What it is

Traffic Racer is an endless arcade racing game from the developer skgames. You drive a car down a highway full of other vehicles, collect cash, and spend it on upgrades or new cars. The listing says the game first appeared on November 12, 2013, and the most recent update shown is dated December 8, 2025. It is free, rated Everyone, and has been installed more than 100,000,000 times.

What the listing says it does well

The content list is the main draw. The listing mentions over 40 cars, seven environments (a suburb, a desert, snow, rain, a forest, autumn scenery and a city at night) and four modes, namely Endless, Two-Way, a Time Trial mode and a Police Chase mode. Traffic is described as including trucks, buses and SUVs, which suggests more than a stream of identical cars.

Controls are simple on paper. You tilt or touch to steer, with separate gas and brake buttons. The tips section explains the scoring: going faster earns more points, and overtaking closely above 100 kmh gives bonus score and cash. In Two-Way mode, driving against the flow pays extra. Online leaderboards and achievements are also listed.

The ratings back this up. The game holds 4.57 stars from 6,129,809 ratings. About 79.4 percent of those are five stars and another 9.9 percent are four stars. That is a very large sample for a score this high.

Where it falls short

The star split is not spotless. About 4.9 percent of ratings are one star, and 1.6 percent are two stars, so roughly one rater in fifteen was unhappy. The listing gives no reasons, so the cause is unknown from this data.

Customization is described as basic, covering paint and wheels only. If you like deep tuning, the listing does not promise it. The listing also does not mention ads, in-app purchases, or whether the leaderboards need a connection. Those are the things a buyer would want to know for a free game, and the page leaves them open.

Who it suits

This is a fit for anyone who wants a quick, low-effort driving loop with a long progression of cars. The core idea is old and simple, which is partly why it has lasted. Players who want story, deep customization or head-to-head racing will not find those described here.

This review is written from the store listing and its rating data, not from hands-on play. Treat the points above as what the page claims and what the numbers show.

Watch out for

Roughly 4.9 percent of ratings are one star, higher than some rivals in this batch
The listing says customization is basic, limited to paint and wheels
The listing does not say whether the game contains ads or in-app purchases

Verdict: A well-rated, long-running racer that suits short sessions; the listing is silent on ads and purchases, so check those yourself before settling in.
