How to play Roblox on PS4
If you are wondering if it is possible to play Roblox on PS4 , I am sorry to tell you that the answer is no. In fact, at the time of writing this guide, the game is not available for the famous console produced by Sony.
Also, it is not possible to play Roblox even using the browser installed on the PS4. Starting the latter, accessing the official Roblox website with your account and starting any game, the message Your current platform is not supported is shown on the screen , indicating that Roblox is not available.
Having said that, you should know that through the browser of your PS4 you can both access your account settings (eg to change the name on Roblox ) and the Catalog section , to choose and buy new accessories and useful clothes to customize your character.
