PlayStation to Launch FlexStrike Aug. 6; Pulse Elevate Later

PlayStation will release the FlexStrike wireless fight stick for PS5 on Aug. 6, 2026, and plans to offer PC compatibility after launch. The peripheral is designed for competitive play and portability and includes a sling carry case and a built-in rechargeable battery for travel to tournaments and meetups.

The global launch date aligns with the release window for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. In Southeast Asia, PlayStation will open pre-orders for the FlexStrike on June 12, 2026. Suggested retail prices in those markets are SGD 279, MYR 999, IDR 4,199,000, THB 7,790, PHP 13,178 and VND 6,499,000. Pre-orders will be available through participating retailers.

MARVEL Tōkon’s PS5 physical edition will also see pre-orders start June 12 in the same Southeast Asian markets, with regional SRPs of SGD 79.90, MYR 249, THB 1,990, IDR 879,000, PHP 2,990 and VND 1,499,000. Digital pre-orders for the game are available now on PlayStation Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store, with Standard, Digital Deluxe and Ultimate editions offered.

PlayStation announced that the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers will arrive later in 2026. The company says the speakers incorporate audio features from its Pulse Explore and Pulse Elite headsets to expand immersive sound beyond headset setups. PlayStation has not disclosed a price or a pre-order date for the Pulse Elevate speakers and plans to provide additional details later this year.

PlayStation’s blog post did not include full technical specifications, wider regional pricing or a complete timeline for PC compatibility of the FlexStrike. The company directed readers to the PlayStation Blog for hands-on details and said more information will be published as it becomes available.
