PlayStation has unveiled its newest hardware lineup with three new products aimed at different kinds of players: the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, and a 27-inch gaming monitor with a DualSense Charging Hook.
FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick
The FlexStrike wireless fight stick is for both newcomers and seasoned fighting game players. It works wired or wirelessly, and its PlayStation Link support enables ultra-low latency as fast as 4ms from the controller to the included PS Link adapter. That speed is meant to help the stick feel responsive enough for competitive play while still being approachable for beginners.
The stick can be used on a lap or on a table and features a non-slip base helps keep it steady during play. Its shorter shape, angled button layout, and toolless swappable restrictor gates make it easy to tailor the feel of the controls. Players can switch between square, circular, and octagonal gates in seconds using a magnetic back cover.
PlayStation will bundle the FlexStrike with a sling carry case that can be worn crossbody or on the back. The case includes dedicated sections for the digital stick and storage pouches for cables and accessories.
Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers
PlayStation unveiled the Pulse Elevate, its first pair of wireless stereo speakers powered by planar magnetic drivers and PlayStation Link technology to deliver detailed sound with ultra-low latency and lossless audio support.
The Pulse Elevate also includes a built-in rechargeable battery rated for 12 hours of use. Each speaker can be tilted to a preferred angle, making it suitable for a desk, a living room setup, or even a work-from-home space. There’s also a built-in mic with AI-enhanced noise rejection, which can filter out background sound during calls while music or game audio continues to play.
It supports simultaneous PlayStation Link and Bluetooth connections, which allows players to take a phone call while gaming without interruptions. The Pulse Elevate wireless speakers are set to launch later this year.
27-inch Gaming Monitor
Lastly, the company debuted a 27-inch gaming monitor with a DualSense Charging Hook. It is coming to the US and Japan and is meant to support gaming beyond the living room, giving players another option for a dedicated desktop setup.
The monitor uses a QHD IPS display with a resolution of up to 2560 x 1440. It also supports HDR, Variable Refresh Rate, and refresh rates of up to 120 Hz on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles. On compatible PC devices, it can reach up to 240 Hz for smoother gameplay. The built-in DualSense Charging Hook adds convenience by letting users rest a DualSense or DualSense Edge controller below the screen.
Pricing
The FlexStrike wireless fight stick is priced at USD 199.99, while the 27-inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook will retail for USD 349.99.
