Subway Surfers was downloaded more than one billion times on Google Play, making it the first game on the platform to reach this mark.
Originally launched in 2012 by SYBO and Kiloo, Subway Surfers lets players take on the role of the graffiti-tagging main protagonist Jake, or one of his many friends. They run from the grumpy inspector and his dog through the subway systems of cities around the world while collecting coins and dodging oncoming trains.
“We have really achieved greatness by combining our strengths at SYBO and Kiloo, said Mathias Gredal Noervig, CEO of SYBO. “The continued growth of the game and brand is our focus, and we are excited about future releases, and the animated short films that are launching later this year. The players will have even more great content to consume.”
