The story so far
AI summary of the reporting below · Updated · How we work
Sony has postponed the worldwide launch of its PlayStation Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, halting pre-orders just days before the scheduled November 12 debut. Announced on the PlayStation Blog, the delay leaves the desktop gaming speakers without a new release date. Priced at $219.99 in the US, £199.99 in the UK, and €219.99 across the rest of Europe, the audio accessory had been open for pre-orders since September. [1][2]
Sony explained that it identified a production issue during ongoing quality testing and needs extra time to ensure the hardware delivers the intended user experience. Designed to work with the PS5, PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal through PlayStation Link, the speakers can also connect to mobile phones simultaneously via Bluetooth. The setup incorporates a microphone inside the right speaker featuring AI-enhanced noise rejection. Sony planned a broad rollout for the Midnight Black version, while the White model was limited to select markets such as the UK. [1][2]
The setback marks another recent hardware delay for Sony. The company previously postponed the PlayStation FlexStrike wireless fight stick in July because of separate production issues, and it has not yet provided an updated launch date for that controller. [1]
