HORI opened product pages for a flight stick built for Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve on June 17. The peripheral launches in October 2026 at 21,980 yen on PS5, PS4, and Windows PC. It uses a magnetic non-contact Hall sensor for precision and durability. A dedicated High-G button lets players perform an instant High-G turn by pulling the stick and pressing the button, matching the series' signature dogfight move. The stick also includes an independent throttle lever, a brake lever, and eight free buttons with assignable functions. A twin-stick mode is available by connecting two units with a modular cable, though that requires buying two sticks. LED color changes are supported through a Windows 11 app.
