Featuring Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Wild Arms and 17 other legendary titles, the new mini-console launches December 3 at an MSRP of $99.99 (CAD$129.99).
Almost 25 years ago, the original PlayStation was introduced to the world. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment, it was the first home console in video game history to ship 100 million units worldwide, offering consumers a chance to play games with real-time 3D rendered graphics in their homes.
Today, we are excited to announce that we are bringing back the original PlayStation experience in a new miniaturized version – PlayStation Classic! The console will come pre-loaded with 20 classic titles, including fan-favorites such as Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms.
The mini console is approximately 45% smaller than the original PlayStation, and it emulates the original’s look and feel by featuring similar controllers and packaging. Long-time fans will appreciate the nostalgia that comes with rediscovering the games they know and love, while gamers who might be new to the platform can enjoy the groundbreaking PlayStation console experience that started it all. All of the pre-loaded games will be playable in their original format.
Available for pre-order at select retailers across the US and CAN, each unit will also come with an HDMI cable to connect to their TV, a USB cable, and two controllers for local multiplayer within compatible titles. PlayStation Classic will be available for $99.99 USD (MSRP) / $129.99 CAN (MSRP) on December 3, 2018 – a historic date for all of us at PlayStation.
Visit PlayStation.com for more details on regional availability, and stay tuned to the Blog for the full lineup of titles coming to PlayStation Classic. There are more fan favorites, and we can’t wait to share more details in the coming months.

*AC adaptor sold separately
I have one question. well more like a request…please for the love of god and all that is holy please add Lunar 1 or 2 to the system! i feel the series has been long forgotten and its a shame. my little brother recently asked me what is my favorite RPG on the playstation 1 and when i told him Lunar 2 he looked at me like i was some alien. recently he played the copy of silver star harmony i have the vita. After that he too claims it as one of his all time favorite RPGs on a sony console. for the next generation and us oldies please bring it back. especially Lunar 2 seeing how you have released it for EU but not NA PS-store.
I still have the original playstation 1! Those same games will come out for the PlayStation 1??
Only 20 pre-loaded
games? How we get more games? buying
again on PS store?
Why we get that simple controller instead of Dualshock
? Will my CD
original games work on this ”
Classic”
? And no AC adaptor. So why should I buy this “Classic Console” when I could buy a PC
or a Raspberry pi3 with an emulator and I’ll get the same result spending less.
The Raspberry is the way to go. There’s no reason to buy this other than nostalgia.
When nintendo released the nes classic and snes classic, they didn’t release it with joy cons for the switch! They released the systems with the controllers that originally came with them! The controllers are part of the whole nostalgic deal! Either you want it or you don’t! If you don’t, DON’T BUY IT!
