This bright and breezy endless runner has been a fixture at the upper end of the App Store charts for many a year, and it’s easy to see why.
Subway Surfers’ exhilarating chases are slick and super fun as you – a cheeky graffiti artist – zoom through a train yard pursued by a whistle-blowing guard.
It’s easy to get up and running: a swipe left or right is all you need to change lanes when there’s an obstacle – or oncoming locomotive – in your path. Swipe up to pull off daredevil leaps between moving freight trains.
Along the way you’ll gather all sorts of collectibles, timing your jumps to match the arc of a coin trail, or swerving a hazard to get a power-up.
Subway Surfers also recognises that success is a marathon, not a sprint. That’s why it keeps offering reasons to return, with a World Tour that whisks you off to new locations on a regular basis.
Players have already visited the likes of Monaco, Hawaii, Copenhagen and Marrakech, so it’s always worth checking in to see where your train-tagging antics will take you next.
Beyond that, seasonal events challenge you to complete objectives to unlock bonus rewards. And each day, Word Hunt offers mystery boxes for picking up the right letters scattered across the tracks.
The coins you snag, meanwhile, can be used to unlock a growing range of characters, outfits and boards – ranging from a pixel heart to a vinyl record and even a moose’s head.
So wherever in the world you find yourself, it’s clear that Subway Surfers is a game that’s going to run and run.
