SYBO

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 To celebrate the day, players old and new can unlock a special Earth Day frame in our latest update – World Tour: Sakura Tokyo. At SYBO, we’re always exploring ways—big and small—to engage our global community, turn play into positive action, and spread awareness, especially during moments like the Green Game Jam ‘26 coming up this June. If you’re curious about how we’ve crafted our previous updates and campaigns, we encourage you to check out the report “Effective Game Design for Activating Players Towards Environmental Action”, which we worked on with Playing for the Planet, Wooga, and Trailmix Games. 🌱 https://lnkd.in/eEd9EfgT 🌱 Whether it’s making small changes in our daily lives or thinking bigger about how we can contribute through our work, today is a reminder that everyone (and every game) has a role to play. “Sustainability is something I care deeply about, both personally and as a leader at SYBO. We have a responsibility to keep finding ways to weave that into how we build our games, engage our players, and shape the culture of our studio.” – Mathias Gredal Nørvig, CEO of SYBO #EarthDay #SubwaySurfers #GamesForGood

The sakuras are blooming and the Subway Surfers World Tour has arrived in Tokyo. 🌸 With two brand-new surfers, Tsuki-chan and Kaito, our players get to experience the vibrant city of Tokyo. Running through colorful and bright streets, and beautiful pink sakura trees. Last year we celebrated Golden Week in Osaka, which became a new fan-favorite. We are now excited for our players to return to one of the top-ranked destinations. Come celebrate Golden week in Subway Surfers Sakura Tokyo from April 20th to May 10th! #subwaysurfers #SYBO #mobilegame #GooglePlay #Apple

We're proud to share our Subway Surfers City X Unity Case study! 🚆 With this release, we set out to evolve the runner genre while staying true to what made Subway Surfers a global success. That meant introducing new gameplay modes like City Tour and live events, while significantly raising the bar on visual quality — all without compromising performance across a wide range of devices. Atash Qasim, our Lead Game Designer says: “It had to scale technically at the same pace that design and content scaled creatively.” To make that possible, we built a highly modular and scalable architecture, enabling fast iteration and continuous content updates — while keeping gameplay responsive and fluid for millions of players. At the same time, performance remained a core focus. Our Technical Director GABRIEL Lascano explains: “We embedded strict mesh and shader complexity budgets, implemented tiered rendering paths with different quality levels and resolution scaling, and continuously profiled across representative devices.” The result: ✅ Consistent 60 FPS ✅ ~6x increase in supported devices ✅ Significant reductions in GPU and CPU overhead ✅ A scalable foundation for live game development This project is a great example of how disciplined profiling, modular design, and close collaboration can unlock both higher fidelity and broader accessibility. A big thank you to Unity for the partnership and support throughout this journey! 🙌 Read the case study here: https://lnkd.in/e79XmHMe #SubwaySurfersCity #SubwaySurfers #SYBO #MobileGame #Unity

Subway Surfers… at the Oscars?! 🤯 🎬 That definitely wasn’t on our 2026 bingo card.
