Sony has revealed the official name for Project Defiant, its upcoming wireless fight stick: FlexStrike. Launching in 2026 for PS5 and PC, a new trailer is available to outline its various features. Check it out below.
The FlexStrike utilizes a PlayStation Link USB adapter on PS5, which also supports the Pulse Elite headset and Pulse Explore earbuds. You can connect two FlexStrike sticks at once, and even connect the DualSense to the PS5 at the same time.
