Subway Surfers Istanbul is a World Tour update of the popular arcade endless runner developed by Kiloo and SYBO Games. Released on September 16, 2024, this version is the 190th World Tour edition and the 192nd installment of the game. The update brings the familiar fast-paced gameplay to the streets of Istanbul, marking the first Turkish destination in Subway Surfers history. Players run along vibrant train tracks inspired by the city while collecting coins, avoiding obstacles, and chasing a higher score.
This update also introduces several new additions to the game. Two new surfers, Kedi and Ruhi, join the roster, both inspired by Istanbul. Existing characters receive new outfits as well, including Zi Hao’s Vanilla Strawberry outfit and Mala’s Miss Mosaic outfit. Players can also unlock three new boards — Couch Surfer, Catalyst, and Flash of Flavor, each adding small gameplay advantages or style changes during a run.
