Subway Surfers, the endless runner game we all know and love, is a free-to-play game. But like most free games, it has to make money somehow, and that's where ads come in. So, to answer the question simply: yes, Subway Surfers does have ads. But it's not as bad as you might think.

The ads in Subway Surfers are mostly optional video ads. You can choose to watch these ads to get in-game rewards like coins, keys, and other goodies. I remember one time I was so close to beating my high score, but I crashed. I was so frustrated, but then I saw the option to watch an ad to revive my character. I watched the ad, got back in the game, and ended up beating my high score! It was a great feeling.

Types of Ads in Subway Surfers

There are a few different types of ads you'll see in Subway Surfers:

• Rewarded Video Ads: These are the most common type of ad in the game. You can watch these to get rewards like coins, keys, and headstarts.
• Banner Ads: These are small ads that appear at the bottom of the screen. They're not too intrusive, but they can be a bit annoying.
• Interstitial Ads: These are full-screen ads that pop up between gameplay sessions. They're the most annoying type of ad, but they don't appear too often.

I was playing the other day and got a pop-up ad right as I was about to jump over a train. It was so frustrating because it broke my concentration and I ended up crashing. It doesn't happen often, but it's something to be aware of.
