By all accounts, we'll see the launch of the construction game Roblox, a competitor to Minecraft, on PlayStation devices.

We may not have heard as much about Roblox or “Roblox” as we have about Minecraft, despite its great success, especially after the latter became one of the most popular games played by many gamers and streamers through major YouTube channels.
Roblox is a hugely popular open-world building game for PC and mobile devices. The game is free to play and primarily aimed at a younger audience, offering players the chance to create their own worlds and gaming experiences, albeit with beautifully pre-designed core components and characters.
At one point, the game reached over 100 million monthly active users, surpassing the survival and building game Minecraft, which at the time had over 91 million monthly active users. The game is still receiving updates and has millions of players around the world. However, it has yet to see the light of day on PlayStation devices, despite having first been released in 2006.
The PlayStation audience may finally have the opportunity to try this fun game, which has been confirmed by user and data miner Jullian through his Twitter account, as you can see below, where data related to the PlayStation platform has been discovered in the game's update files, and this information has come to us after almost a year for another rumor that talked about the same thing.

Last year, The Verge published a job listing that appeared on Roblox, which clearly called for a software engineer for PlayStation systems, as it stated the following:
As a Game Console Software Engineer, you will help build and support our engine that is used by millions of users worldwide for the Sony PlayStation platform and other market-leading game consoles.
PS4 is specifically mentioned in the terms of the post. Which makes sense given the huge device base, but we expect the game to be supported on PS5 as well as other home platforms.
Add to that the studio's CEO, David Baszucki It was previously announced that the release of the home console version would be very logical, so it is obvious that we will see the game on PS5 and PS4 in the near future.
