Builderman and his team demonstrated live gameplay on three platforms simultaneously: PS5, Meta Quest Pro headset, and mobile. During gameplay, the PS5 operated smoothly at a higher framerate than the other two platforms and displayed stunning visuals with intuitive controls, as indicated by the DualSense controller.

Later in the keynote address, the Roblox development team described how they created a brand-new API using the Objective C and C++ programming languages, which made the platform accessible on iOS and Xbox, in order to redesign the game for Meta Quest and PlayStation devices.

The game is also available now on all Meta Quest headsets and will soon be made available across more devices.
