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 from 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 of the android & ios users have this game in their devices. So, to play this game in pc many of us will use Bluestacks App installer or other android emulators which requires 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 Subway Surfers game.

It's not Bluestacks or any other android emulator. You can directly run it in 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.
