What is the PlayStation console cushion case?

PlayStation turns the original 1994 console into home décor

PlayStation and Takarajimasha announced a new product: the First Model Multi Cushion Case Book. It takes inspiration from the original first-generation PlayStation console design—the kind released in 1994—and reimagines that iconic look as a slim cushion case.

What it looks like and how it’s positioned

The release is designed as a “multi cushion case,” meaning it’s meant to function as a flexible cushion accessory while also acting like a collectible design object. Modeled directly on the physical shape and styling cues of the early PlayStation, it’s aimed at fans who want console nostalgia translated into everyday living space items rather than electronics.

Why it matters

This is a clear sign that classic hardware branding is extending beyond gaming and into lifestyle collectibles. Instead of a new console or controller, PlayStation is leaning into the aesthetic of the earliest era of the platform—using a format that’s easier to buy, display, and repurpose at home.

For consumers, it also suggests a low-commitment way to engage with retro tech fandom: you get the look without needing to power anything on. And because it’s presented as a “book” product, it’s likely marketed as a branded collectible bundle rather than a standalone accessory.

Who it’s for

• Longtime PlayStation owners who recognize the original console shape
• Collectors interested in licensed nostalgia items
• Anyone looking for small home décor that doubles as fandom memorabilia
