- A Lego PlayStation has been leaked
- The original Sony home console and controller would be made from over 1,900 bricks.
- Its debut is scheduled for December of this year.
Lego is reportedly developing its next gaming console, and it could be based on the iconic original PlayStation.
If this leak is correct, then the PlayStation would join Lego’s growing catalog of traditional consoles, which includes the Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari 26000 and Game Boy. Nintendo has also produced a pair of PlayStation-owned themed sets based on the Horizon: Zero Dawn series (I proudly have the Lego Tallneck and a custom scene on display in my office); there is also the lego horizon adventures game, all of which supports Sony and Lego collaborating more on sets.
All leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the source, Lego_Minecraft_Goat, has a solid track record of accurately revealing release dates, pricing, and general information about unannounced sets in advance, so there’s reason to believe claims that a Lego PlayStation is on the way.

It should also be a full-size machine, with the set supposedly featuring “at least the console itself and one controller” created from 1,911 pieces for an estimated price of $159.99; this would make it slightly smaller than the Atari at 2,532 pieces and the NES at 2,642 pieces, but much larger than the Game Boy at 421 pieces.
The details were shared on Minecraft_Goat’s Instagram (above), along with the note that it’s scheduled for a “retail release in December.” This could make the build the perfect Christmas gift for the gamer in your life. (Izzy, if you’re reading this: I wouldn’t mind getting one…)
As with previous releases, I expect the version to incorporate easter eggs based on PlayStation classics – Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil would be at the top of my wish list – and I wouldn’t be surprised if PlayStation’s Astrobot mascot appeared inside the machine, even if it’s a more recent addition to the Sony mythos.
Looks like I’m not the only person excited about this set. On social media, fans are already speculating what the set would look like in person, wondering if the disc tray lid will open – although I’m personally not sure how Lego would achieve this – and also wondering if this could open the way for more PlayStation collaborations.
God of war, the last of us, and Astrobot feel like a safe bet: Astrobot fits the Lego toy theme, while the last of us etc) god of war They have greater notoriety thanks to television projects that help them reach non-gamers.
We’ll have to wait and see what Sony and Lego have up their sleeves, but I have all my fingers crossed.
