An upgrade version of Roblox is now available for the PS5, with a native app built specifically for Sony’s console offering a smoother and more responsive experience that includes up to 30% faster load times.
An article on the PlayStation Blog features comments from content creator Wingboy0, who is the creator of Duelling Grounds melee fighter, as they touch on the importance of nailing the controls.
When Dueling Grounds was early in development, I spent a lot of time playtesting other console games on Roblox to better understand what players want from a high-quality action game. That led me to build the camera lock system so you never have to constantly readjust where you’re facing. You can focus purely on fighting your opponent.
Meanwhile, Dandy’s World lead engineer KingMobMedia highlighted the introduction of stickers to allow players to chat and emote. “Typing quickly on a console isn’t easy, so we created a way for players to chat and emote using stickers.” BlushCrush Studio’s president, JoeyStix, added, “[The sticker system] was a huge win for us, since it meant console players could now communicate with mobile and PC players just as easily as they could on a keyboard.”
Beyond that, Voldex, the creator behind NFL Universe Football — the only officially licensed football game on Roblox — spoke on how the native PS5 version of Roblox allows the team to “scale it up” in terms of power and performance. “NFL Universe Football already feels incredible on console, so being able to scale it up with the added power and performance of PS5 is really exciting.”
The Roblox app for PS5 is now available to download from the PlayStation Store.
