Sony PlayStation Pulse Elevate speakers delay, Digi Mart USA News: Sony’s PlayStation Pulse Elevate wireless speakers were scheduled to launch this month, more than a year after they were first announced. According to a post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony has now delayed the release.
Sony said it discovered a production issue during quality testing of the Pulse Elevate Speakers, which led to the decision to postpone the launch. The company did not give a new release date, saying the additional time would be used to ensure the product delivers the intended experience.
The speakers, available in Midnight Black and White, were open to pre-order on September 1, 2026, with a planned release originally set for November 12. Pricing was listed at $219.99 in the US, £199.99 in the UK and €219.99 in the rest of Europe. Sony’s website and Amazon’s listing no longer show pre-orders as available.
Amazon has placed a placeholder date of December 31, 2027 on its listing for the speakers, but this is not a confirmed release date. Sony has not announced when the speakers will ship.
This is not the first PlayStation hardware delay this year. In July, Sony said the PlayStation FlexStrike wireless fight stick had been postponed due to production issues.
That accessory was originally revealed in June 2025 and had been set for release on August 6, 2026, and no new date has been announced for it. Amazon’s placeholder date for the FlexStrike, December 31, 2026, remains unchanged.
The PlayStation Pulse wireless headset, announced in September and available to pre-order on Amazon for $99, is still scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, according to the source report.
