Enjoy Playing Subway Surfers: Saint Petersburg
I’ve been zipping through the streets of St. Petersburg in Subway Surfers lately, and I’ve got to say, the whole vibe is just something else. You’re immediately greeted by those stunning onion-domed churches, elegant bridges over the Neva River, and the colorful row houses that feel like a painting come to life. The day–to–night cycle even tweaks the light so that sunrise casts this warm glow on the pavement, and by evening, neon signs flicker to life, bringing the city’s famous nightlife into your run.
What really sold me on this edition, though, is the new gear they’ve added. There’s a matryoshka-themed hoverboard that spins like a Russian nesting doll, and a samovar-inspired jetpack that puffs out steam whenever you use it. The daily missions involve collecting little items you’d find in a Dostoevsky novel—think Fabergé eggs and imperial hats—and it’s such a neat nod to the city’s history without feeling like a history lesson.
Of course, the gameplay itself feels just as smooth as ever. You’re still grinding rails, diving under barriers, and leaping over oncoming trains, but every now and then a police officer in a ushanka pops up, giving chase with a dramatic “Nyet!” that makes you laugh out loud. The soundtrack even weaves in a few hints of balalaika riffs whenever you hit a milestone, which keeps the energy high and the feet tapping as you run.
At the end of the day, it’s the little details that make this World Tour stop memorable. From the ornate bridges to the palace-like train cars, everything about this update feels lovingly crafted. Whether you’re a longtime Subway Surfers fan or just looking for a fresh cityscape to explore on your commute, St. Petersburg is definitely worth a spin.
