Download and Play Subway Surfers on PC using a keyboard
Subway Surfers is one of the most popular games in the android app store. It has been rated 4.5/5 and has more than 2 million votes. It's an interesting game where we run to evade a cop. While running we have to dodge obstacles without falling. We also have to collect gold coins along our long run to complete missions. Most android & ios users have this game on their devices. So, to play this game on pc many of us will use Bluestacks App installer or other android emulators which require graphic cards if you don't have one it will suck your RAM and physical memory and will result in a system hang. In this post, I'm going to share a link to download the standalone .exe version of the Subway Surfers game. It's not Bluestacks or any other android emulator. You can directly run it on any Windows system without installing it. Just run the .exe file to start the game. It will be difficult to play the game using the mouse. So, I have added an AutoHotkey script to play using keyboard.Unlocking all characters in this game will take years. The file you download will also let you unlock all characters. Just read the instructions below carefully.

Not Working?
If the game is not working for you, then you have to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (5MB). After installing it, the game will work for you.
