Bandai Namco announced it will offer a plush PS1 console in Japanese arcades as part of the PlayStation 30th anniversary celebration. It will appear in crane games starting on October 9, 2025. There’s no word on whether or not we could eventually see it worldwide or in online crane games everyone can access.
While the PS1 plush is designed to be replica of the console, it will be larger than the original PlayStation. It is 42cm wide (~16.5 inches), while the original one was about 19cm (~7 inches). Likewise, it is 9cm tall (~3.5 inches), whereas the original was almost 4cm (~1.5 inches). The announcement didn’t note what type of fabric will be used. The images do show designs are printed on it to replicate the controller ports, buttons, and disc tray. (Said disc tray does not open.)
Here’s the official photo of the item.
The PlayStation first launched in Japan in December 1994, then appeared worldwide in September 1995. A number of products showed up to honor the occasion last year. For example, Sony released 30th anniversary variants of the PS5, PlayStation Portal, and DualSense controller.
The PS1 plush will appear in Japanese arcade crane games starting on October 9, 2025. It’s unknown if we will eventually see the item worldwide.
