Solana (SOL) is getting ready to dish out the first blockchain gaming consoles, resembling the good old days of Nintendo’s Game Boy, but with a very much needed crypto twist. “The wait is over”, states Play Solana’s official X announcement on the PSG1 game console’s shipping.
This one-of-a-kind gaming device incorporates all the retro gaming features many of the Millennials have longed for. Aside from the nostalgia, the tweaked retro game features now offer a gaming economy model that’s integrated with the blockchain on a hardware level.
Play With Solana By Fusing Pixel Classics With Web3 Power
Built on Rockchip RK3588S Octa-Core ARM CPU, this play on Game Boy has a 5 inch OLED display & 8 gigs of RAM. Notably, the PSG1 device can store digital collectibles without ever relying on external apps.

Certainly, crypto account management options are built directly into the sleek software, so Web3 players can manage their crypto wallet while playing games on PSG1. The gaming aesthetics are well matched with some of the nostalgic retro titles like Sonic, Super Mario & Alien Invaders, but there’s more to it.
The new PSG1 is set to shine as the main distribution channel for Solana’s (SOL) upcoming Web3 games, with full support for Solana-based decentralized applications (dApps). This makes it easy for the PSG1 to run modern games with high pixel rate as well.
Solana’s gaming console can simulate Dreamcast, PS1, PS2 & GameCube without ever breaking a sweat, claims the official YouTube advert. Namely, the first Solana crypto gaming devices are shipped out on the 6th of October, 2025 for the starting price of $329.
