Introducing PlayStation Classic, with 20 Pre-Loaded Games

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).

PlayStation Classic

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.

PlayStation Classic

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.

  • Hmm its very small will i be able to play my old ps1 game disc on it? Cause if I’m stuck with the 20 games ill pass. Sega, atari, & Nintendo did it. I Just need a confirmation before a purchase

  • I have never owned a PS1, however, I have owned a PS2 when I was like, 10 years old.
    I am so excited about this though. I have played a lot of PS1 games with my older brothers.
    This is going to be awesome when it comes out.

  • TINY TANK!!!

  • TINY TANK!!!???

  • Vagrant Story, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Team Racing, Cool Boarders, Jet Moto 2, Parapa the Rappa….. all these must be on it!!!

  • Please include trophies

  • I’m not sure what the full game list is going to be, but there’s a rumor floating around that not all 20 games have been selected. if that’s the case I’d like to suggest the 1st “Resident Evil” game, that game was awesome when it first came out, as well as “Driver 2”

  • Tenchu please please please!!!!!!!!

  • I have an original PSX power cord and console of course. Would it work?
    I want Medievil, Medievil ll Spryro 1-3, Rayman, Crash.

  • Please MK Trilogy.

  • I would like to see online multiplayer with this Mini Classic Edition. Imagine playing vanilla Teken 3 or Twisted Metal 2 online with your friends. I would definitely buy this if it had the option to play online multiplayer. I believe if they added this as an option it would show PlayStation fans that it not just an upgrade from the PlayStation 1 but it is a completely different video game experience. Like why buy this if there is original PlayStation 1s on amazon or ebay for $40 or less and you can buy whatever game you want for $5 or less, or even used video game stores sell these products for less.

  • My favorite memories is playin Lara Croft Tomb Raider with my dad, Tekken 2 & Tekken 3, oh and playin battle arena and xena the warrior princess … oh and the rugrats game, and of course crash bandicoot… I got a few more with my family…. buuuut I already wrote a paragraph

  • The price will need to come down a bit, the original console was selling for less at the end of its life cycle. Besides that I need to know if more games can be added and if this can be done same as with the NES/SNES or will we be charged by Sony to add them. And why in same hell would the AC adapter be sold separately?

    • You had to flash the NES/SNES bios and add your own ROMs (hack) to increase the number of titles. It wasn’t officially licensed downloaded games from Nintendo. As far as the number of games on the PS1 Classic, the PS1 Roms are significantly larger so there’s an additional cost in parts. I am guessing someone will hack the PS1 Classic make the bios flash available and people will add their own ROMs as well. The only issue I find will happen is one of capability, being some PS1 games required the dual shock controller.

    • The difference between this and the SNES is 20 dollars. 16-bit era games vs 32, honestly I don’t see them offering it for much less. Maybe if Sega, along with the Mega Drive Mini, release a Saturn plug and play, Sony may drop the price of their offering. But that’s highly doubtful.

  • Abe’s Odyssee..
    Syphon Filter series.
    Wipeout.
    Resident Evil series.
    NHL.
    Medievil.
    Spyro.
    Pretty please.

  • 1. Why not let us buy/download more PSOne Classics available on the PS Store to it? PSTV was already offering that for the same price. I’d strongly prefer not having included corded controllers, but instead, have the ability to buy any PSOne Classics and use it my retro console to bring to family parties to play some Crash Team Racing!
    2. AC Adapter sold separately? So this product is incomplete? Is it the same AC Adapter that the PS1/PSOne used?

  • Twisted Metal 2
    Spider-Man
    Speed Punks
    CTR Crash Team Racing
    Crash Bandicoot
    Crash Bash
    Sypro the Dragon
    Dino Crisis
    Einhander
    Earthworm Jim 2
    Castlevania Symphony of the Night
    Resident Evil 3 Nemesis
    Silent Hill
    Driver
    Jet Moto 3

  • Yes also please MK Trilogy and Resident Evil 2..Give the people what they want!!

  • I had (possibly have) the PS1 and the first game I played and love still to this day is worms and v-rally , can’t wait for the next console to be released

  • So which AC adapter it uses. The 3 or 2 hole adapter?

  • X-men: Children of the atom!

  • You guys could really release PS1 classics for PS4.
    Then make this system PSN compatible and able to buy more classics from the store to play either on it or the PS4, that would be great.
    Trophy support for those games would also be amazing.
    And The Legend of Dragoon NEEDS to be there, I’ll not forgive you if you screw it this bad again.
    Stop sitting over the best game of all time and let me play it all over again both on it and the PS4.
    If I could platinum it, that would be my most cherished platinum trophy ever, just do it! Make me the happiest man alive!

  • 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.

  • This thing definitely needs DualShock controllers, though.

  • * 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……wow!

  • The icing on the cake would be the ability to download additional PS1 games from PSN, and the option to purchase the original dual shock to support those games.

  • We have seen these hacked and people added more games before. Why not make it to were you can buy and d/l more games to it later. That would be nice to see that Nintendo never did. :)

  • I had all the PlayStation consoles from PS1 to PS4. Sadly I lost my PS1 though

    • Yeah I still have all of them. Some more then one of. I would buy this. Price is right on I think. I am glad I kept my old PS1 now though the PS2 and PS3 plays PS1 games better. I would like to see a PS2 Classic as well if this does well.

  • So I pay $100 and it doesn’t include an AC adapter?

    • I have like 10 or more of those setting around for all kinds of things. If it keeps the cost down then that is good. :P

  • Can we play original PlayStation games on the console or are the original discs to big?

  • Pliisss NASCAR RUMBLE!!!!

  • Are the twisted metal games going to be on there? Also driver one and 2?

  • test drive 5, and/ or wu-tang shaolin style

  • Terrible price for what’s offered, and there’s no sufficient power source included unless you spend another $15-20 on an ac adapter. I’m taking a hard pass on this low quality crash grab, besides my PS3 can play physical or digital PSX games and honestly I have no desire to play early 3-D games I grew up with. The difference between NES & SNES Classics are the Nintendo games hold up good and PSX games don’t. I’m a big Sony fan and supporter but this is BS.

  • 25 years? Noooo. More like 20. Nice try Playstation. Im still buying it tho. You aint gotta lie.

  • Legend of Dragoon, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, Dino Crisis, FFVIII……I hope it has these…..an looking forward to this, although I am a little upset about not coming with a USB Adapter…..like da faq man? Lol! Anyways, FFVII and Wild Arms I am excited for! Hope the other titles are worthwhile….

  • you can´t play your old ps1 discs sadly the disc tray is just a decoration. im so angry at sony but i have gotten information that mortal combat and crash 2 and metal gear solid.

  • Syphon Filter 1, 2, 3

    Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, 3

    Crash Bash

    Crash Team Racing

    Castlevania SOTN

    Harvest Moon BTN

    Twisted Metal

  • hope it come with resident evil’s origins collections.

  • Why would the power cord be sold separately? For $100 I expect to be able to play with the piece of equipment I just purchase out of the box. This really makes no sense.

  • I wouldn’t mind if I pay $125 for the Playstation Classic as long as Sony added the ac adapter and change the included 20 games to 25 games. And if we don’t like the included games atleast give us the option to add 10 more games digitally.

    • my 15 list beside the other 5

      metal gear solid
      syphon filter

  • Definitely need to throw Syphon Filter greatness!!

  • Hopefully Crash Bandicoot is on here, even if there’s already the N. Sane Trilogy. It’d be really weird and dumb to make a PS1 Classic without Crash.

  • To whom it may concern at Sony Computer Entertainment I would like to see Omega boost Bruce Willis apocalypse and last but not least crazy ivan I believe if you add these three titles improve your lineup.

    Sincerely.
    streetghost559

  • The game I’m hoping will be on there above all else is Legend of the Dragoon.

  • Let’s see, no a/c adapter, can’t play any other games except what’s preloaded and no dual shock controllers. How’s this a good deal? You can play these games on PS NOW.

  • AC Adapter sold separately… Really!!! So someone will buy it as a present or for themselves and won’t be able to turn it on. Come on Sony! Stop trying to suck our money! Just add PS1 games to PS Now. I thought you pride yourselves on ‘For The Players!’

  • please post all the games it comes with. even nintendo posted the games on both nes and snes classics.

  • Okay…recommended adapters? I see that this is the requirement: 5 V, 1.0 A USB (Type A) output but Amazon has a million of them. Any one that is guaranteed to fit? What is the input on this? MicroUSB?

  • If it includes:
    Digimon Rumble Arena
    Crash Team Racing
    Megaman 8, X4 and X5
    Final Fantasy VIII
    Running Wild
    Tomba!
    Street Fighter Alpha 3

    …then I’m getting it on day one. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
