Overview
- Sony said Tuesday that the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, originally set to ship on August 6, will launch at a later, unspecified date because of unexpected production delays.
- The company provided no new timeline in an updated PlayStation Blog post and promised to share further information “soon.”
- PlayStation Direct customers who pre-ordered will receive order-status updates through the site and other retailers must be contacted directly for their own communications.
- The product’s confirmed details — a $199.99 price, included sling carry case, built-in rechargeable battery, and initial PS5-only compatibility with PC support planned later — remain unchanged.
- The delay breaks PlayStation’s coordinated launch strategy with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, which stays on track for August 6, and could affect early sales and marketing momentum for the accessory.
