Roblox is finally coming to PlayStation in October
The Roblox online gaming platform and creation toolset will finally be available on PlayStation in October, as announced at the Roblox Developers Conference (RDC) 2023 earlier in the daytime. The title arrives on PS5 of course, but also on PS4 for those who have not yet taken the step towards the next-gen. As always, the download will be free.
Roblox was already available on almost every other platform, including PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Xbox, although it is still not available for the Switch. CEO David Baszucki mentioned the Switch alongside the PlayStation as potential platforms during an earnings conference call in August, as reported by The Verge, so that it could eventually launch on Nintendo's hybrid console. Or maybe the company will wait for the long-talked-about Switch successor. The company said the VR version of Roblox will officially launch on the Meta Quest platform later this month, following a successful test.
As for the PlayStation versions, the company promises that Sony fans will be able to access the "complete catalog of Roblox experiences", indicating a robust cross-platform toolset. In other words, you should be able to download it and have direct access to your favorite creations. Why did a PlayStation release take so long? This may be Sony's fault, since a document surfaced last year stating that the console maker didn't want Roblox due to child safety concerns. /p>
The company also used RDC to announce some exciting innovations for the service, beyond wider availability. It unveiled its own version of video chat that integrates your Roblox avatars for one-on-one conversations with other users. The company also announced a new chatbot called Roblox Assistant that uses generative AI to help plan builds, write code, create virtual assets and more, according to The Verge. In a demo of the feature, the company showed someone typing that they wanted a game set in ancient ruins. The wizard automatically dropped stones, moss-covered columns, and even broken architecture. In another example, a player asked to cut down trees, and the program followed suit. The software pulls assets from its own marketplace or your personal library. Seems like a fantastic use of generative AI that makes it simple to create your own Roblox builds. The chatbot and video call feature are expected to roll out in the coming months.
