Subway Surfers Celebrates 13th Anniversary with 200th City: Copenhagen

SYBO Games is preparing a major celebration to mark the 13th anniversary of its iconic endless runner, Subway Surfers. On May 12, 2025, players will be treated to a special in-game event that introduces Copenhagen as the game’s 200th World Tour city — a heartfelt tribute to where it all began.

From Mobile Sensation to Global Tour

Originally launched on May 23, 2012, Subway Surfers quickly became a global phenomenon thanks to its fast-paced, addictive gameplay. The game's World Tour series, introduced in 2013, brought players to cities around the globe — from New York and Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, Bangkok, Tokyo, and many more.

Now, more than a decade later, the game hits a major milestone with its 200th featured location: Copenhagen, the city where SYBO co-developed the game alongside Kiloo.

Daily City Unlocks and In-Game Challenges

Starting May 12, players can unlock and run through 21 beloved cities, one each day, including Paris, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Rio, and others — all by collecting World Tour suitcase tokens during gameplay. This gives fans a chance to revisit their favorite destinations and explore the new Copenhagen map.

New Characters, Boards, and Rewards

The celebration doesn’t stop with new locations. Players can also unlock:

• Two new characters: Loc and Stevie
• Exclusive new outfits
• Brand-new hoverboards
• Plus, a host of event rewards and surprises

In a statement, SYBO CEO Mathias Gredal Nørvig shared:

“We’re thrilled to celebrate both our 13th anniversary and the 200-city milestone in our World Tour. We can’t wait for fans to experience this new chapter as Subway Surfers enters its teenage years.”

Still Running Strong After All These Years

Whether you’re a long-time fan or revisiting the game after a break, this anniversary update brings a wave of nostalgia and fresh excitement. Subway Surfers proves once again that it’s more than just a mobile game — it’s a global journey that continues to evolve with its players.
