- A Lego PlayStation has been leaked
- Original Sony home console and controller reportedly made from over 1,900 bricks
- It is expected to debut in December this year
Lego is reportedly developing its next set of gaming consoles, and it could be based on the iconic original PlayStation.
If this leak is accurate, then the PlayStation would join Lego’s growing catalog of brick-built consoles, which includes the Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari 26000, and Game Boy. Nintendo also produced a few 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 support Sony and Lego by collaborating more on sets.
All leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the source – Lego_Minecraft_Goat – has a strong track record of revealing early release dates, pricing and general information about unannounced sets, so there’s reason to believe claims that a Lego PlayStation is indeed on the way.

It’s also expected to be a full-sized machine, with the set including “at least the console itself and a controller” created using 1,911 bricks for an estimated price of $159.99 – that would make it a bit smaller than the 2,532-piece Atari and the 2,642-piece NES, but much larger than the 421-brick Game Boy.
Details were shared on Minecraft_Goat’s Instagram (above), along with the note that it’s slated for a “december commercial release.” That could make this build the perfect Christmas gift for the gamer in your life. (Izzy, if you’re reading this: I wouldn’t mind having one…)
As with previous releases, I expect the release 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 wishlist, and I wouldn’t be surprised if PlayStation’s Astrobot mascot appeared inside the machine, even if it’s a more recent addition to Sony’s mythos.
It seems I’m not the only one excited about this set. On social media, fans are already speculating what the set might look like in person – wondering if the disc tray lid will open, although personally I’m not sure how Lego would achieve that – and also wondering if it could pave the way for other PlayStation collaborations.
God of War, The Last of Us, And Astrobot craving shoo-ins – Astrobot fits the Lego toy theme, while The last of us and so on) God of War have a wider reputation thanks to TV projects that help them reach non-gamers.
We’ll have to wait and see what Sony and Lego have up their sleeves, but I’m keeping all my fingers crossed.
