Subway Surfers from SYBO Games is definitely one of the most popular endless runner mobile games out there; on the Google Play Store alone, it has 39 million reviews and more than 1 million downloads. Considering how extensive the game-making tools and developer community on Roblox are, of course, people are hoping that they can play their favorite game on the platform. But can you actually play a Subway Surfers clone game on Roblox, though…?
How to Play Subway Surfers on Roblox
If you have looked into Subway Surfers clones on Roblox, then you must have noticed how the platform is filled with titles and icons that resemble the well-known mobile game. Your first thought must’ve been, “Wow, I got lots of choices here!” However, the truth is, most of these are junk — these are platformer games that barely resemble the original mobile Subway Surfers, or worse, can’t even be played properly.
Let’s take an example. The most popular one on this list, the one simply called Subway Surfers (which has 1.5k active players at the time of writing), is totally busted. Despite supporting multiplayer and you can walk (or “skate”) around with friends, this game does not have a proper system and goal in place. All you can do is jump around on top of stationary trains and eventually clip through the trains or ground. Worst of all, the developer seems to have illegally ripped the assets (3D models, textures, and what have you) of the original Android and iOS Subway Surfers game!
There’s no way I can write how to play the game because it is genuinely unplayable! It registers your input and follows through, but there are no rules. You just do and phase through whatever is in the so-called “game.” I assume this only got that big because of the multiplayer feature and got covered by lots of YouTubers for some reason. So remember, people, not everything popular is actually good.
If you really want to play Subway Surfers on Roblox, then, unfortunately, your only option is the Blox Surfers! game from developer Explosive Entertainment and Studio Sigma. I said “unfortunately” because while it is genuinely a pretty competent clone of Subway Surfers on Roblox (and one of the few that actually can be played as, you know, a normal game), the biggest downside of Blox Surfers! is that the game only supports single-player mode. So yeah, you can’t play with friends here. But it’s still a decent time-waster that works completely fine.
To play Blox Surfers!, all you need to do is:
- Login to your Roblox account
- Open the Blox Surfers! page
- Click Play on the Single Player box (Multiplayer is still “Coming Soon”)
- Play the game and follow the easy-to-understand on-screen tutorials
- And have an actual, jolly good time fun!
