Sony has delayed the launch of the PlayStation FlexStrike wireless fight stick, pushing it back from its previously scheduled August 6 release to an unannounced later date.
The announcement was made in an update published on the official PlayStation Blog, where the company cited unexpected production issues as the reason for the delay.
“We wanted to share an update on the launch timing for FlexStrike wireless fight stick. Due to unexpected production delays, FlexStrike wireless fight stick will launch at a later date. We will share an update soon.”
Sony said it is using the additional time to ensure the accessory meets its quality expectations before release.
“We’re working to ensure we deliver the best possible experience to our players with FlexStrike, so we’re taking extra time to put the finishing touches on the product. We apologize for this delay and look forward to bringing the FlexStrike experience to the community when it launches.”
The company also provided guidance for customers who have already placed pre-orders. Players who ordered the PlayStation FlexStrike through direct.playstation.com can check their order status on the website and will receive updates regarding their purchase. Those who pre-ordered through other retailers have been advised to contact the retailer directly or watch for further communications.
Sony has not announced a revised release date for the FlexStrike wireless fight stick and says it will provide another update soon.
