Multiple remakes of beloved games including Counter Strike, The Simpsons: Hit and Run, and Super Hot , are available to play on Roblox right now.

The short version

  • These have not been uploaded by the original game's creators.
  • One game - which is listed as an 'experience' in Roblox parlance, has been released by Roblox user Takeoff Interactive and listed as 'just a passion project', is a game "inspired by Counter-Strike" and has no monetisation according to its description.
  • Eurogamer played this game today, and it looks and plays exactly like Counter-Strike.

What happened

The game includes the standard bomb diffusion mode, where two teams fight over two bomb sites. There are missing sound effects, the smoke doesn't look as good, and a friendly bot stabbed me in the back while diffusing a bomb, but otherwise it looks to be a largely identical recreation of Valve's game, albeit without Valve's involvement.

Why it matters

As for the PlayStation Experience, it's a full working PlayStation 4 dashboard with a media gallery, web browser, and trophies.
