A Lego set featuring a replica of the original PlayStation console was officially unveiled on September 3. The set, Lego PlayStation (72306), captures the look of Sony's iconic gray console and its first controller, offering a nostalgic experience for fans of the PS1. The set is currently available for pre-order on both the Lego website and PlayStation Direct, Sony's official store. Alongside the console, buyers can also construct a small robot named Astro Bot, the mascot of Sony's Astro Bot series, which is offered as a free gift with purchase under certain conditions.
Priced at 159.99 euros, the Lego PlayStation set is significantly cheaper than the original PS1, which cost 2,099 French francs (about 320 euros at the time) when it launched in France in 1995. The Lego PlayStation set will be available starting October 1st on PlayStation Direct and for early access on Lego.com for members of Lego Insiders, the brand's free loyalty program. The general release through Lego.com and other retailers is scheduled for Sunday, October 4, 2026.
For those who order between October 1st and October 7th, the Lego PlayStation set comes with the Lego Astro Bot (40899) set at no extra cost. On PlayStation Direct, both items must be added to the same cart for the discount to apply automatically at checkout. On Lego.com, the Lego Astro Bot is given as a gift with any purchase of 150 euros of eligible Lego products. The Lego PlayStation set alone meets the threshold for the gift, though buyers should confirm the inclusion of the Astro Bot in their cart before finalizing the purchase.
The Lego PlayStation set includes 1,911 pieces and recreates the original console in full scale, standing over 6 cm tall, 26 cm wide, and 19 cm deep. It features the gray casing, circular lid, and the Power and Open buttons, making it instantly recognizable. The set also includes miniature versions of two classic PS1 games: Gran Turismo and Ape Escape. These dioramas are removable and can be displayed separately or kept inside the console. One small detail that may catch the eye of enthusiasts is that the Ape Escape diorama requires a DualShock controller, which is not included in the Lego set. Sony has also announced that it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs starting in January 2028.
