Subway Surfers developer Sybo has collaborated with Hipster Whale to merge its endless runner with Crossy Road for the first time.

Starting March 31st, 2025, both mobile games will launch limited edition crossover characters, challenge events, new gameplay mechanics, and other surprises. 

During the three-week crossover event, Subway Surfers players can complete the Crossy Road Challenge to earn limited-edition rewards, including Crossy Road-themed characters Chicken Jake and Mallard Tricky. 

In Crossy Road, players can explore a new Subway Surfers world, bringing Jake, Tricky, and the crew into the adventure alongside Crossy Road's cast. The event grants access to Jake and introduces familiar Subway Surfers mechanics like jetpacks and magnets. 

Creating joy and nostalgia 

“When you think about the most iconic mobile games of the last decade, Subway Surfers and Crossy Road often go hand-in-hand,” said Sybo CEO Mathias Gredal Nørvig. 

“Throughout Subway Surfers’ 13th year, we’ve been reflecting on other mobile games that have helped shape modern culture, and Crossy Road is one we admire. 

“We hope our collective playerbase finds joy in the nostalgia of our universes colliding and Subway Surfers’ first-ever game collaboration.” 

Hipster Whale CEO Clara Reeves commented: “For the past decade, both Subway Surfers and Crossy Road have delighted many of the same players around the globe with their engaging gameplay, distinct styles, and beloved characters." 

“This crossover has been long-requested by both our communities and it’s been a wonderful experience working with Sybo to bring it to life – we hope players love seeing these two iconic universes come together as much as we’ve loved creating it.”
