Roblox<\/em> is a hugely popular game \u2014 nearly 50 million users play it every day, according to Roblox (the company) \u2014 and that\u2019s in part because it\u2019s free and available on many different platforms, including iOS, Android, PC, and Xbox. One very conspicuous absence from that list is PlayStation, but that could be changing sometime soon, as Roblox has posted a job listing for a \u201cSenior Software Engineer, PlayStation Console.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Gaming Console Software Engineer<\/strong>, you\u2019ll help build and support our game engine used by millions of users worldwide for the Sony PlayStation<\/strong> platform, and other leading gaming consoles on the market,\u201d Roblox says in the listing (emphasis Roblox\u2019s). The listing also says one of the job\u2019s responsibilities is to \u201cdevelop and support the Roblox client application for gaming consoles platforms like Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4.\u201d <\/p>\n

While this listing indicates that Roblox is seriously looking into bringing Roblox to PlayStation, it\u2019s still unclear if or exactly when it might be available on Sony\u2019s platform. That said, Roblox has expressed an openness to expanding to new platforms before. On an earnings call in May 2021, Roblox CEO David Baszucki said that<\/a> Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Meta\u2019s Quest all \u201cmake perfect sense for Roblox\u201d and that they were \u201clogical platforms,\u201d but added that \u201cwe won\u2019t share any ship dates for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it seems likely that Roblox is aware of how much of a cash cow Epic Games\u2019 Fortnite<\/em> is on PlayStation<\/a>. From March 2018 through July 2020, PlayStation 4 generated almost half of Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> total revenue, according to court documents released ahead of the Epic Games v. Apple<\/em> trial. Roblox may not want to leave a similar opportunity on the table.<\/p>\n

Roblox declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Hat tip to an employee from <\/em>Revealera<\/em><\/a> for the heads up about the job listing. <\/em><\/p>\n

Update March 9th, 4:52PM ET<\/strong><\/em>: Added that Roblox declined to comment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
