{{Main|Playboy Special Edition}}

The success of ''Playboy'' magazine has led PEI to market other versions of the magazine, the [[Playboy Special Edition|''Special Edition''s]] (formerly called ''Newsstand Special''s), such as ''Playboy's College Girls''<ref>{{cite web|title=Where the Babes are |url=http://www.playboy.com/on-campus/features/topten/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050507174950/http://www.playboy.com/on-campus/features/topten/index.html |archive-date=May 7, 2005}}</ref> and ''Playboy's Book of Lingerie'', as well as the [[List of Playboy videos|''Playboy'' video]] collection.

===Braille===
The [[National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped]] (NLS) has published a [[braille]] edition of ''Playboy'' since 1970.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/nls/reference/circulars/magazines.html |title=NLS Reference Circular: Magazine Program (2007) |publisher=Loc.gov |date=August 25, 2010 |access-date=December 7, 2011}}</ref> The braille version includes all the written words in the non-braille magazine, but no pictorial representations. Congress cut off funding for the braille magazine translation in 1985, but U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan reversed the decision on [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] grounds.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.acb.org/magazine/2000/bf062000.html#bf16 |title=The Braille Forum, June 2000 |archive-date=May 10, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110510080522/http://www.acb.org/magazine/2000/bf062000.html#bf16 |access-date=December 9, 2005 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Online===
The growth of the Internet prompted the magazine to develop an official internet presence called ''Playboy'' Online in the late 1980s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Playboy joins computer revolution|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/04/02/Playboy-joins-computer-revolution/1116544338000/|access-date=2021-06-13|website=UPI}}</ref> The company launched Playboy.com, the official website for [[Playboy Enterprises]] and an online companion to ''Playboy'' magazine, in 1994.<ref name="ChicagoSun Feb2000">{{cite news |title=Disney Internet exec hops to Playboy.com |last=Wolinsky |first=Howard |page=59 |work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |date=February 23, 2000 |access-date=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www1.playboy.com/ |title=Playboy Web Space<!-- Bot generated title --> |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961220001705/http://www1.playboy.com/ |archive-date=December 20, 1996 |access-date=December 12, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref> As part of the online presence, Playboy developed a pay web site called the ''Playboy Cyber Club'' in 1995 which features online chats, additional pictorials, videos of [[Playboy Playmate|Playmates]] and Playboy Cyber Girls that are not featured in the magazine. Archives of past ''Playboy'' articles and interviews are also included.<ref name="TheRecord June1997">{{cite news |title=Playboy widening its use of The Web |last=Jones |first=Tim |page=H09 |work=The Record |date=June 23, 1997 |access-date=}}</ref> In September 2005, ''Playboy'' began publishing a digital version of the magazine.<ref>{{cite web|last=Johnston|first=Chris|date=2005-08-25|title=Playboy launches digital edition|url=http://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/aug/25/pressandpublishing.newmedia|access-date=2021-06-13|website=The Guardian}}</ref>

In 2010, Playboy introduced ''The Smoking Jacket'', a [[safe for work|safe-for-work]] website designed to appeal to young men, while avoiding nude images or key words that would cause the site to be filtered or otherwise prohibited in the workplace.<ref>{{Cite news |agency=Associated Press |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/07/21/DDR21EH4ED.DTL |title=Playboy busts out of mold on the Smoking Jacket |author=Don Babwin |date=July 21, 2010}}</ref>

In May 2011, Playboy introduced iplayboy.com, a complete, uncensored version of its near-700-issue archive, targeting the [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[iPad]].<ref name="CNN May2011">{{cite web |title=Playboy puts 57 years of articles, nudity online |last1=Griggs |first1=Branddon |last2=Susana |first2=Miguel |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/05/20/tech.playboy.issues.online/index.html |work=[[CNN]] |date=May 21, 2011 |accessdate=May 7, 2021 |archive-date=June 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210613084758/http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/05/20/tech.playboy.issues.online/index.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>  By launching the archive as a [[web app]], Playboy was able to circumvent both Apple's [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]] content restrictions and their 30% subscription fee.
