A zombie survival game set in 1899 America has become the top game on Roblox. Dead Rails places players aboard shifting trains that run through infected desert territory to access medical facilities on the Mexican border.

The game gained a significant boost in popularity after its developers added seven new classes through their March 2025 update. Your chance of getting money doubled from bags does come with the risk of enduring deadly lightning strikes when you play the High Roller class. During nighttime, the Vampire class becomes a dangerous and fast-moving fighter, while it turns into a vulnerable target in the daytime. Low health allows the Survivalist class to inflict increased damage while offering benefits to those who adopt dangerous and aggressive combat tactics.

A recent update to the game also introduced a Challenge Mode as its main addition. The board system in the lobby displays different tasks, which are updated periodically. Completing tasks from the board grants players Bonds as well as Challenge Stars. Players now receive 10 Bonds after completing a run, while the lightning strike probability decreases, and towns feature at least one bank for money drops. These new gameplay changes introduced uncertainty into the game system that continues to attract an expanding player base with each passing day.
