The brand-new, jaw-dropping Lego smart brick tech can recognize other bricks, activate effects and play music. They're debuting in Star Wars Lego sets this spring and we got an early look at CES 2026.

LEGO unveiled Smart Play at CES 2026, embedding interactive tech into bricks. The first Star Wars sets launch March 1, with preorders Jan. 9.

Benson also confirmed that the new initiative contains no artificial intelligence at all, as well as no camera.

The popular Lego group has launched its Smart Play, a new line of interactive bricks, at the CES 2026 event. The newly announced system comes with sensors, speakers, and wireless features to familiar pieces without relying on cameras or generative AI.

The event, covering more than 35,000 square feet, will be made up of 2 million LEGO bricks. More than 13,000 LEGO minifigures will be on display and for sale.
