LEGO’s expanding collection of retro gaming sets could soon welcome another iconic console, with new reports suggesting the company is preparing a brick-built version of Sony’s original PlayStation for release next year.

Details emerging from well-known LEGO community sources indicate that a PlayStation 1 replica is currently under development and could arrive during the final months of 2026.

According to the leaks, the set is expected to be called the Sony PlayStation 1 Console and will reportedly feature 1,911 pieces. The model is also said to include a brick-built PlayStation controller, recreating one of gaming’s most recognisable accessories.

If the reported US$159 price is accurate, the set would cost approximately A$245, although local Australian pricing would likely vary depending on taxes and regional adjustments.

While LEGO has not officially acknowledged the project, the reported piece count suggests a substantial display model aimed at collectors and gaming enthusiasts. At nearly 2,000 pieces, the rumoured PlayStation build would be considerably larger than the company’s Sega Genesis set, though it would remain smaller than the highly detailed Nintendo Entertainment System kit, which included a buildable television and featured more than 2,600 pieces.

Interest in a LEGO version of Sony’s first console has existed for years. A fan-created PlayStation concept previously gained enough support on the LEGO Ideas platform to reach the review stage, demonstrating strong demand among both LEGO builders and PlayStation fans. However, it remains unclear whether the reported retail set has any connection to that earlier community submission.

Beyond the basic specifications, little is known about the final design. Enthusiasts are already speculating about possible features, including functional buttons, a movable disc tray and hidden details inspired by the original 1994 hardware.

Should the project become reality, it would further strengthen LEGO’s growing focus on gaming nostalgia. Recent years have seen the company release brick-built versions of classic hardware including the Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari 2600, Sega Genesis and Game Boy.

For now, no official images, packaging or product descriptions have surfaced. Nevertheless, multiple respected LEGO insiders have pointed to the same release window, fuelling expectations that Sony’s landmark console could soon join the ranks of LEGO’s most sought-after gaming collectibles.

Until LEGO makes an official announcement, fans will need to treat the reports as rumours. Even so, the prospect of assembling a PlayStation 1 from nearly 2,000 LEGO pieces is already generating significant excitement among collectors and gamers alike.
