First released in 2000, Sony’s PlayStation 2 went on to become thebest-selling gaming consoleof all time until being dethroned by the Nintendo Switch in December 2024. Over 4,000 games would be released for the hardware during its lifespan, with the PS2 selling over 160 million units globally to date. 25 years later, the console’s legacy continues to be a common topic of conversation in the gaming space, with major releases for theFinal Fantasy,Kingdom Hearts, andGrand Theft Autofranchises on the PS2 dubbed some of the best. Recently, one creative fan found a new way to show love for Sony’s legendary home gaming console, and their design may eventually end up in homes around the world.
A post made by user RippleDrive on theLEGO Ideaswebsite details plans for a LEGO PS2 set, which has garnered enough support to be officially considered by the Danish company for mass production. If released, the set would allow PlayStation fans to not only construct a PS2 console out of LEGO bricks, but also craft its controllers, memory cards, and internal components as well. In its current state, the set contains over 2,000 pieces and is close to 1:1 scale when compared to the original non-slim PlayStation 2. While it’s unclear whether it will get Sony’s approval, fans are keeping their fingers crossed that the design will appear on store shelves sometime in the future. According to RippleDrive, they chose to build the PS2 because it is their “favorite video game console of all time,” and “video game-related LEGO sets have been successful.”
