How to Update Subway Surfers

Keeping your Subway Surfers app updated is super important. It means you get all the latest features, characters, and bug fixes. The easiest way to update Subway Surfers is to go to the App Store on your iPhone or the Google Play Store on your Android device, search for the game, and tap the "Update" button.

My little brother is a huge Subway Surfers fan, and he always begs me to update the game the second a new version comes out. He gets so excited about the new characters and hoverboards. It’s pretty cute, actually. I remember one time he was so impatient for an update that he tried to do it himself and almost deleted the app by mistake! Now, I just handle the updates for him.

I was once on vacation and had really bad Wi-Fi, which made it impossible to update any of my apps. I was so bummed because I knew there was a new Subway Surfers update with a cool new character. I had to wait until I got back home to finally update the game. The wait was worth it, though!
