At CES, LEGO revealed Smart Play, a new tech infused way to play with LEGO. The systems is powered by LEGO Smart Brick, a new type of brick that features a microchip smaller than a stud on the brick.

LEGO Smart Play launches March 1, 2026 starting with a galaxy far, far away and new Star Wars sets.

The system features the LEGO Smart Brick, LEGO Smart Tags, and LEGO Smart Minifigures that interact with each other with sounds, lights, and more.

The new platform features more than twenty patented world-firsts within its technology, and the LEGO SMART Brick – at the heart of the platform – is powered by a custom-made chip, measuring smaller than a standard LEGO stud.

The technology has been developed by the LEGO Group’s Creative Play Lab team to enable responsive physical play, breathing new life into builder’s LEGO creations through advanced, invisible technology.

The LEGO SMART Brick is packed with technologies that bring play to life including sensors, accelerometers, light sensing and a sound sensor as well as a miniature speaker driven by an onboard synthesiser, and much more, in addition to easy wireless charging.

LEGO SMART Tags and LEGO SMART Minifigures are paired with the LEGO SMART Brick to power the system and allow builders’ creations to become interactive, responding to actions with appropriate sounds and behaviors, allowing for a truly responsive play experience. All elements are compatible with the existing LEGO System-in-Play.

The system debuts with three “All-In-One” LEGO Star Wars sets.
