Practical Basketball controls
The reviewed official listing does not link a standalone PlayStation or Xbox edition. PS5 and Xbox searches are about a controller inside the Roblox app. The Roblox description says the control list lives in the community server. TechWiser and Gamepur publish matching PC and controller charts. Newer dated announcements in the linked community can supersede those charts.
