One of the most popular games on computers and mobile devices could see increasing engagement on consoles soon if a job posting leads to the expansion of the franchise. What Happened: A job posting from Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX ) is picking up steam across technology sites as it could mean the hit game could soon be added to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles from Sony Group Corp (NYSE: SONY ). Roblox is a free-to-play game that was launched in 2006 for the PC and was later added to mobile phones using the Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iOS store and Google Play store from Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG )(NASDAQ: GOOGL ) in 2012 and 2014, respectively.

Sony suspends sales in Russia; citizens will now be unable to buy new PlayStation consoles or games

Image: Apple Sony is once again announcing a cross-promotion with Apple TV Plus to offer its console owners an extended free trial of the premium service. Owners of the last-gen PlayStation 4 console that are not already Apple TV Plus subscribers can redeem three months of service at no charge . After that, it’s back to the usual $4.99 per month. This promo is similar to the one announced last summer, where PlayStation 5 owners got six months of Apple TV Plus . Both promos are redeemable until July 22nd, 2022. While the PS5 got the double-length promo, extending this offer to PS4 owners widens the pool of people who qualify — especially with PS5 shipments still plagued by shortages and slowing to a trickle, again, after the holiday season. The PS4 install base is much larger than the PS5’s, and Sony even continues to ship PS4 consoles in 2022. The PS5 is selling well despite those shortages, just not as well as the PS4 did at this point in its lifecycle . Since this promo gives a timeline of nearly four months for PS4 owners to redeem their three-month window, it’s a prime opportunity to pick up the service and cover the arrival of an anticipated new series, movie, or even the upcoming Friday Night Baseball coverage (if the MLB season does indeed happen ).

Nintendo has stopped shipping its products, including the Switch, to Russia for the foreseeable future. "This is due to considerable volatility surrounding the logistics of shipping and distributing physical goods," the company told Eurogamer . It made the decision two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, though it didn''t mention the crisis in its statement. The move follows Nintendo suspending sales of digital games in Russia last weekend. It said the Russian version of the eShop "is currently under maintenance following the suspension of transactions in Russian rubles by the payment provider." On Wednesday, Nintendo delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp indefinitely . The game was supposed to be released on April 8th, but the company said it was pushing back the debut of the military strategy game following "recent world events." Other major gaming companies have withdrawn from Russia (and, in some cases, Belarus). Sony has halted PlayStation hardware and software sales there, while Microsoft put all sales in the country on hold .
