Sony's PlayStation Pulse Elevate wireless speakers get delayed till further notice

Sony's PlayStation Pulse Elevate wireless speakers are supposed to launch this month, more than a year after they were first announced. Unfortunately, Sony has issued an update that says the speakers have been delayed.

Posting on the PlayStation Blog, Sony says that it discovered a production issue during quality testing of the Pulse Elevate Speakers, which has prompted the decision for the speakers to be delayed. While it didn't say when the new release date will be, the post said the “time will be used to ensure the product will deliver the experience intended” for its players.

On the other hand, Amazon has put a placeholder date of December 31, 2027 on its listing of the speakers. The speakers are also unavailable to pre-order, just like on PlayStation's website.

Available in Midnight Black and White, with a $219.99 price tag in the US, £199.99 in the UK, and €219.99 in the rest of Europe, the Pulse Elevate Speakers were made available to pre-order on September 1, 2026, with a planned release originally scheduled for November 12. Now, the new release date is unknown.

This isn't the first PlayStation hardware that has been postponed this year. Back in July, Sony announced that the PlayStation FlexStrike wireless fight stick has been delayed due to production issues. The arcade stick was originally unveiled in June 2025 and was revealed to be set for release on August 6, 2026. Up until now, PlayStation is yet to announce a new release date for the controller. Amazon's placeholder date of December 31, 2026, also remains unchanged.

The PlayStation Pulse wireless headset (available to pre-order on Amazon for $99) announced in September are still on track to be released on November 19, 2026.
