Subway Surfers to introduce first AR features into the long-running title | Pocket Gamer.biz

New AR Features Coming to Subway Surfers in July

Subway Surfers, the long-running hit game by Sybo, is set to receive exciting new augmented reality (AR) features next month. The new Subway Studio feature will allow players to choose characters from the game and place them within their real-world surroundings using their device’s camera. This means that players can create videos and take pictures of their favorite Subway Surfers characters superimposed onto their actual environment. The best part is that this feature will be seamlessly integrated into the main Subway Surfers game, eliminating the need for any additional downloads.

The CEO of Sybo, Mathias Gredal Nørvig, expressed their excitement about Subway Studio, stating, “Subway Studio puts the power of creativity and virality in our players’ hands, allowing them to interact, tell stories, and create content with their favourite characters in their homes, backyards, workplaces, you name it.”

This new feature aims to cater to the thriving community of Subway Surfers players who enjoy creating their own content. According to Nørvig, the Subway Surfers hashtag on TikTok has accumulated over 34 billion views, with the majority of videos being user-generated. With Subway Studio, players will have even more opportunities to unleash their creativity and share their experiences.

Embracing Innovation

Sybo is committed to continuously improving Subway Surfers and introducing new ways for players to engage with the game. With Subway Studio, they have incorporated cutting-edge mobile AR and camera tracking technologies to provide players with an immersive experience. Regardless of their device’s AR capabilities, players will be able to enjoy this feature.

In addition to Subway Studio, Sybo will also be launching an interactive filter for TikTok. This filter will allow players to engage with one of the game’s characters, Jake, similar to how they would with the Subway Studio feature.

With a dedicated team focused on regular updates, new games, and innovative features, it’s evident that Sybo is determined to keep the Subway Surfers franchise on the track to success.
