- Quick Answer: Sony is releasing a new PlayStation-branded fight stick called the Flex Strike for $200, compatible with PS5 and PC, launching on August 6.
Sony is entering the fighting game space in a big way. Not only are they funding Arc System Works' upcoming Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, they're ready to ship a PlayStation-branded fight stick, the Flex Strike, which will retail for a surprisingly affordable $200, starting this August 6.
Via a new PlayStation blog released on June 1, Sony confirmed the pricing for the upcoming Flex Strike, which will be compatible with PlayStation 5 and PC. At $200, it's an incredible price point, especially if we consider a few things. One, it looks like Sony is treating this as a premium product, so if we compare it to other premium fight sticks on the market, like the Naco Daija ($250) or the Victrix Pro FS ($399), it stands as a much better deal. It's even cheaper than mid-range fight sticks like the Hori Alpha ($220).
The cherry on top is that it'll come with a carrying case, specifically designed for the Flex Strike, which a lot of other stick manufacturers offer as a separate purchase.
Flex Strike's versatility is something that might entice those looking to get into fighting games, as it can be used as a wireless peripheral if you don't want to have it directly hooked to your PC and PS5. It also comes with three different type of gates that are easy to swap (square, octagonal, and circle).
