A job listing for a PlayStation engineer implies that Roblox will be heading to the platform soon.
Roblox is one of the most popular free-to-play games out there, with millions of players logging in to play every day. Despite being available on Xbox consoles for a few years now, one platform that you can't play Roblox on currently is PlayStation, although a job listing implies that might be changing soon.
As reported by The Verge, Roblox Corporation is currently hiring for a senior software engineer specifically for PlayStation consoles. Roblox currently isn't available on any kind of PlayStation system, so the fact that it's currently hiring for an engineer specific to that platform certainly seems to imply that it's working on bringing the game over.
The job description even specifically mentions that applicants will be working with PlayStation consoles, "Passionate about games and gaming consoles? As a Gaming Console Software Engineer, you'll help build and support our engine used by millions of users worldwide for the Sony PlayStation platform, and other leading gaming consoles on the market. You will work on all parts of the application, from integration with the target platform and user interface adaptations to performance optimization and exploring prevention improvements."
Another section of the job listing says that applicants will need to, "Develop and support the Roblox client application for gaming consoles platforms like Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4". There aren't a lot of things it could be beside the long-awaited PlayStation port.
It shouldn't be too surprising to hear that Roblox might be coming to PlayStation soon. Back in May, Roblox Corporation CEO David Baszucki said, "So absolutely long-term, Switch, PlayStation, Quest- all of these platforms make perfect sense for Roblox. What you’re seeing right now is an incredible focus on the phone by us, which we believe is an incredibly difficult form factor and the most difficult form factor for that immersion, but these are all logical platforms and at the same time, we won’t share any ship dates for them".
