Subway Surfers has been one of the most successful mobile games ever. And now its long-anticipated sequel—Subway Surfers City—is officially coming next month.

Subway Surfers City debuts February 26 on App Store

If you ever play games on your iPhone, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve given Subway Surfers a try.

Developer SYBO says its global hit is “the most downloaded mobile game of all time” with more than 4.5 billion lifetime downloads and an average of 100 to 150 million monthly active players.

Now, the long-anticipated sequel is almost here.

Subway Surfers City is coming Thursday, February 26 to the iOS App Store

You can pre-save Subway Surfers City here on the App Store.

From the press release announcement:

Subway Surfers City introduces several never-before-seen gameplay mechanics to leverage during runs, including a stomp move to uncover hidden advantages, a bouncy bubblegum shield to uplevel jump abilities, and more surprises. For the first time, the game will additionally offer players the ability to unlock and master three brand-new game modes:

  • Classic Endless: The beloved fast-paced runner experience where players chase high scores and discover new paths, even on their thousandth run.
  • City Tour: A new finite game mode where players progress through levels with distinct goals, exploring districts to find hidden stars and complete missions.
  • Events: A rotation of finite runs and trials designed to challenge even the most advanced players’ skills.

If you want to revisit the original Subway Surfers in the lead-up to the sequel, it’s available here on the App Store.

There’s also an exclusive version called Subway Surfers+ for subscribers to Apple Arcade or Apple One. Yesterday Apple announced that Arcade is about to add PC hit Civilization VII as its latest big-name title.
