Why when I go on speedrun.com, does Subway Surfers have the highest number of total players? It’s not even close. I bet most of you probably would’ve never guessed that. Let’s talk about it.

In Brasil, videogames and strong PCs are extremely expensive to most people, so free mobile games and old games are super popular here
Another good point I didn't think of. Agreed.
@@Storster also, in russia for example, people tend to stay on older games (today), and i honestly dont like newer triple a games and ill personally try to run all old games ive played before, also ive look at more leaderboards than anyone, i can confirm that there are some games where only France players play, and i found only ONE game where its only germans, its also dependant on the popularity of the game in a country
In brasil all gamers are hackers
Overall, video gaming is an expensive hobby
@@Akuretaki_Nikolay ооо акуретаки легенда
Subway Surfers Moderator and Pou Super Mod here, Great video!, you explained it all very well and all of the information is accurate. Its fun verifying all of these runs (at least for me lol) and its fun to see a lot of content creators talking about this. Keep up the high quality content!
sup jensj
I really think the TikTok trends really boosted up the number of people in the Subway Surfers speedrun community... The game is popular as heck and almost everyone played it.
As a brazilian, i can say that Brazilians started playing this game because of memes. It's normal for you to see memes with subway surfers gameplay in the background. Subway surfers has also become famous lately because of the accessibility . most of the people in Brazil play games only using their mobilr
I see a few people complaining about me not tackling the actual runs as much, and I do agree, I probably could've and maybe should've.
I guess I got purely obsessed with just the stats and reasons for the top games in general. I guess I did title it "why it's the most popular" for a reason. A lot of the growth stems from the "no coins" challenge which is popular on the tiktok landscape I mentioned. Unlike normal boards trying to complete a goal as fast as possible, this category leaderboard focuses on surviving the longest possible without grabbing a single coin.
no problem, I enjoyed the analysis!
Well, you now have a good ground base for a second video on the actual Speedrun mechanics of the game 😀
Why do they look way smaller than they should be?
Love how the most popular category is just "how long can you last" instead of doing something as fast as possible. I think the no coins SS category has the most submissions out of any categories in any game on src.
SUP SUP Storster, trying to give u shout outs on different chats
cant wait to watch this video, i already know its great, KEEP IT UP AND DONT FORGET COLLEGE STUDIES !!
BIG VIDEO LETS GO
This video took me by surprise. Great video keep up the good work!
I must have been living under a rock for the last few months, because I had never even noticed Subway Surfers was such a popular speedgame!
So, about the video now: everything was really well-explained and well-edited. The little bits of humo(u)r in between were perfect and didn't draw too much attention to themselves.
If there's one negative thing I have to say, it's that the Minecraft portion of the video felt a little long considering it wasn't the main topic of the video. I get you put it in though, and this is really just a personal nitpick.
Nice stuff!
This game shouldn't be considered a speed run since it defeats the purpose of speedrunning
As one of the mods of subway surfers sr.c i can say that the community that lasted of this game, are the people that still play it since the nocoins trend started, unfortunately, some mods are quitting because it got kinda boring XD, and people are starting to steal money from random people on tiktok lives, by stealing other people's runs and streaming it on tiktok (even friends of mine decided to join this side of the community). This game tends to get less popular more and more with each passing month, to the point where you can only get into the top 10 with a 17 minute run, i mean, someone played subway surfers whitout collecting coins for 41 minutes straight, i mean, that's insane for a game where the objective was to see how long you can survive. And about the video, you're completely right, this game only got popular in sr.c because of the tiktok nocoins trend, and some brazilian people got really encouraged to dominate the top 10. Great video 10/10.
2:13 Haha, LOL!
Some reason that is what got me the hardest so far to actually lol.
Interesting topic, but I was a bit disappointed that the speedruns themselves weren't really talked about.
How competitive is the game, meaning how often are there new record holders? Are the scores pretty much maxed out or are new records substantially better? Are there glitches being used? New tricks found?
When I saw the title of the video, I thought that these factors might play a role in a large speed running scene. Maybe they don't, but maybe they do... I still don't know because the video doesn't talk about these aspects at all.
This comment isn't meant to be rude, by the way! I'd love a "sequel" to this video that tackles these questions.
literally answered the question in the first 10 seconds. Mobile Game.
When I saw that on SRC after not checking speedrunning for more than a year I was so surprised that I had to find an answer, thanks for your video, really well done and informative :)
I too have noticed over the past year Subway Surfers slowly going up and up in players. Very cool to see the reason why! Great video.
M&M Kart Racer at the top when?
In my opinion, it's because the game is so fun and addicting and challenging for the player and amazing video man :]
Never thought I'd watch a speedrun video on Subway Surfers.. but here we are
Next stop: The Mario Speedrun Iceberg
I still have no clue how a speedrun for this game even works
avoid obstacles : luck dependent about item spawns, coin spawns and obstacles spawns
@@Akuretaki_Nikolay But what's the end goal? I thought these runner games go on forever.
@@MagikBased ohh, ok i got the question. There is truly no end of the game XD. i tried to have "arbitrary" goals in Russian Fishing but game's got rejected. But in Subway Surfers there is an End, its the Game over lol, so you can Last in the game, thats the goal and the end of the game
I was confused about that too. Apparently the no coins run (which is the most popular) is seeing how long you can last without grabbing a coin. So it's kind of like a reverse speedrun I guess
@@eXtremeLink859 yeah
10:27 LMAO that's me
yes, its you
@@Kkntucara yep its him
A Brazilian took the only record I went for but some other guy took it away, hoped I would have held it for a year, but I guess Brazilians had other plans
If you were curious the category was 38x- 100k score with coins
14:20 is Storster 10 years later
Just so you are all aware:
Game gets popular with kids.
Kids grow up and the game loses its main player base as it was mostly a fad.
Kid goes from being a teenager to entering their 20s
Gets nostalgic for content from their youth. Gets 'popular' again.
Every huge game has had this projectory pretty much. In fact I've started playing OW again just because I feel a strong sense of nostalgia for it.
Games never really *die* because there is a hardcore player base to every game. Especially when it comes to 'social' games as you obtain what's called 'social currency' which is essentially a nicer way of saying "You have friends only on habbo hotel/roblox and if you leave the game you leave all the money, time and energy you spent on that game behind"
Even though people say World of Warcraft is 'dead' it will never fully die because there are people who want nothing more than to quit the game but if they quit they leave behind literal years of energy they have spent on a single project.
But yeah, a lot of games become popular again simply through ironic nostalgia. Games like Amongus remain popular because the irony was set from the beginning.
Really good video :)
I had literally never heard of this game before and that's when I realize I'm old.
Hey I'm the s mod from when there were 5 runners on the board, man do we have a lot of stories. We thought it would stop at 10000 and then it kept going haha, nice work on the story
I honestly don't how you speedrun this game lol, its more of just a scoreboard than a speedrun leaderboard
It kinda freaks me out sometimes when I think about the dudes I used to babysit.
Me: "Remember 'The Empire Strikes-Back'?!"
Them: "Nope."
*REMEMBER MINECRAFT?!*
*YEAAAAAAAA!!!!!!*
Big and Small House got a bit of popularity because of the "uh oh you found the toothpaste" meme going viral
great interesting vid! should've thought tiktok was responsible for yet another crazy trend lmao
I didn't think Subway Surfers would be a speedrun game.
Never though somebody would really make a video about this
I saw it coming, I expected tharixer, ezscape or abbysoft to talk about it, but they are more focused on other subjects
Banger mobile game ad
For the algorithm
welp, time to get you to 1M subs then
i am mentioned at 10:45 😯
Not gonna lie, I was not impressed with this video all too much.
1. The whole Minecraft tangent at the beginning was not necessary, and you probably could've summarized it in a few sentences. I really don't see how it was needed.
2. You brought up the fact that Subway Surfers is on various devices, but you didn't bring up the fact that it's free, which I think is kind of important, as that's probably one of the biggest reasons why it's blown up.
3.I really think you could've spent some time (maybe to replace the Minecraft section) about how Subway Surfers speedrunning actually works? This is the question I thought would be answered by the video, but even after watching it, I'm still not to sure what differentiates a Subway Surfers speedrun from a normal playthrough. I've seen other people share this confusion.
the point here , in the comparison to minecraft, n64 supermario and switch's Odessey is to show that there are simple, free and short games we play, me especially, that s why he mentioned the farmington discord, bc the big games dont always pull all speedrunners, we small community of the goofy small games we play, are what storster wanted to show. in short heres whats been said : no to minecraft and mario games, even thought its their plays who work the hardest, tehre is also players that play all kind of small games and the community isnt smaller that for big-games
The video was not about speedrunning the game though, it was about why a niche game with minimal "gameplay" became so popular. It's a running game. Everyone knows how they work and how to get a high score.
@@gunstar420 What I'm saying is that I feel how the game is speedrun is a less obvious reason for its success than the reasons mentioned in the video (I think most knew it had something to do with memes).
The video advertises itself as explaining to outsiders what makes Subway Surfers a popular speedrun game. And though it explains the viral/meme side of it, it doesn't explain how the game is actuall speedrun in the first place, which is what I feel the actual confusing part is.
@@Akuretaki_Nikolay I get that was the point, but what I'm saying is that he went into all this detail about Minecraft's history in particular, when in the end, I don't think it added to the point any better than just saying it in a few sentences (kinda like what you did).
@@Double_K_A ok yeah i agree , also one thing someone mentionned, the popularity of this game is on No Coin category (its that category that blew in numbers, then affected the other categories) from the Brazilians
In a storster vid 😎
everybody in farmington is mentioned except me
YOOOOOO IM IN THE VIDEO (roblox)
yeah tiktok has a much larger influence on speedrunning than someone would think
great vid as always!
one word: brazil
First. Good question
Why do we Brazilians have to be everywhere
How tf do you speedrun an autoscroller?
Makes a video about subway surfurs and spends the entire time talking about minecraft
W's in the chat
doors helle
because... stinky stinky fart
Im confused, why talk about Minecraft in a video about subway surfers
How du you play the game on a PC?!?!?
Seterra video when
I've honestly considered it
hi dax bestie :peepoHeart:
Lol
damn ruining 69 comments just to literally say hey!!
"you can play roblox on any kind of device"
me on Linux who can't natively run roblox without using Wine: nice one bro
rip linux users, we often forget bout you
I really like your channel, but I'm afraid to say this video was a bit disappointing. You spent over half of the runtime talking about minecraft and at the end of the video I am still unaware of what a subway surfers speedrun consists other than the popularity aspect...
The video was not about speedruns, it was about why a game with no substance became popular on the leader boards. Minecraft was to explain the ebb and flow of certain games popularity and what brought minecraft back into the spotlight, which was social media, aka the reason Subway surfers became popular. Aka the point of the video.
Yeah I agree. A small nod to minecraft would have sufficed. But he spent ages explaining what minecraft is despite saying that everyone of a certain age should know all about it lmao
You came to a video about why its so big. You cant be too disappointed when there is no explanation as to how you speedrun it. I do agree the minecraft segment was too long.
First
I don’t like brazilians they don’t speedrun smb1
Interesting reasoning
I have a few Pou runs LOL.
For a video about subway surfers why is half of it about Minecraft..
