The head of BBC Digital Media Technology Anthony Rose confirmed the news on his official blog, revealing a PS3 iPlayer will be released "in due course".
His statement read: "As you know, our aim is to make BBC iPlayer available on a broad range of devices.
"We need to divide our development time between expanding the platforms iPlayer is available on versus all the other cool things that we're working on (better video quality, personalisation, new site features, etc).
"We're investigating the optimal video profile and browser proposition to enable us to officially make iPlayer available on PS3 in due course."
The Nintendo Wii was the first console to benefit from an official iPlayer after the BBC launched it last week.
