Roblox users build unauthorized clones of Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead 2 and a PS4 menu

Roblox now hosts unauthorized, near-identical recreations of major games like Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead 2, built without permission from the original rights holders.

The issue gained attention after YouTuber KreekCraft shared a clip on October 27 from another creator, SirDapper, showing PlayStation games running inside Roblox.

The experience, called PlayStation Experience and built by Redwing Works, copied the PS4 home menu down to its trophies, web browser and server chat, then offered seven games, including The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Superhot and Undertale.

SirDapper then stumbled on Project CS, a Counter-Strike clone, and KreekCraft, utterly stunned, replied, “It’s literally the actual game.”

Hit & Run and Counter-Strike are near-identical to the originals, with The Simpsons game seeming to have added a wonky objective arrow and Valve’s knockoff appearing to lack nothing but a few sound effects.

In KreekCraft’s post comments, players also flagged Left 4 Survival 2, a “1:1” fan-made Left 4 Dead 2 recreation unaffiliated with Valve.

None had permission from the original owners, and Hit & Run is currently unavailable on digital storefronts.

The comments also predict a Sony cease and desist is on the way, while some joked “Don’t let Tim Sweeney see this.”

Roblox has always collected knockoffs, but in September it pushed the official route, expanding its licensing platform so creators could use established brands and share revenue with rights holders.

These builders skipped that second part entirely and posted whole games for free until the clones got properly ambitious.

Developers have complained before, with viral game Needle in a Haystack getting swarmed by clones after getting popular.

Roblox has hosted viral recreations before, including a game that recreated Black Mirror’s iconic treadmill scroll in August.

Whether Sony, Valve, or anyone else takes action against them remains to be seen.
