Video ads have long since been an integral part of free-to-play mobile games. While some games can profit or at least survive off in-app purchases, some are more heavily reliant on the existence of ads. Naturally enough, some players who may be new to the idea can find overly zealous ads to be intrusive, especially if they pop up in-between or even during gameplays. Fortunately enough, there are hardly any ads in Subway Surfers that you need to sit through other than those you need to activate to continue running as well as to earn more resources.
To start off, there is a whole tab of free stuff to earn within the in-game shop and you can obtain keys, coins, as well as boosters to add to your inventory. There is a free daily mystery box you can claim from the shop as well and plenty of opportunities to boost your earnings with any run. In addition to free revives you can earn instead of consuming keys, you have a chance to double the mystery box you can get after each run. An extra 500 coins can be received as well on top of the coin equivalent of your score.
Given that continuous playthroughs can be exhausting, especially if you are totally focused on performing well for more than hour or so, you can always rest your eyes and hands and continue playing video ads within the “free stuff” tab of the shop to amass coins, keys, and boosters. In some cases, you may even save up more earnings from doing so instead of playing continuously especially if you are already tired.
