Overview
- Sony updated the PlayStation Blog on Tuesday to say the FlexStrike wireless fight stick will launch at a later, unspecified date because of unexpected production delays.
- The delay breaks PlayStation’s plan to release FlexStrike alongside the fighting game Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, which remains scheduled for August 6.
- PlayStation said it is taking extra time to “put the finishing touches” on the product and framed the decision as a quality-control step rather than a cancellation.
- Customers who pre-ordered are expected to receive their units and will get shipping updates from retailers, but PlayStation has not provided a new ship date.
- FlexStrike will launch first on PS5 with PC support planned later, and analysts say the missing launch window raises the chance the product slips into late 2026 or 2027 while PlayStation adjusts production and marketing plans.
