Sony Announces Release Date for New PlayStation Hardware
PlayStation has recently managed to attract gamers with its diverse controller and skin designs. However, it seems Sony wants to maintain this momentum. Recent announcements show that the company is not limiting itself to just cosmetic items, but is also focusing on more niche and player-specific hardware.
New Hardware for PlayStation Coming April 9th
Sony’s newly announced hardware specifically targets fighting game players. The Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick will be released on April 9, 2026. Compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC, this device aims to recreate the classic arcade experience with a modern approach.
This controller completely eliminates the traditional joystick structure, switching to a system called “leverless.” This means directional control is now provided by buttons instead of analog sticks. This design translates to faster and more precise inputs, especially for competitive players. In short, it offers a significant advantage in fighting games where reflexes matter down to milliseconds.
The customization options offered by the device are also quite impressive. The button layout can be changed, the mechanical switches are easily replaceable, and it can be fully personalized visually with RGB lighting. This makes the product not just a controller, but also a piece of equipment that reflects the player’s style.
Of course, the price of hardware at this level is also commensurate. Expected to be around $300, the device appeals more to competitive gamers and collectors. The increasing variety of hardware on the PlayStation side, especially in terms of offering solutions specific to different game genres, stands out as a noteworthy development.
