PlayStation showed off a lot of games at their State of Play today, but mid-way through the event, after announcing a new Mortal Kombat collection, PlayStation revealed that they're releasing their very own fight stick controller. Codenamed Project Defiant, PlayStation gave us a :30 second teaser of the controller that will be compatible with both the PS5 and PC, and can be used both wired and wirelessly.

The product description from their blog post reads:

"Project Defiant features a high-quality digital stick that’s custom designed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. 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. For convenience and portability, the controller has a storage compartment for restrictor gates and PS Link USB adapter. Project Defiant also supports the ability to wirelessly wake up your PS5 by pressing and holding the PS button."

The new controller is set to drop in 2026, and they hope to share more updates in the coming months. Watch the teaser trailer below!
