Sony Is Making Its Own Wireless Fighting Stick for PS5, PC 1

With the announcement of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and the fact that Sony has been working overtime to establish PS5 as the premiere platform for fighting games, we suppose an official fight stick seemed inevitable.

And here it is: Project Defiant, a wireless fight stick designed for PS5 and PC which uses PS Link to provide “ultra-low latency” gameplay. You can also connect with a cable if you prefer.

“Project Defiant features a high-quality digital stick that’s custom designed by Sony,” the PS Blog post reads.

“The controller features toolless interchangeable restrictor gates (square, circle, and octagon) for the stick, buttons with mechanical switches, and a touch pad like the one found on the DualSense wireless controller. It’s built in a sturdy, ergonomic design for a comfortable feel during intense fight sessions.”

It’ll come with a carrying case, and is scheduled for release in 2026. While there’s no word on a price in the PS Blog post, we’d expect this to come in at over $250.

It looks like a seriously slick piece of kit, though, and basically a must-have accessory if you’re planning to play a lot of fighting games.
