Last week, it was announced that Roblox will be released on PlayStation in October. The specific date was disclosed by Sony during its State of Play presentation. On October 10, users will have the opportunity to access the highly popular sandbox game on both the PS4 and PS5 gaming consoles, albeit through the utilization of backward compatibility. Roblox will provide comprehensive cross-platform compatibility, enabling users to explore the diverse range of experiences it offers alongside their friends, regardless of whether they access the platform through mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality devices, or Xbox consoles. Sony has expressed longstanding opposition towards the inclusion of Roblox on the PlayStation platform, mostly due to worries regarding user safety.

This apprehension stems from the fact that a significant portion of Roblox’s extensive user base, which amounts to approximately 66 million individuals engaging with the platform on a daily basis, consists of younger players. However, court documents that surfaced during the recent legal dispute between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Microsoft revealed that Sony’s position on the matter became less rigid in the previous year.
The initial release of Roblox occurred on the personal computer platform in 2006, followed by subsequent adaptations for iOS in 2012 and Android in 2014. The platform made its initial appearance on consoles in 2015, with its release on Xbox One (and its continued compatibility with Xbox Series X/S).

Nevertheless, since then, Roblox has not been made available on gaming consoles such as Sony or Nintendo for a period of eight years. In a formal declaration subsequent to a keynote address delivered at the Roblox Developer Conference held in San Francisco recently, Roblox made known that in the upcoming month, a substantial number of console users, exceeding 150 million, encompassing both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, will gain the capability to avail themselves of the complete array of Roblox encounters.
