That said, Sony's stance on this has softened since, but the game has yet to be released on PlayStation. "Historically, because of the large number of children that play on the PlayStation, we have been very careful with regards to opening them up to anything that could potentially exploit them," said Ryan (as spotted by Axios) when asked about Roblox's absence. Roblox is available on PC, mobile, and Xbox - but has been notably absent from PlayStation. The vast majority of Roblox's audience (around 50%) is under 13YO, which is why Sony is careful not to make something that could potentially exploit children available on its platform. In another exhibit from the trial, Ryan told investors in early 2022 that Sony is weary of making Roblox available on PlayStation, because of the platform's popularity with children. Ryan previously hit at Xbox in a number of ways during the trial, including claiming that publishers don't like Xbox Game Pass. The ongoing FTC trial against Microsoft to stop the company from moving forward with its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, has produced even more behind-the-scenes information about companies and business dealings involving Xbox, and rival PlayStation.Īs part of the court's evidence-gathering process, anyone with interest - such as PlayStation boss Jim Ryan - can provide statements/evidence to make their case for whether or not the acquisition should happen.
