This may come as a shock to many gamers, but recently, PlayStation has received Roblox as an available game to download. So far, Roblox has only been available on PlayStation for a week, and it has already reached 10 million downloads.
The reason this may come as a shock to gamers is because Roblox has been a PC-only game for many years now, and there were no plans to release it on console. As of recently, these plans changed, as it has now been released on PlayStation with a very clear positive response from gamers.
Why is Roblox such a Popular game on PlayStation?
For those who may not know what Roblox is, it is a game that allows the player to create worlds using different resources so that other players can then load in and enjoy them. It is quite similar to Microsoft’s popular game Minecraft, but the only difference is that there is a lot more freedom in Roblox.
Since Roblox‘s release back in September 2006, there have been numerous updates and designs that have been created for the use of players. This has led to numerous different projects designed by players that many would believe impossible.
With the freedom provided within Roblox, there are numerous opportunities for players, as some have designed maps based on Star Wars, anime, samurai, racing, and even Pokemon. This expands the reasons as to why it will be popular on PlayStation, as gamers can enjoy all these homemade games on their favorite franchises.
Another reason that Roblox will be popular on PlayStation is because it has gained a lot of popularity with children. Since it’s released on PlayStation, it will be a lot easier to access for that demographic, as it saves children fighting over a laptop to play on when they can play on a console as well.
How will Roblox’s Release change over the Coming Months?
Since its release, there have clearly been many players logging into the game over the past week, but what happens when more popular games get released? Over the next few weeks, there are a few major games that are releasing that could take away attention from Roblox and hurt its downloads.
As we get closer to Christmas, it is highly likely that many more PlayStations will be purchased for children who are looking to play Roblox on their consoles rather than on a computer. This will help lead to more downloads further down the line, as more players will download the game in the new year.
The longer the game is released on PlayStation consoles, it will slowly gain more attention from gamers, as there are some who may even download it just to see what it is all about. There may even be some parents who will download the game for their kids on their consoles just to keep them quiet.
For now, though, Roblox has made a major impact on the PlayStation console, as the numbers are still rising and will continue to rise over the next few weeks. As it is a highly popular game on PC, it can be assumed that many gamers will stay on that platform rather than transfer over, but there are some who would prefer the controller over the mouse.
