Sony delays its new PS5 fight stick
Sony has delayed the release of its FlexStrike fight stick controller for the PS5 and PC due to unexpected production issues. The company has not provided a new launch date for the $199.99 peripheral.
Why it matters
The delay impacts the gaming accessory market and disrupts the planned synchronization with the release of the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls game.
Sony is delaying the launch of its FlexStrike fight stick controller for PS5 and PC, which had been set to launch on August 6th, to an unspecified date in the future. The company blames the delayed launch on “unexpected production delays.” The original planned launch of the FlexStrike would have lined up with the release date of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a Marvel-themed fighting game developed by Arc System Works that PlayStation is publishing.
