Roblox is getting a serious upgrade today with the launch of our native app for PlayStation 5. Built specifically for PS5, this version of Roblox is smoother and more responsive, with up to 30% faster load times. To celebrate the release, we sat down with the creators behind some of the most popular games on Roblox to learn about everything they\u2019ve done to give you the best possible experience on PS5. <\/p>\n

Designed for console<\/h2>\n

Even though Roblox makes it easy to publish across different platforms, every creator we spoke to wanted to make sure their games felt as fun to play on a controller as they do anywhere else. That meant tweaking things like menu navigation to button layouts, and in some cases, it even inspired the creation of entirely new systems. Just ask Wingboy0, creator of the competitive 3D melee fighter Dueling Grounds. In a game where a perfectly-timed parry can mean the difference between victory and defeat, getting the controls right was top priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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,\u201d said Wingboy0. \u201cThat led me to build the camera lock system so you never have to constantly readjust where you\u2019re facing. You can focus purely on fighting your opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Just as important as the controls is also figuring out clever ways for cross-platform players to communicate with each other. Take for example BlushCrunch Studio\u2019s hit roguelike, mascot-horror game Dandy\u2019s World. When a Twisted is closing in on a fellow Toon, the last thing you want is to be scrambling for a way to warn them. That\u2019s where stickers come in handy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTyping quickly on a console isn\u2019t easy, so we created a way for players to chat and emote using stickers,\u201d said Dandy\u2019s World lead engineer KingMobMedia.<\/p>\n

JoeyStix, president of BlushCrunch, continued, \u201c[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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Those are just a couple of ways Wingboy0, KingMobMedia, and JoeyStix have been approaching console development. And that\u2019s just the start\u2014now that Roblox is available natively on PS5, they have even more opportunities to add an extra layer to your immersion thanks to the DualSense controller\u2019s cutting-edge haptics. We can\u2019t wait to see what they come up with.<\/p>\n

A new level of detail<\/h2>\n

The DualSense is just one part of what makes PS5 an exciting platform for studios, indie teams, and solo creators alike on Roblox. Visually speaking, PS5 is also a chance to show off their games in a new light. Case in point: NFL Universe Football. If you haven\u2019t played, it\u2019s the only officially licensed arcade football game on Roblox where you can join your friends and hit the gridiron together as any of your favorite NFL teams. We asked Voldex, the studio behind the game, to tell us what they\u2019re looking forward to most now that Roblox offers native PS5 support.<\/p>\n

\u201cNFL 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,\u201d said clxr, lead engineer at Voldex.<\/p>\n

itsjtech, Senior Product Manager at Voldex, agreed, noting they can add more content to the game without worrying about major performance hits: \u201cThe door is wide open for us to test the boundaries on what\u2019s possible. I\u2019m excited to see how we can push our visuals even further.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something on the spookier side, Scary Shawarma Kiosk\u2019s got you covered. It\u2019s a cult-favorite horror game where you work a night shift serving increasingly strange and disturbing customers, all while keeping a lookout for any creepy anomalies. That eerie atmosphere feels even more palpable on PS5, creators kharbor_ykt and Graizorko tell us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe finally have a platform that lets players experience the game as we envisioned it,\u201d they said. \u201cThe atmosphere comes through much more clearly on more powerful hardware.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Something for everyone<\/h2>\n

For many players on PS5, this will be their first real look at how much Roblox has evolved over the years. And all the creators we spoke to are ready to make a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

\u201cDandy\u2019s World is really accessible for casual players, but there\u2019s a lot of depth for hardcore players too,\u201d said JoeyStix. \u201cWe have over 40 original characters to collect and master, each with their own unique abilities. And with procedurally generated floors and other gameplay elements, each run is different from the last.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everybody who hasn\u2019t tried Roblox yet will be very surprised by what\u2019s been built on the platform,\u201d said itsjtech. \u201cThe characters in NFL Universe Football may look blocky, but the quality of the gameplay speaks for itself. People are shocked when they realize this is on Roblox.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect to reach players who enjoy atmospheric horror and console gaming but who didn\u2019t previously think of Roblox as a platform for them,\u201d the creators of Scary Shawarma Kiosk told us.<\/p>\n

Dueling Grounds creator Wingboy0 said, \u201cThe animations, the effort that went into every detail\u2026 I think PlayStation players are going to be genuinely impressed by what they find.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been a better time to find out for yourself. Download the Roblox app from the PlayStation Store today and start playing these great games, and more, on PS5 for free.<\/p>\n
