Subway Surfers is celebrating a major milestone this month—its 13th birthday! To mark the occasion, SYBO Games is launching an epic global event that takes players on an exciting journey around the world with the Subway Surfers World Tour. The celebration officially kicks off on May 12th, promising fresh content, exclusive rewards, and unforgettable adventures.
Back to the Beginning – Copenhagen Takes Center Stage
The anniversary festivities begin where it all started—Copenhagen, Denmark. With the release of the 13th Anniversary update, players will dive into a vibrant new version of the city packed with themed challenges and surprises. But that’s just the start. From there, you’ll embark on a daily city-hopping adventure across the globe.
Run through iconic locations like Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, and Hawaii. To unlock each destination, collect World Tour suitcase tokens in every city you visit. This special update also marks the arrival of the 200th destination in the long-running World Tour series—a huge achievement since the feature launched back in 2013.
