SYBO, the mobile game development studio behind the widely downloaded game Subway Surfers, has released a new extension titled Subway Surfers City. This new endless runner title introduces an updated art style, additional gameplay mechanics, and an expanded core environment.
Setting and Environments
Unlike the original game’s rotating World Tour format, Subway Surfers City centers on a permanent, multi-district location known as Subway City. At launch, the game features four primary districts for players to unlock and navigate:
- The Docks
- Southline
- Sunrise Blvd
- Delorean Park
SYBO plans to release seasonal updates that will expand the game with new neighborhoods, characters, outfits, and hoverboards.
Gameplay Mechanics and Modes
The release introduces several new in-game mechanics. These include a “stomp” move designed to uncover hidden advantages and a bubblegum shield used to enhance a character’s jumping abilities.
Additionally, Subway Surfers City offers three distinct game modes to accommodate different playstyles:
- Classic Endless: The traditional, continuous running mode focused on exploring paths and achieving high scores.
- City Tour: A level-based, finite game mode where players complete specific missions and locate hidden items to progress through the city’s districts.
- Events: A rotating selection of finite runs and trials aimed at challenging advanced players.
The original Subway Surfers, launched in 2012, surpassed 4.5 billion lifetime downloads in 2025 and has remained in the top five mobile download charts annually since its release. The franchise currently maintains an average of 100 to 150 million monthly active players and has accumulated over 30 million followers across various social media platforms.
How to download?
Subway Surfers City is available as a free download with in-app purchases on iOS and Android devices via the App Store and Google Play.
