Updating Summary Prospectus
May 1, 2026
You should read this Updating Summary Prospectus carefully, particularly the section titled "Important Information You Should Consider About the Annuity."
An updated statutory prospectus for the Prudential FlexGuard Income Index-Linked Variable Annuity Contract is currently available online, which contains more information about the Annuity, including its features, benefits, and risks. You can find the statutory prospectus and other information about the contract online at www.prudential.com/regdocs/PLAZ-FlexGuard-INC-STAT. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-888-PRU-2888 or by sending an email request to [email protected].
The statutory prospectus describes all the investment options, features, and benefits that we make available under the Annuity. The availability of investment options, features and benefits described in the statutory prospectus may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold ("financial intermediary variations"). We have identified all such financial intermediary variations that are known or reasonably available to us. See Appendix G "Financial Intermediary Variations" of the statutory prospectus. Financial intermediary variations may be imposed by some broker-dealers without our knowledge. For example, your Financial Professional may not recommend a particular investment option or benefit to you because of a decision by the Financial Professional's broker-dealer not to offer that investment option or benefit to its customers. Taking into consideration the breadth of our distribution network, we are unable to obtain information about all financial intermediary variations without unreasonable effort or expense. You should discuss with your Financial Professional any limitations, restrictions, or other variations related to the investment options, benefits or other features available to you through your Financial Professional.
This Updating Summary Prospectus incorporates by reference the Prudential FlexGuard Income statutory prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI), both dated May 1, 2026, as amended or supplemented. The SAI may be obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the prospectus.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at www.Investor.gov.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this Updating Summary Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Account Value: The total value of any allocations in the Variable Option and the Index Strategies using the Interim Value for each Index Strategy on any Valuation Day other than the Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date. On an Index Strategy Start Date, the Index Strategy Base applicable to that Index Strategy would be used instead of the Interim Value. On an Index Strategy End Date, the Index Strategy Base plus the Index Credit less any withdrawals or Benefit charge applicable to that Index Strategy would be used instead of the Interim Value.
Annuitant/Joint Annuitant: The natural person upon whose life annuity payments made to the Owner are based.
Application Sign Date: The date that you sign your application. For applications transmitted through electronic order entry, the Application Sign Date is the initial submission date prior to a wet signature, and the wet signature would not be used to determine the Application Sign Date. Please speak to your Financial Professional regarding exceptions that may apply.
Buffer: The amount of protected negative Index Return applied to the Account Value allocated to an Index Strategy at the end of an Index Strategy Term. Any negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer reduces the Account Value.
Cap Rate: The Cap Rate limits the amount of Index Credit that may be credited to the Index Strategy Base on any Index Strategy End Date when the Index Return is positive. A different Cap Rate may be declared for different Indices, Buffers, and different Index Strategy Terms. Cap Rates, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Cap Rate but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate. Renewal Cap Rates may differ from the Cap Rates used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1.00% for a one-year Index Strategy Term, 5.00% for a three-year Index Strategy Term and 10.00% for a six-year Index Strategy Term.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC"): This is a sales charge that may be deducted when you make a surrender or take a partial withdrawal from your Annuity. We refer to this as a "contingent" charge because it is imposed only if you surrender or take a withdrawal from your Annuity. The CDSC is also referred to as a surrender charge in this prospectus.
Index (Indices): The underlying Index or exchange traded fund associated with an Index Strategy and used to determine the Index Return in determining the Index Credit. You do not directly participate in an Index.
Index Credit: The percent of Index Return used to calculate the amount you receive on an Index Strategy End Date. The Index Credit can be negative, meaning you can lose principal and prior earnings. This may be expressed as an amount or percentage.
Index Linked Variable Income Benefit: A living benefit rider that is automatically included with the contract at issue and becomes effective on the Index Effective Date. This may also be referred to in the prospectus as the "Benefit."
Index Return: The percentage change in the Index Value from the Index Strategy Start Date to the Index Strategy End Date, which is used to determine the Index Credit for an Index Strategy. An Index Return is calculated by taking the Index Value on the Index Strategy End Date, minus the Index Value on the Index Strategy Start Date, and then dividing the result by the Index Value on the Index Strategy Start Date.
Index Strategy(ies): Any Index linked Allocation Option we make available in the Annuity for crediting interest based on the underlying Index associated with the Index Strategy, Buffer, and Index Strategy Term. We may offer other Index Strategies from time to time, subject to our rules.
Issue Date: The effective date of your Annuity. We will establish your Issue Date when we receive your complete Purchase Payment and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract in Good Order.
Owner: The Owner is either an eligible entity or person named as having ownership rights in relation to the Annuity.
Participation Rate: The percentage of any Index increase that will be used in calculating the Index Credit at the end of an Index Strategy Term for applicable Index Strategies. A different Participation Rate may be declared for different Index Strategies, Indices and Buffers. Participation Rates, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Participation Rate but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate. Renewal Participation Rates may differ from the Participation Rates used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 100% for the Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategy. The Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 60% for the Step Rate Plus Index Strategy.
Portfolio: An underlying mutual fund, or series thereof, in which a Variable Option of the Registered Separate Account invests. A Portfolio also may be referred to in this prospectus as an Underlying Portfolio.
Purchase Payment: A cash consideration in currency of the United States of America given to us in exchange for the rights, privileges, and benefits of the Annuity.
Separate Accounts: Refers to Pruco Life Insurance Company Flexible Premium Variable Annuity Account and the Index Strategies Separate Account, which hold assets associated with the Annuity issued by Pruco Life. Pruco Life Insurance Company Flexible Premium Variable Annuity Account assets held in support of the Variable Investment Sub-accounts are kept separate from all of our other assets and may not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct, while the assets in the Index Strategies Separate Account are not insulated from the creditors of Pruco Life.

Back to Table of Contents
Spread: On the Index Strategy End Date, the Spread reduces the value of positive Index Returns used in the calculation of Index Credits that may be applied to the Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategy. The Spread percentage may vary by Index, Index Strategy Term, Cap Rate and Buffer. Multiple Spread options (known as Spread A and Spread B) with different Cap Rates may be offered with the same level of Buffer. Spreads, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Spread but will never be greater than the Guaranteed Maximum Spread. Renewal Spreads may differ from the Spreads used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Maximum Spread equals 3.00% for a one-year Index Strategy Term.
Step Rate: The Step Rate is the declared rate that may be credited to amounts allocated to the applicable Index Strategies for any given Index Strategy Term if the Index Return is between zero (including zero) and the declared Step Rate. A different Step Rate may be declared for different Indices and Buffers. Step Rates, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Step Rate but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Step Rate. Renewal Step Rates may differ from the Step Rates used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Minimum Step Rate equals 1.00% for the Step Rate Plus Index Strategy.
Variable Option: A division of the Registered Separate Account. The Variable Option also may be referred to in this prospectus and the Contract as a Variable Investment Sub-account, Variable Sub-account, or Sub-account.

Index-Linked Options
The following is a list of Index Strategies currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Index Strategies listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses), offer new Index Strategies, and terminate existing Index Strategies. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at www.prudential.com/flexguard-income-rates. While the Benefit remains in force, you may not be able to invest in certain Index Strategies, as noted below.
Note: If amounts are removed from an Index Strategy before the end of its Index Strategy Term, we will apply an Interim Value adjustment. This may result in a significant reduction in your Account Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you waited until the end of the Strategy Term.
See "Description of Insurance Company, Registered Separate Account, and Investment Options" in the prospectus for a description of the Index Strategies' features. See "Charges and Adjustments" in the prospectus for more information about Interim Value adjustments.

1. This Index is a "price return index," not a "total return index," and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on the securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
2. This Index is an ETF. Index Values are based on the ETF's closing prices. The Index Values reflect a "price return," not a "total return," and therefore

do not reflect the dividends paid on the securities in which the ETF invests. In addition, fees and costs are deducted from the ETF, which reduces the ETF's performance. These factors will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the ETF or the securities which the ETF invests.
