How to Get Maeko in Subway Surfers

Maeko is a special, limited-time character in Subway Surfers, which means you can't just buy her with coins like other characters. She was available for a limited time for real money. I remember when she was first released, I was so excited to get her because her design is so cool. I ended up buying the Surf Bundle to get her and the Retro Wave board. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I don't regret it because she's one of my favorite characters to play as.

So, how can you get Maeko now? Since she was a limited-time offer, she is not always available. However, there is a chance that she might return to the game in a future update. The developers of Subway Surfers often bring back old characters and content, so it's worth keeping an eye out for any announcements on their social media channels.

How to Get Maeko When She Returns

When Maeko does return, it will likely be in one of two ways:

I remember one time I was playing during a special event and I was able to unlock a different limited-time character for free just by playing the game and collecting a bunch of special tokens. It was a lot of fun and it felt really rewarding to get the character without having to spend any money. So, even if Maeko comes back as a real-money purchase, there's always a chance you could get her for free if you're lucky.

No matter how she returns, you'll want to make sure you have enough in-game currency or real money saved up to get her before she's gone again. You can also check out our post on how to get a lot of coins in Subway Surfers to help you prepare.

In the meantime, you can keep playing Subway Surfers and collecting other characters. There are a ton of cool characters to unlock, and you might even find a new favorite while you're waiting for Maeko to come back.
