When is Roblox coming to PlayStation? Here’s when you can start playing on PS4 and PS5
In 2006, this popular online game Roblox launched on PC, before making its way to mobile and Xbox platforms a few years later
The massive online game Roblox is finally coming to PlayStation this week, but when exactly can you play it?
Roblox, originally introduced on PC in 2006, has evolved into one of the most monumental games in history, with a staggering 164 million monthly active users recorded in 2020. While it made its debut on Xbox One in 2015, it curiously remained absent from PlayStation platforms. After a 17-year journey since its inception, Roblox is at last making its way to the PS4 and, thanks to backward compatibility, the PS5 as well. This exciting development was announced just last month, and players can look forward to experiencing Roblox on PlayStation devices later this week.
Roblox is a multifaceted online multiplayer game that seamlessly combines elements of both an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) and a game creation platform. Within this dynamic ecosystem, users possess the remarkable ability to craft their own items, skins, and games, all available for purchase or play by other members of the community. Remarkably, Roblox is not just a platform for original creations; it also hosts fan-made games that pay homage to existing titles such as Counter-Strike and Among Us.
Roblox has attracted the attention of various companies seeking to leverage its popularity for promotional purposes. A prime example is SEGA, which entered into a licensing agreement allowing Sonic the Hedgehog to make an appearance in a Roblox game known as Sonic Speed Simulator. This collaboration exemplifies how Roblox has become a platform where companies can engage with a vast audience and promote their products or franchises. Gamefam, a developer active in the Roblox ecosystem, was responsible for bringing this exciting venture to life.
When seeking a comparable gaming experience to Roblox, one of the closest matches is actually Fortnite. Interestingly, Fortnite appears to have drawn inspiration from Roblox’s playbook with the introduction of the UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite), signaling its intentions to transform Fortnite into a platform where users can create and develop their own games. In a parallel fashion to Fortnite, Roblox has also ventured into hosting events and concerts within its virtual world, underlining the trend of online gaming platforms serving as venues for immersive entertainment experiences.
