Traffic Rider is an Android motorbike racing game from skgames with over 500 million installs on Google Play. It is free, rated Everyone, and available through Google Play only. The game puts you on a highway in first person view, weaving through traffic for points and cash.

Endless highway racing, with a career on top

Endless racers tend to repeat themselves quickly. Traffic Rider tries to fix that by adding a career mode with 90+ missions, so a ride has a goal beyond a high score. Released on January 10, 2016, it comes from the same developer as Traffic Racer, but swaps the car for a motorcycle.

The core loop is simple. You ride along highways, overtake traffic, and earn cash to upgrade or buy new bikes. The developer says the game has no timers and no fuel, so you are not forced to wait between rides.

34 bikes, first person view and recorded engine sound

The garage lists 34 motorbikes to choose from, which gives the cash you earn something to work toward. The camera can sit in first person view, a change from the behind-the-vehicle angle common in arcade racers.

Sound is a stated focus. The engine audio was recorded from real bikes, and the environments include day and night variations. Progress is tracked through online leaderboards and 30+ achievements, and the interface supports 19 languages.

The developer also lists scoring tips. Riding faster raises your score, and above 100 km/h a close overtake gives bonus points and cash. Driving against the flow on two-way roads and doing wheelies add extra score and cash as well.

What to check before installing Traffic Rider

Traffic Rider runs on Android 7.0 or newer. The exact version number differs from one device to another, so your phone may report something other than what a friend sees.

The game is free to start, though it shows ads and offers in-app purchases. The most recent update we have recorded is from December 8, 2025. The original release dates back to January 10, 2016, which makes this a long-running motorbike title rather than a fresh launch. Its content rating is Everyone.

The core idea is simple: you ride along endless highways, overtaking traffic, and you can switch to a first person camera that puts you right behind the handlebars. The environments change between day and night, and the engine sounds were recorded from real bikes, so the audio is a big part of the feel. Try both the camera and the lighting early, because they change how much of the traffic ahead you can read.

The garage is large. There are 34 motorbikes to choose from, and you earn the money to upgrade them or buy new ones by completing missions. Career mode has more than 90 missions, which gives the game a clear structure beyond simply riding as far as you can. If you prefer chasing scores, online leaderboards and more than 30 achievements give you goals to aim for. The game supports 19 languages.

A few practical notes. The page lists 8 screenshots, a quick way to preview the graphics and the bike selection. Because the game contains ads, expect short interruptions between rides. The in-app items are optional, so you can play without spending anything.

The game also appears in lists for controller games, F1 games, motorcycle games and racing games. If you enjoy this style and want to compare, similar picks include Asphalt 8, Beach Buggy Racing, MadOut 2 and Modern Combat 5, though each leans in a different direction.

For a first session, start with a stock bike on an easy mission, try both camera views, and listen to how the engine note changes as you speed up. Once you know which view you prefer, spend your earnings on an upgrade that suits your riding style, then move on to the longer career missions and the leaderboards.
