Causal Loop has always been a dream project for us. For the past four years now, it has grown far beyond what we initially expected. Once you start pulling on the thread that unites the game’s story and its mechanics, you realize very quickly that you can’t just brush past certain ideas or dance around them. If a puzzle exists in the world, it needs an explanation.

Construction Simulator: Evolution is exactly what the name promises: the biggest leap the series has ever taken. For the first time, we’re expanding the core experience beyond construction itself – bringing demolition and hands-on manual labor into the spotlight, while staying true to the heavy machinery gameplay featuring numerous officially licensed brands our players love.

The Batcave has been presented in various shapes and sizes over the past 85 years of Batman history, so when it came to creating our unique version in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, we knew how important it was. Not only did we want to pay homage to the different iterations that came before us, but we also wanted to give players a whole new experience, one that makes the most of the creative power of LEGO bricks.

Roblox is getting a serious upgrade today with the launch of our native app for PlayStation 5. Built specifically for PS5, this version of Roblox is smoother and more responsive, with up to 30% faster load times. To celebrate the release, we sat down with the creators behind some of the most popular games on Roblox to learn about everything they’ve done to give you the best possible experience on PS5. 

Designed for console

Even though Roblox makes it easy to publish across different platforms, every creator we spoke to wanted to make sure their games felt as fun to play on a controller as they do anywhere else. That meant tweaking things like menu navigation to button layouts, and in some cases, it even inspired the creation of entirely new systems. Just ask Wingboy0, creator of the competitive 3D melee fighter Dueling Grounds. In a game where a perfectly-timed parry can mean the difference between victory and defeat, getting the controls right was top priority.

“When Dueling Grounds was early in development, I spent a lot of time playtesting other console games on Roblox to better understand what players want from a high-quality action game,” said Wingboy0. “That led me to build the camera lock system so you never have to constantly readjust where you’re facing. You can focus purely on fighting your opponent.”

Just as important as the controls is also figuring out clever ways for cross-platform players to communicate with each other. Take for example BlushCrunch Studio’s hit roguelike, mascot-horror game Dandy’s World. When a Twisted is closing in on a fellow Toon, the last thing you want is to be scrambling for a way to warn them. That’s where stickers come in handy.

“Typing quickly on a console isn’t easy, so we created a way for players to chat and emote using stickers,” said Dandy’s World lead engineer KingMobMedia.

JoeyStix, president of BlushCrunch, continued, “[The sticker system] was a huge win for us, since it meant console players could now communicate with mobile and PC players just as easily as they could on a keyboard.”

Those are just a couple of ways Wingboy0, KingMobMedia, and JoeyStix have been approaching console development. And that’s just the start—now that Roblox is available natively on PS5, they have even more opportunities to add an extra layer to your immersion thanks to the DualSense controller’s cutting-edge haptics. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.

A new level of detail

The DualSense is just one part of what makes PS5 an exciting platform for studios, indie teams, and solo creators alike on Roblox. Visually speaking, PS5 is also a chance to show off their games in a new light. Case in point: NFL Universe Football. If you haven’t played, it’s the only officially licensed arcade football game on Roblox where you can join your friends and hit the gridiron together as any of your favorite NFL teams. We asked Voldex, the studio behind the game, to tell us what they’re looking forward to most now that Roblox offers native PS5 support.

“NFL Universe Football already feels incredible on console, so being able to scale it up with the added power and performance of PS5 is really exciting,” said clxr, lead engineer at Voldex.

itsjtech, Senior Product Manager at Voldex, agreed, noting they can add more content to the game without worrying about maj

The Cradle, a massive lunar base that serves as the setting for third-person hacking shooter Pragmata, is a dangerous place to be. It’s crawling with killer robots, often popping up with little warning as you explore its many facilities and passageways. Luckily, there’s the Shelter, a tucked-away location that provides a place where you can build your arsenal, restock, heal up, and take a break.

The Shelter is more than just a place to prepare, though — it’s also where you can build the relationship that develops between protagonist Hugh and Diana, an android in the form of a young girl he discovers in the Cradle. Their bond is Pragmata’s heart, both in its hacking-and-shooting gameplay and in its narrative.

Expanding the Shelter, powering up its facilities, and making it a little homier is a big part of Pragmata’s gameplay. Here’s everything you’ll want to know about your home on the moon.

Upgrade Hugh and Diana at the Firmware Updater

At the center of the Shelter are its two main stations: the Firmware Updater and the Unit Printer. The Firmware Updater is where you can enhance Hugh’s suit and primary weapon, increasing his HP and the damage of his gun. You can also enhance Diana’s hacking abilities so that enemy armor stays open longer on a successful hack. The Firmware Updater makes you stronger overall, so visit it early and often.
