Sony has officially revealed pricing and release windows for two major pieces of gaming hardware, confirming that both the FlexStrike fight stick and a new 27-inch gaming monitor will hit shelves in August.
The FlexStrike fight stick is set to launch on August 6th, coinciding with the release of the PlayStation-published fighting title Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Priced at $199.99, preorders will open on June 12th at 10AM ET. At launch, the controller will be compatible exclusively with the PS5, though Sony has confirmed that PC support will arrive via a post-launch update. Each unit will include a sling carry case and a built-in rechargeable battery for portable use.
Sony has also provided a closer look at the device through a newly released video, highlighting its design and functionality for competitive play.
On the display front, the company’s 27-inch PlayStation-branded gaming monitor will debut on August 27th at a price of $349.99. Preorders begin even earlier, on June 5th at 10AM ET. This monitor features a 2560 x 1440 IPS panel with VRR support, capable of reaching 120Hz when connected to a PS5 or PS5 Pro, and up to 240Hz with compatible PCs or Macs. A standout design element is a pop-out hook on the back of the monitor, designed specifically for charging a DualSense controller , a thoughtful addition for tidy setups.
Additionally, Sony has provided an update on its Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, which were first announced last September. The company states these will arrive “later this year,” though a specific price point remains unannounced. More details are promised “soon.”
