This one is coming out of nowhere but Kiloo Games and Sybo Games have released Subway Surfers for Windows Phone. We’ve confirmed with Microsoft that this is an official release and not a clone. Indeed, it’s the same version number as the one for the iPhone, that is version 1.16.
Subway Surfers is yet another endless runner, but it has gained a ton of popularity, rivaling Temple Run. First released in May 2012, this game has been one of the top requested titles for Windows Phone and now that day is here.
Weighing in at 27 MB, the game has spritely, colorful graphics with excellent gameplay. We’ve fired it up on our Lumia 1520 and it plays very smoothly, letting us ride our hover board through London while jumping trains. There’s even Santa and a Christmas theme, right in time for the holidays, so Windows Phone users should be excited by having the latest and greatest version from Kiloo. From the game description:
Help Jake, Tricky & Fresh escape from the grumpy Inspector and his dog.
- Grind trains with your cool crew!
- Colorful and vivid HD graphics!
- Hoverboard Surfing!
- Paint powered jetpack!
- Lightning fast swipe acrobatics!
- Challenge and help your friends!
All in all in this is a HUGE win for Windows Phone 8 today and we’re sure many of you will be extremely excited. We’ll have a video hands on in a bit , but for now you can go and grab Subway Surfers here in the Store. Windows Phone 8 only, 1 GB of RAM required (512 MB support is coming).
Thanks, Skyrocker007, for the tip!

i contacted them today and this is the reply i got.
they are not guarantee wether it will support or not. :( :(
Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry and for your interest in Subway Surfers.
It has not been technically possible for now for us to create a version of Subway Surfers for the 512 MB RAM Windows Phone devices that had a playable performance. We are working on optimizing Subway Surfers to support these phones.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that this will be possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Kiloo

Plz make subway surfer for nokia Lumia 520 bcz without subway surfer the WP isn't complete note:- the nokia Lumia 520 has 512 Mb ram plz help plz plz plz
Gaurav i m with u
One more amazing game that is causing after 5mins of gameplay ~35% battery consymption per hour.
Totaly bored with that issue on WP and Microsoft turning its back to us pretending the issue doesn't exist!
Anybody knows if Nokia Care Centers recognize the warranty of Nokia devices?
If so i will take it to a Nokia Care to replace it,hoping it's a device problem or sadly i will be forced to move back to iOS again until WP become more mature and stable in 1-2 years from now!
Provide update for 512 mb in this week only...pls
Hoping 4 same!!!
I never cared for this game on my iPhone but just to show my support, i downloaded it, and i am happy with it. Big big win for WP8, and i am sure that with WP8.1, with the kind of features that are talked about, WP will annihilate other OSs. WP FTW..!!!
Is it win phone restriction that we can't see other fb users who play surfers ?? :( :(
No.play minion rush.u can see fb friends
Same with Minion rush as well, i can't find any of my fb friends who play minion rush on their android device.
i want to play this on.my lumia 520,hilarious that i can play asphalt 8 but not subway lol
The same point
when is the expected date of arriving for 512 MB RAM :(
Waited so long for this game & its available now but my phone doesnt support :(
Make it for l720 :(
Nice one Nokia and Microsoft...
<p>when it will be avilable for 512 mb ram</p>
Awesome game, imagine that with xbox live support. This would be huge.
This is great news. Now that Microsoft is catching up on games, they need to concentrate on getting some of these games to come over as Xbox Live titles. Xbox Live is one of the main differentiators from the other two operating systems and they need to keep this going strong in order to attract people to WP8.
When the game available for 512 MB devices..??
Some people talk about the keys not showing when you crash but it works for me. It always gives me the option to use the keys. My only problem is Facebook integration. I want to compete with my contacts. I love this game on windows phone because it doesn't lag like on android.
What will they do to make it available for 512mb devices? Reduce graphics? Like asphalt 8?
Been waiting for this game since months and when its finally out, it requires 1GB RAM. Wtf is wrong with the developers? Don't they realize that more than 80% of WP users are on 512 MB RAM. First it was Angry birds and now Subway Surfers...Duuuhhhh!!!
I hope the 512 MB RAM release is out soon.
Can i sync the score from my Samsung tab to this phone?
thank u so much for this game..thank u wp
I love this month <3
this year has been huge for windows phone
Make this game work on 512 MB ram devices
There is none here who would be able to help you.Would be nice if u mail the devs or tweet @subway_surfers
Played this a bit today, personally I think that Rail Rush and Minion Rush are far more feature filled, and not displaying the missions and daily challenge after each game is a massive fail, you have to go back to the menu to see what you need to accomplish for the next upgrade. Should ditch the self gloating picture of the rider that takes up the whole screen almost and actually put some info in that I can use.
The other two also provide more variety in locations and moving pathways (without Temple Runs horrible "swipe to turn" mechanic that I hate with a passion) to create a more dynamic environment. Subway Surfer just seems very basic in comparison.
As it stands it is currently not as good as the other two titles I own. But who knows, maybe future updates, and I really can't complain too much when something costs nothing.
You can see your current missions. Just pause the screen and you will be able to see them.
Yeah I noticed this, but what I'd like is immediate recognition after I fail. Something on the "play again" screen to say where I'm at in regards to missions. From memory I don't even think it tells you when you have completed a set, but I could be wrong about that one.
Doesn't change the fact that it still is lacking a lot of things that other Endless Runners have, I don't really care about changing outfits and boards (although some do affect gameplay which is a nice addition.
well this is on of the games on my list. perhaps its time to think about listing my nexus 5 and hop back on windowsphone. csr racing are you listening?
Pls make this for 512mb phones..I can't play it on my Lumia 520
But not supported for Lumia 520..it requires 1gb RAM..:(
Looks great on my red Lumia 1520!
Now I'm just expecting candy crush saga. That game is killing it out there!!!
What I don't like is that I can't see the list of my friends. The good thing about this game is to compete against others on Facebook otherwise it's just useless. Sorry about that.
This is what i want for christmas :P
AM I DREAMING?
Thank god , I was reading and when I read for 1gb ram only I freaked then there was the : (512 MB support is coming). It made my day lol can't wait to play it on my 520
Wheres the double wide tile?
One of many ported games on WP8 but also one of few well-optimized games for the WP platform so that it can run very smooth!Optimizing games and updating them is the new problem for the WP8 store apps/games.(On WP7.x the problem was the porting of the games due to the re-coding of the game)
I hope they will optimize the game even more so that it will become as more smooth and stable as possible!
Now just now, i can say that windowsphone can really compete Android and iOS!!!
A must have game, but the loading it's kinda slow
Finally got the game required on wp8.. Thanks kiloo n wpcentral for the update..!! :-)
Hmmm. I would have wet my pants reading this a few months ago. But not today. I got a single vacancy for such endless runner games..and Minion Rush. 'Nuff said.
doesn't work on lumia 520
Its 512 Mb ram not supported yet but its coming . Hang in there mate .
Make it available for Windows 8.1 also
The game is sparingly fast and fluid, unlike many games that came recently to WP 8
Please available it for 520 (512 mb ram), thank u for making it for windows phone,it's a very late entry,but still nice,thank u very much.we are eagerly waiting for this,please.....
Score World Goals would be cool, it just came out on Android and it is very addicting. WP made really big steps in the last 2 months, its crazy. And looking at GTA San Andreas dropping this week together with android shows that even big dogs notice it
The fb connecting doesn't work or at least it couldn't find any of my friends... Sigh
Windows 8, plans?
Yes finally
no rumours... no expectations..
came out of what!!!!!!
feelin sky high!!! :)
This is just Minion Rush again. Whilst having the added bonus of encouraging kids to play on train tracks. Ok it's great that the platform is getting parity but if this is the level we're aiming for the whole world has gone to shit.
This is excellent! Now all those whiners can stop bitching about subway surfers. Bitching about the next game starts in 3...2...1....Go!!
It is not available for Brazilian Market... (Lumia 925)
If minion rush can support 512mb why cant this????
This came can support 512 mb ram but such support has not been implemented yet. Support for 512 mb ram devices is coming. Wait a few weeks.
few weeks!! really??
+1
Now lets get the most popular game on mobile candy crush
Just another runner?!?!?!?!?
They way people were clamoring for this game, I expected something different.
Any word on PvsZ 2?
Any word on PvsZ 2?

Any word on PvsZ 2?
huh?
Why am I being chased by a Santa ...
Hehe coz its Christmas time. You teased Santa and he is chasing you lol.
Very Good game.
I m waiting for 512 mb devices
Oh my! This is my favorite Android game!
I guess I was missing out. Pretty fun.
This is actually huge. My 5-year old daughter plays this all the time on my wife's iPhone. She is going to love it on a bigger screen. Ok, I may play this too! My daughter loves having her own space on my phone with Kid's Corner. Great feature.
Any expected date for 512mb release ???
Should be coming soon,@joebelfiore never tweets something which is a speculation...lets hope within a few weeks it will be out
I need this for 512 MB ram please make it fast I can't wait
WP8 is getting more ecosystem than before , I am happy with its progress . The game's graphic is perfect and running smoothly !
I'm sure i will get 1gb device next selling my 520.first angry birds go and now subway surfer
Woot woot! This was long overdue.... I hope ninjump and temple run 2 are on the way:). I can't wait for 512 mb ram support. If minion rush can support 512, I see no reason this cant. Its great that it will be coming. Can anyone give an approximate date of arrival of 512 mb ram support? I just bought a Lumia 520 after using a 510 for 2 years.
Yeahhhhhh....lv u windowsphone
I think you mean LVL UP WINDOWSPHONE! :D
No? Not funny? Awwww..:(
Finally, but still have to wait
Yeah!!
Everyone wishing for candy crush can almost forget it, King aren't interested in a WP port. This is a big one for WP though and one more step towards app parity!
Subway guys said the same thing and then!
Ok so I played subway surfers on my lumia 920. It's very smooth and fun to play but there are some bugs. Facebook integration fails. It does not show any of my friends where as my ipad shows all of my friends may be it will only show windows phone users playing subway surfers. Second bug is annoying. Whenever you die in the game it should pop up with the keys to ask you to play the game from same area but it doesn't show just skips to the scoreboard area. Hope they fixes these 2 major issues. And I am scarred if I played this game and and update is arrived soon it won't delete my score,coins or upgrades.
The keys randomly showed up for me after my third or fourth run. Play a little longer and the same should happen for you.
Yeah after playing it for 5 mins suddenly the keys appeared. But Facebook still does not work.
Same applies for minion rush.
Yup, the important thing about this game is to compete with your Facebook friends otherwise it's useless. I agree with you 100%. They should fix this really soon.
Nice and smooth!
When can users of 512MB devices play subway surfer???
Yipee
512 mb :-(
512 MB pleaseee!!;
Please bring support for 512 mb devices as soon as possible... Coz most people have Lumia 520 and 720...
There are two types of people in this world. Those who have Windows Phone with 512 MB and other with 1GB. :(
Your world is VERY small.
And the majority of WP users have 512MB devices.
Cool... Waiting for 512mb version... :)
AMAZING! This release just shows that Windows Phone is relevant now in the appworld! Kudos to Kiloo. I love this game. Just gimme Temple Run 2 and I'm all set.
+1
This will shut the "No Subway Surfers for WP" people out there.. :P
No it won't. They'll find something else to bitch about.
Clash of Clans
Troll Wars is here and we think it's better then CoC and Jungle Heat. Try it. For WP and W8/RT.
Hope 512mb support arrive soon :)
Enjoying this game at my desk now. Thank God for slow days.
So I guess if we want the popular games (at least the first generation of such games) they won't be Xbox branded.
Or we could prod Microsoft to streamline the Xbox certification process for Windows Phone games so that we can have both: popular titles getting ported over sooner and with Xbox integration. Go to Twitter and start re-tweeting #SaveXboxWP posts that call out Microsoft executives and maybe we'll see a change.
All these games would stand out from their counterparts on other platforms with Xbox live and achievements, instead of being the same game. Pass.
I agree: one of the big distinguishing features of gaming on Windows Phone is Xbox integration. The fact that big name titles like these are launching without Xbox features makes them nothing but sloppy seconds / boring ports. I know you're already on board the #SaveXboxWP movement, but for the benefit of others whoe want to tell Microsoft to better support Xbox gaming on Windows Phone, start here: http://forums.wpcentral.com/gamers-lounge/249754-asphalt-8-not-xbox-title-lets-mobilize-reverse-trend-savexboxwp.html
Great to see this arrive on WP. I know it gets said a lot (which is a very good thing actually), but this is another one ticked off the list for WP :)
not available in Russian store :(
Woww!!
finally my android friends will shut their mouth!
Right :-)
So true...!
thanks
!!!!!!!!! :D !!!!!!!! All I wanted was custom notification tones and Subway Surfer!! I now have both!!!!!!!!! Everything else is extra IMO!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!
With all these games coming out for WP, I'm almost rethinking my decision to buy my son an iPad Mini....
Now my daughter will stop complaining, and be happy about her 920 :) (the other daughter with the 620, it's another story...)
Waiting for 512 MB support.... When....?.?...
When is Candy Crush coming to windows phone?
High scores anyone? Just got 13378, first time playing. Now back to work, hah.
Woha! Not a huge gamer actually, just happy that more "main stream apps" are coming to WP .
Not for 512 mb ram...
another bug,wheneve i die in this game it should ask me to use keys to get back in game but it doesnt
It does for me; but not before I connected Facebook. Not sure if those two are related or if I just hadn't picked up any keys before then.
They keys suddenly showing up :p but they have to look at facebook integration. It does not show my friends ( i think it will only show windows phone users as same is happening with minion rush )
So many endless runners.
It's great dude since it's a popular game. So, cheers up :)
Oh, I didn't mean it as something bad, it's that I don't go to the toilet enough times a day, to play them all :D
Lol
Haha, that's when I play them too :D
Thanks for sharing.
Enough of these running games but I am loving these prices tags lately. Btw wpcentral where's GTA?!!
I found a bug. When I connected the game with my facebook account it does not show any of my friends record. Where as in ipad it shows all my friends activity. And best part it's completely add-free when compared to ios and android.
It's showing only windows phone friends who are playing the game.The same issue is with minion rush
This is irritating. Hope they fix it asap.
Wow,that came out of nowhere :)
Was playing this on my yoga just yesterday and was wondering when it would show up on windows phone..
We getting all tha top games fast now
Unfortunately though this is at expense of xbl support. I guess beggers cant be choosers as the saying goes. Lets hope ms is working behind the scenes to improve the certification process.
It seems like Xbox integration has been holding windows phone back. Now that companies have stopped using it, we've been getting rained on by big games and ofifcial titles. I know a lot of people hate the fact that its been disappering, but I for one don't miss it at all. It'll be nice to have it, but if Microsoft won't relax their requirements, then who needs xbox integration.
512mb also..make it soon...
Been holding out all day for gta news but this a surprise.
What the...!!! Need 1 gig??? :'(
My kids will enjoy this.
This is an awesome news for the WP platform. It might be growing slow, but it's growth is steady. Now, with developers showing their love for the platform, we can expect some speedy growth.
WP8 is full speeding ahead.
I'm a little surprised Microsoft didn't make this an Xbox title given its popularity.
It's not Microsoft decision to make, but Microsoft is to blame for developers insistence on not having Xbox Live certification. Hopefully they can fix the certification process in time to turn this trend around.
Guys Guys Xbox certification is a tough process that's y Microsoft didn't do it to make wpstore growing fast
Yeah, or they could fix the process. That would be better for Windows Phone's growth, as it would make it easier to promote what is a really distinguishing feature of the platform.
Then go on Twitter and tell them that you thought it should be an Xbox title: @windowsphone @Windows @xbox @Microsoft. Use the #SaveXboxWP hashtag. If they don't hear it from you, they won't know it's important to you.
Saying it's not Microsoft's decision is technically true but it's their platform and their certification process, and if developers aren't scrambling to make all their games Xbox certified, then something is wrong on Microsoft's end.
Yeaaaaa!!!
That was unexpected..temple run 2? And 1gb :(
Can't wait for the 512mb support coming ! L720 here. Great job you developers for supporting wp :)
Yep..!!!! At last
Oooooooo I hope it doesn't have too many bugs :)
Edit: no lag whatsoever!
Its working fine but Facebook integration is not proper.Its not showing my android and ios friends.
Yes its showing only me. Surely many others would be playing
My 6 year old has a L920 (not really his) and he is going to be happy. No playing on mommies iphone.
Please Paul and Daniel: someone has a contact from the developers so I can try to get this game available on Brazil??? Please please please.
Just change your country to US and download. Then revert back to Brazil.
Hi. As a said to many times before: I am not just thinking about myself, I am thinking about the whole people that dont know about this, or that just dont want to do that.
Do you have any games for WP?
AWESOME!!!! Candy Crush will be next... I hope!!!
I hope so too!
+620 hope with support for 512mb devices at launch.
Yes candy crush please. Its big right now and people who are switching phones are avoiding WP. It will be a big boost yo WP, hope its not released too late after the hype has died
+720 with 512 Mb RAM support,.
Sweet. Its official - Windows Phone is easily the 3rd ecosystem. Yes we still get apps late but increasingly they are coming!
With an increasing speed too :)
It's been official for quite some time, yet the main milestone was when Instagram was released for us
1 gb...:/
I'm not very familiar but this game but know it's big, so yay! Win for WinPhone lol! I''ll give it a go.
Woohoooo!! :)
That's surprise
Loving it
It requires 1gb ram!!!!! :'(
Not for my 720 :'(
