Lego has officially confirmed its 1,911-piece PlayStation set, launching October 1 at $180. The detailed replica is near 1:1 scale to the original 1995 console, measuring 10.5 inches wide. It includes a faithful controller with non-functional mechanical buttons and two hidden dioramas: Ape Escape, featuring an island scene with a monkey helmet that lights up in red or blue, and Gran Turismo, complete with a tiny track and cars. This marks the first brick-built PlayStation hardware, though Lego and PlayStation have collaborated before — including the 2022 Horizon Forbidden West set and the Lego Horizon Adventures game. The set was announced during a State of Play livestream and continues Lego’s trend of retro gaming console replicas, following earlier Nintendo and Sega Genesis sets.

The Lego PlayStation set is designed for adult builders and collectors, offering both display value and nostalgic appeal. While the buttons don’t function, the set emphasizes aesthetic accuracy and playful details. With its launch date and price confirmed, fans can pre-order the set to secure their piece of gaming history in brick form.
