Sybo Games has quietly released a new mobile title, Subway Surfers City, on iOS and Android. This sequel to the wildly popular Subway Surfers boasts improved graphics and many features added to the original over the years. Currently in soft launch, it's available in select regions.

This Friday brings a surprise: a new game from the creators of Subway Surfers! While hands-on impressions are still pending, app store listings reveal a game seemingly designed to update the aging original. Subway Surfers City features returning characters, updated hoverboard mechanics, and significantly enhanced visuals.

The soft launch rollout is staggered: iOS users in the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines can download the game. Android users in Denmark and the Philippines have access.

A Bold Move?

Sybo's decision to create a sequel to their flagship title is a significant risk. The original game's Unity engine is showing its age, limiting development possibilities. The stealth launch is an intriguing strategy, particularly for a globally renowned mobile franchise.

The reception to Subway Surfers City will be crucial. We eagerly await its wider release and hope it meets expectations. For those unable to access it immediately, several alternative top mobile games are available in the meantime, or you can browse our curated list of the best mobile games of 2024.
