Is Roblox chat available on PS5 or PS4?

At the time of writing,Roblox chat on PS5 or PS4 is not availableso you cannot access it or use it to communicate with other players. This is in fact a wider issue with the game on consoles as a whole, with thedevelopers acknowledgingin an announcement post that"Chat with voice, platform text chat and in-experience text chat are not yet supported on PlayStation or Xbox.“This is likely due to restrictions imposed on in-game communications bySonyandMicrosoft, however this is something listed under ‘upcoming improvements’ that they are ‘actively working on’ so hopefully a solution will be found to make Roblox chat on PlayStation and Xbox a future feature – though don’t expect this to happen quickly.

For now, an alternative to Roblox chat on PS5 or PS4 is to set up a Party through thePlayStation Network, so you can talk to your friends using that instead. If you’re already taking advantage ofRoblox cross platform play on PS4 and PS5then this is a more than adequate solution, however it does mean that you won’t be able to chat to friends on other platforms, or indeed have more general communication with the players in an experience who you aren’t friends with. Until Roblox chat get officially integrated on consoles, this is the best option available, unless you use separate chat through a service such as Discord.
