Sony Interactive Entertainment announced on August 19 that its first desktop gaming wireless speaker, the PULSE Elevate Wireless Speaker, will launch on November 12. The speaker comes in Midnight Black and White color options, each priced at 37,980 yen including tax. Pre-orders begin sequentially on September 1 at PlayStation retailers nationwide. The PULSE Elevate was first shown during a State of Play presentation in September 2025, and this announcement finally confirms its release date and price. The speaker uses a proprietary planar magnetic driver and a built-in woofer for bass, and it supports PlayStation Link for ultra-low latency, lossless wireless connection via an included USB-C adapter, as well as Bluetooth. It works with PS5, PlayStation Portal, PC, Mac, and smartphones. A microphone with AI-enhanced noise reduction is built into the right speaker unit, allowing voice chat without a headset. The proprietary connection and Bluetooth can be used simultaneously, so users can listen to game audio from a PS5 while taking calls on a Bluetooth-connected phone. The speaker has a rechargeable battery and comes with a charging dock for desktop use.
The PULSE Elevate is the third piece of hardware in Sony's PULSE line, following the PULSE Elite Wireless Headset and PULSE Explore Wireless Earbuds. On PS5 it supports Tempest 3D AudioTech, which positions in-game sounds with high precision. The built-in battery lets the speaker travel with a PlayStation Portal or smartphone, and the included charging dock returns it to a desktop setup.
The AI noise reduction in the right speaker unit identifies and removes background noise, so voice chat works without a headset. The speaker connects to a PS5 through a 2.4GHz proprietary method while a Bluetooth smartphone handles calls or music at the same time.
PlayStation's official Japanese account announced the release date on August 18, a day before the formal press release. The product was first shown during a State of Play presentation in September 2025, and the release date and price were confirmed in this announcement. Both color options, Midnight Black and White, are listed for purchase on Amazon and Rakuten. The PlayStation Link USB Adapter (model CFI-ZWA3J) is also available through those retailers.
