Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that its upcoming PlayStation FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick for PlayStation 5 and PC has been delayed due to “unexpected production delays.” Originally, the PlayStation FlexStrike Wireless Fight Stick was originally planned to release alongside the company’s new 27″ PlayStation Gaming Monitor this August.
Sony Interactive Entertainment also released the following statement regarding the fight stick’s delay via a PlayStation Blog post update:
Update: We wanted to share an update on the launch timing for FlexStrike wireless fight stick. Due to unexpected production delays, FlexStrike wireless fight stick will launch at a later date. We will share an update soon.
We’re working to ensure we deliver the best possible experience to our players with FlexStrike, so we’re taking extra time to put the finishing touches on the product. We apologize for this delay and look forward to bringing the FlexStrike experience to the community when it launches.
Players who have pre-ordered FlexStrike wireless fight stick from direct.playstation.com can check their order status through the website and will receive communications regarding their order. Players who pre-ordered through another retailer should look for updates directly from that retailer or contact them with any questions.
PlayStation also recently announced that it is ending all physical disc production in January 2028. This means that all future games released afterwards on PlayStation consoles will release exclusively in digital format. In addition, services for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita storefronts will end by 2027.
