Players can customize their experience with toolless interchangeable restrictor gates – square, circle, and octagon- to suit different playstyles. A built-in storage compartment holds these gates and the PS Link USB adapter. Additionally, the fight stick includes a sling carry case with a lever gap to protect the digital stick during transport.

Mark Julio, Evo’s Business Development Director, collaborated with Sony on Project Defiant, lending his expertise to the design. The fight stick’s aesthetic aligns with the PS5’s black-and-white color scheme, featuring the joystick on the left black side and six buttons – Square, Triangle, R1, L1, X, Circle, R2, and L2, on the right white side.

Sony plans to release Project Defiant in 2026. More details will be announced in the coming months.
