Roblox has finally released a native PS5 app, allowing a better experience for users.
On Tuesday, April 14, Roblox and Sony took it to X (formerly Twitter) to shadow drop a native app for Roblox on the PS5 platform that, as per Sony, is a “serious upgrade” as it is “smoother and more responsive, with up to 30% faster load times.”
Roblox launches on PS5 today.

The app also promises to be more responsive and to use the console’s built-in features and the DualSense controller to offer a richer experience than the old app, which hardly made use of the PS5’s capabilities.
