Roblox Coming to PlayStation Consoles in October
Roblox founder and CEO, David Baszucki, announced at the 2023 Roblox Developers Conference that the popular 3D gaming platform will finally be available on PlayStation consoles starting in October. This comes 17 years after Roblox was first released in 2006. While the free-to-play game is currently available on various platforms, the absence of a PlayStation version has been a notable omission.
Baszucki revealed that support for Roblox on PlayStation has been a project the company has been working on behind the scenes. Roblox currently has 65.5 million daily active users and has experienced a surge in popularity, particularly among kids and teens, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PlayStation version of Roblox will offer cross-platform gameplay, allowing players on mobile, console, and VR headsets to play together. The game’s product design director, Tsitsi Kolawole, showcased the PlayStation 5 version and highlighted its fidelity and performance on the high-end console.
Additional Platforms and Future Plans
Baszucki mentioned that Roblox has plans to expand to one or two additional platforms in the future. The company has already been working on bringing the game to PlayStation consoles, and the announcement at the Developers Conference marks a significant milestone in their efforts. Reports of Roblox coming to PlayStation consoles first emerged months ago during Activision and Microsoft’s FTC case.
Roblox representatives have pointed to a blog post about the Developers Conference announcements for more information on future plans. The addition of Roblox to PlayStation consoles opens up new possibilities for players and further expands the reach of the popular gaming platform.
Hot Take
The introduction of Roblox to PlayStation consoles is an exciting development for both Roblox enthusiasts and PlayStation gamers. With its massive user base and cross-platform gameplay, Roblox has the potential to create a vibrant and engaging community on PlayStation. This move not only diversifies the gaming options available on PlayStation but also solidifies Roblox’s position as one of the leading gaming platforms in the industry. As Roblox continues to expand to new platforms, it opens up new avenues for growth and innovation, ensuring that players of all backgrounds can enjoy the immersive and interactive experience offered by the platform.
