Mad Catz Street Fighter V FightSticks and FightPads coming to PS4

Mad-Catz-SFV-PS4There wasn’t much of a doubt that Mad Catz and Capcom wouldn’t come to an agreement to produce officially licensed PS4 Street Fighter V fighting game controllers just in time for the release of the game. This morning, Mad Catz made it official.

In the works so far are Street Fighter V-branded FightSticks, Tournament Edition FightSticks and FightPad controllers. That’s all we know so far.

This is in addition to the previously announced Ultra Street Fighter IV PS4/PS3 TE FightStick which was revealed this past December and is still coming soon.

In other Mad Catz news, they have signed on as a Premier Sponsor of the Capcom Pro Tour, so those involved in the fighting tourney will get to see even more of the company and its products.

Check out the press release below.

Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Capcom to create a range of next-generation Street Fighter V fighting game controllers for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system.

Expected to be available in time for the launch of the game, Mad Catz intends to launch an all new range of FightSticks, Tournament Edition FightSticks and FightPad controllers.

In addition to the new range of controllers, Mad Catz will feature as a ?Premier Sponsor? of the Capcom Pro Tour, a global series of competitive eSports gaming tournaments which will feature the latest flagship title of the legendary Street Fighter series. As part of a three year sponsorship agreement, Mad Catz will be the exclusive controller sponsor for the Capcom Pro Tour and will feature prominently at all Capcom Pro Tour events which will be available to view on Twitch, the world’s leading social video platform and community for gamers.

?Street Fighter is the most renowned fighting game franchise in gaming and we?re excited to be part of Street Fighter V, the first title in the series to launch on PlayStation 4,? said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz. ?More passionate gamers choose our range of fighting game controllers over any other as they demand quality and precision to help provide a winning edge. We?re confident that our new range will continue to establish Mad Catz as category leaders and prove highly popular to established fighting game players and those new to the series.?
