Subway Surfers is an endless runner that first hit our mobile devices in 2012. Since then, it's been downloaded billions of times. The developer, SYBO Games, has since added content. The latest update hits the streets of Edinburgh in Scotland, where players can get their hands on the newest Surfer, Callum.

Subway Surfers Score Boosters: Comment obtenir des boosters de score
Score boosters are essential for achieving a competitive high score. In effect, you can run the same distance but only get a fraction of the points with no score multiplier. There are several ways to get score boosters, most of which involve watching an ad.
The fastest way is to start your run and tap the star in the lower left corner. This is where you can buy a boost for 3000 coins or watch an ad for free. The easiest way is to go to the store, click on the "Free Stuff" tab and watch an ad there. Finally, you can buy score boosters in the "Boosts" tab of the store.

Subway Surfers tips, tricks and cheats
If you play Subway Surfers and want to know some gameplay tips or how to earn money, then check these out:
- Upgrade: There's an overwhelming amount of characters and hoverboards to collect in Subway Surfers, but don't get distracted. Of course, a fancy new hoverboard will help you get a higher score, but it won't help you collect coins. If you want to maximize your earnings, visit the store, click on “Boosts” and upgrade the jetpack and coin magnet. These two objects appear regularly and help you collect coins
- Claim Free Stuff: Every day there are crates, keys and more waiting for you. Not everyone needs ads, but a good majority do. If you're looking to make some quick cash, you can collect a lot more coins in a 30 second ad than you can by playing for 30 seconds
- Save your keys: You can't buy everything with coins in Subway Surfers. There are a number of characters and hoverboards that you can purchase with keys. It means you have to save for something you want
- Aim for something: Flip through hoverboards and characters and choose the one you want. This will prevent you from spending coins on cheap characters and bad boards. The fastest way to start collecting characters and tables is to save
- Be Active: When jumping in the air, you don't have to wait for your character to hit the ground. You can swipe left or right to avoid an obstacle. If you need to roll under an upcoming object, slide down to hit the ground faster
- Grab the Magnet: The magnet is the absolute best tool for collecting coins. Every time you see the magnet, it's worth trying to catch it, even if you set a new high score. Indeed, you can always get multipliers and beat your high score later.
