PlayStation Expands Its Hardware Ecosystem With New Fight Stick, Monitor, and Speakers
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Sony is expanding its hardware ecosystem with the newly detailed FlexStrike fight stick, a 27-inch 240Hz gaming monitor, and Pulse Elevate speakers, offering new cross-platform options for PS5 and PC players.
Sony is broadening its hardware footprint beyond standard consoles and standard controllers, offering a fresh slate of gear designed for both PlayStation 5 and PC players. According to a recent hands-on report by IGN South Africa, the company is rolling out three new devices aimed at the competitive and enthusiast corners of the community. For the fighting game community, Sony has built its very first first-party fight stick, named the FlexStrike. It supports both wired and wireless play across platforms, features customizable sticks and clicky buttons, and even doubles as a standard controller if the situation calls for it.
The hardware lineup also includes a 27-inch gaming monitor tailored specifically for high-end console and PC setups. It hits a sweet spot for competitive play with a 1440p resolution and a fast 240Hz refresh rate, while also including a convenient built-in charging hook for DualSense controllers to keep desk clutter to a minimum. Rounding out the release are the Pulse Elevate speakers, which bring spatial 3D audio tech to a desktop form factor. They include built-in microphones with AI noise cancellation, offering an alternative for players who want clear voice chat with teammates without wearing a bulky headset during long sessions.
For modern players who treat their desk setups as multi-purpose hubs for gaming, streaming, and chatting, ecosystem integration matters just as much as raw specs. While first-party accessories often carry a premium price tag, hardware built from the ground up with cross-platform compatibility and quality of life features usually finds a ready audience.
