio technology from the Pulse Explore and Pulse Elite headsets and are meant to pair with the 27-inch monitor for desktop setups. Pricing and a preorder date have not been announced, with PlayStation pointing to a future update.
