Subway Surfers downloaded one billion times on Google Play

Subway Surfers, the graffiti-themed runner by Kiloo and Sybo Games, has been downloaded an astonishing one billion times on Google Play. With 400 million downloads last year alone (they don't specify, so we're assuming that's counting iOS downloads too) the free-to-play game continues to grow in popularity.

Since the mobile-only game's launch in 2012, the developers have updated it with a new location landing every month, meaning that players have been treated to 79 settings across six continents. They're obviously doing something right, and it's hard to argue with those numbers.

Last year we actually visited the studio and found out more about the game and their approach to updating and iterating on the core concept. For more on that, head here.
