So, you want to change your name in Subway Surfers but can't find the option in the game settings? I remember being stuck on this for a while myself, frantically tapping through every menu. Don't worry, it's actually pretty simple, but the process happens outside of the Subway Surfers app itself.

You can't directly change your name within Subway Surfers. Your in-game name is tied to your Google Play Games or Game Center account. To change your Subway Surfers name, you'll need to change your name in the respective account.

How to Change Your Name on Android

If you're an Android user, your Subway Surfers name is linked to your Google Play Games account. Here's how to change it:

1. Open the Play Games app on your device.

2. Tap on your profile picture at the top.

3. Tap on the edit pencil icon.

4. Change your gamer name and tap Save.

It might take a little while to update in Subway Surfers, so don't be alarmed if you don't see the change immediately. I once changed my name right before a big family gathering and was hoping to show off my new, cool name. It took about an hour to update, just in time for me to crush my cousin's high score.

How to Change Your Name on iOS

For all the iPhone and iPad players out there, your name is connected to Apple's Game Center. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to your device's Settings.

2. Scroll down and tap on Game Center.

3. Tap on your Nickname.

4. Enter your new desired name and tap Done.

Similar to Android, the name change might not be instant. A friend of mine tried to change his name to something funny to surprise me, but it didn't update until the next day. So, a little patience is key! While you're waiting, why not check out if you think you can actually beat Subway Surfers?

And there you have it! A new name to show off on the leaderboards. If you're looking to make some in-app purchases in Subway Surfers to get that new character or hoverboard you've been eyeing, you can use Playstorm to earn Google Play or Apple App Store gift cards by playing fun games.
