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’m so excited for this.
What are the full game list?
Does it come with Final Fantasy VIII?
Seriously, only 20 games when the NES mini and SNES mini have more pre-loaded games on them?
I loved PS1 from the start, and still to this day! PS1 games came with an originality and style of development that you don’t see in today’s games! Many PS1 games were sized-down original arcade classics or original designs. Will I be able to play PS1 classsic game CD’s on it!? I see Ridge Racer type 4 will be one of the 20 in it. I still have my orginal RRT4 cd!
“Does it come with Final Fantasy VIII?”
Really?
“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.”
@TySoltaur
NES ROMs top out around 512KB, and SNES ROMs go up to about 4MB. PS1 EBOOTs start somewhere from 12 to 25 times that and can go upwards of 2.5GB (such as if the 5-disc Riven were brought into the mix). That alone makes a smaller game count reasonable.
I looks like the console has real outlets for controllers. Does this work with PS2 and PS1 controllers? Since i literally have like 5 or so still lying around 3 that are as good as new. Would be awesome if i could get any use out of them.
It better have Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid!!
Please!! Metal Gear Solid must be there!!! And Also crash team racing; FFVIII and IX; Legend of Dragoon; GT; Spyro; ahh, too many games!!!
Thank you I will buy this for sure
i’ll only get it if it comes with Chrono Cross or the legend of dragoon
Please confirm Legends of Dragoon is on this!
Don’t buy this crap. Sony could of gave us ps classic on the PS4 but didn’t want too. Games like Xenogears, breathe of fire, legend of dragon, dragon ball Z Final Bout but nope.
Xenogears? If not at least give us a port to the PS4…
@cgmcav
VIII = 8
VII = 7
So it was a valid question.
I was exited for about 2 minutes until i realized it dosnt look like it can play discs, 20 games loaded and no way to play my own discs, no thanks waste of money
I would rather play these on PSN.
Please include Suikoden 1 and/or 2.
Suikoden is a true PlayStation classic. A console true to the classics must include this.
129$ for 20 games?? jesus… great way for sont to make extra money… get a simulator on your PC or MAC laptop, hooked up to my TV with HDMI, and play with a wireless remote (i use my ps4 remote). FREE! and ALL THE GAMES lol… thanks but no thanks Sony. what a disappointment
*crosses fingers* Jade cocoon please…..
Ac adaptors sold separately???
For only 20 games it seems a bit undercut for the price. Sony, please consider adding more games to the pot!! Still very excited about this release!
Only games I want for it are Crash Bandicoot and Cool Boarders
I have bunch of PS1 games that I’ve purchased which I can only play on my PS3 that I no longer have because I upgraded to PS4 Pro. Please bring PS1 support to the PS4 , so we can play our existing purchased games. Be on the Gamers side for once Sony!!!!
You’re going to have a lot of upset people who don’t know why their PlayStation Classic isn’t turning on, or keeps rebooting due to insignificant power from using their own USB wall adapter that came with their phone 5 years ago.
For $100, you can throw that in. Make sure everyone’s gaming experience is enjoyable.
Super excited for this… but a few games this absolutely needs are: Final fantasy tactics; Grand Turismo; Command and Conquer; Tomb Raider; and Syphon Filter.
If it doesn’t have at least one of these, I might wait and pick up the Xbox edition of FFVII next year… as that’s the one core game that [so far] makes this interesting.
Am I the only one hoping for Legend of Dragoon? How about some love for Ape Escape? Tony Hawk Pro Skater?
Please include an optical drive.
Is there going to be trophies?
So FF VIII?
I hope it will have Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Tomb Raider 1-5, Soul Blade, Need for Speed 3, Croc 1 & 2, Nightmare Creatures, Nuclear Strike on it.
Also, will we be able to buy games? Or if we have discs (I currently own 165 PS1 games on disc) can we transfer those onto this system?
When and where can I preorder. I would love to have one….no…I MUST have one!
Will it have Azure Dreams on it?
Why the hell wouldn’t they include the DualShock controllers? Idiotic mistake already.
I forgot from earlier, please included LOADED!!!!
Shut up and take my money!! This is going to be an awseome christmass gift!!
When it’s going to be available for pre-order in Europe? Thank you Sony ❤
I only want one thing. A USB or cartridge port that new game can be sold later and played on the system.
Dragon quest 7 (Dragon warrior 7 in west) must be included.
* A compatible USB AC adaptor (not included) is required to use this console. Use an AC adaptor that supports 5 V, 1.0 A USB (Type A) output
Are you kidding me? $100 and no AC adaptor!?! pfff
Why is there no AC adapter included? I hope this is a mistake. I swear I will walk into a store and steal whatever “official” ac adapter Sony tries to sell just to spite them if they seriously do not include one in the box.
Some of you really do set yourselves up for failure with over expecting but I will say the funniest comment so far has been “be on the gamers side for once, Sony!” in reference to Sony adding ps1 support to ps4. I maybe wrong but I don’t know alot of people who are begging for this feature other than nostalgia hounds.
Please put Nightmare Creatures on it!!!!
…. $100 for only 20 games AND you dont include a power cable? What a rip off.
The price is pretty steep honestly (especially for us Canucks), but I’m impressed they really did it. I wonder if we’ll see a PS2 and 3 Mini down the line.
If it comes with the game “Board Game: Top Shop” I’ll buy it no questions asked.
I didn’t get the ps4 I’m still a loyal fan of the ps3 but Sony you out done your self yet again I already pre order the ps1 Classic and happy for it I do like that you staying on top of the gaming industry just the first ps4 wasn’t to much of a upgrade the ps4 pro would be my idea ps4 consoles but I will be on the for front for the ps5 if I have the $$$ will go for the day lunch hopefully you make the ps5 like a power house just like the ps3 did can’t wait to get a piece of history the ps1 Classic thank you Sony
I am still sore not being able to buy my PS1 classics I bought on PS3 on my PS4. There is no way I am buying this. Give us our PS1 digital collections on PS4!
Hi ppl . i really like old ps1 games are if you consider that games like ff7 is 4 disc and orher titles may be the same . Nintendo and the others dont stake up , I’m not saying nes was bad . it’s the first unit i had and my sister in-law and i had competition on whom would beat games first . i beat mario 12&3 first . never care for sega except for sonic and mega man is back on tv too but i can’t wait to get the ps1 classic because it probably will save money and room ( since games will store in it and not my ps3) so this is a deal . thanks to all and play harder
This is great, can’t wait one of my favorites was Tomb Raider and Doom.
I’m excited for this, just wish the full game list was there, although all the best games may be a surprise! Who knows!?
this so cool I’m excited for this so bad
Wow a lot of people complaining about something amazing, the back looks like the same charger used on an android device. I preordered mine PS fan since 97!!!!! The best video game company in the world.
Bushido blade
I hope this includes the Tomb Raider’s, Metal Gear and Hogs of War.
@TySoltaur
“Seriously, only 20 games when the NES mini and SNES mini have more pre-loaded games on them?”
Do you really not understand how much larger PS1 games are then 8-bit and 16-bit Nintendo titles?
@TySoltaur :You cannot compare NES and SNES game size with the ones from a PS1. Just Final Fantasy VII is 3 discs. Use your logic here! This is like 10 to 30 times bigger than the Nintendo generation.
so cool. hope john madden is on there
One game, Sony. There is one game I want to see on here. I will accept all the rest as long as I get this one on the Classic.
REVELATIONS: PERSONA
Please do not disappoint.
will it include Crash Bandicoot or Spyro 1
Syphon Filter 1, 2, 3
Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, 3
Crash Bash
Crash Team Racing
Castlevania SOTN
Harvest Moon BTN
Twisted Metal
@TySoltaur You can literally fit every single NES game on 1 CD, every SNES game would also almost fit on 1 CD. There were plenty of PS games that were 3-4 CDs each.
cool
Hopefully they add demolition derby
Hopefully they can add demolition derby
I love the idea of this, but I’ve already purchased PlayStation classics on my PSN Account, and would love a current gen device to play THOSE on instead of having to rebuy them again on PS4 or a whole new device. Is there internet connectivity? A digital store front? PSN Account connectivity? Or is it just another way to spend $100 to play FFVII in a semi nostalgic way?
Some games I wish would make it on this list are any of these series.
1. Suikoden 1 / Suikoden 2
2. Silent Hill
3. Castlevania Symphony of the Night
4. Battle Arena Toshinden 1-3
5. Lunar Silver Star Story Complete / Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
6. Resident Evil 2
7. Mortal Kombat Trilogy
8. Parasite Eve 1 / Parasite Eve 2
9. Chrono Cross
10. Final Fantasy Tactics
11. Breath of Fire 3 / Breath of Fire 4
12. Bust A Groove / Bust A Groove 2
13. Persona 1 Revolutions / Persona 2 Eternal Sin
14. Street Fighter Alpha 3 / Street Fighter Ex + Alpha
15. Legacy of Kain / Legacy of Kain :Soul Reaver
16. Xenogears
17. Vagrant Story
18. Vandal Hearts 1 / Vandal Hearts 2
19. Alundra 1 / Alundra 2
20. Rival Schools 1 & 2
They need to put Resident Evil on this!!!
Any Gran Turismos, Toshindens, Wipeouts, Marvel/SF/X-men/Capcom fighting games, NBA Jam: TE, Spyro, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Destruction Derby, Oddworld, FF 8&9, Suikodens, Castlevanias, Tomb Raider please
My biggest childhood had returned, I’m really forward to buy this mini console, so cute. It gives me very nostalgic ever since it was my first console. One thing is, Will it include every other games like Einhänder since Final Fantasy VII is getting a preloaded game and it’s from SqaureSoft. The Lost World Jurassic Park for PS1 and original Spyro games. I wanna know please so it can be worth it to buy it!!
You guys need to add Metal Gear Solid.pls
Only 20 games and no power adapter? I see trying to get in on the band wagon with everyone else and put out a mini digital version of a classic console. But common no way to power it straight out of the box? I get it everyone must have an old charging block from and old phone or something else laying in a drawer somewhere but that it’s just stupid. How many people do you think will know what kind of ac adapter to get. I’ve always loves Sony all of your products not just video game systems. But only 20 games? Really? Come on Sony!!!!! And for $100 Usd that is just a slap to the face for most of your customers including me. I have two Ps 1 and a ps2 and a ps3 and a ps4………… I’d say I’ve been a loyal customer. Why not instead of jumping on the money train too bank town you be loyal to the customer and be different from the other competitors, In a good way, not negative like no ac adapter negative and include an ac adapter and include more games or a way to add more games to it via Ps Store or Rom downloads. Miss good old companys that thought about what they were doing and not how to squeeze more money out of their customers.
Xenogear, final fantasy tactics, breath of fire 3 are the ones I would like to play again or see on the ps4
favorite games: “legacy of kain” , “medievil”, “tomb raider”‘,”Rollcage”and “Fifth element”. The console seems small to fit any cd-roms
This is awesome. Klonoa door to Phantomile is my favorite PlayStation memory. The whole game was such an engaging experience. The story was phenomenal and the gameplay was super fun. Challenging but super rewarding
PLLEASE HAVE GRAN TURISMO!!
Hey Sony, put wifi in this beast and have a store front for PS1 games. sell it for 150. Id do that.
