Where Are Subway Surfers Scores and Saves Stored?
Subway Surfers progress syncs through connected accounts with scores and unlocks cached in app storage.
Last updated
Subway Surfers ties progress to a connected account where possible, syncing scores, characters, and boards through it. Guest sessions live only in the app's private storage with no backup anywhere.
That split decides what survives. Connected accounts restore everything on login across phones. Guest high scores die with the app data, which is exactly why the game pushes account linking. Link first, then reinstall without fear.

Frequently asked questions
Do I lose my high scores if I reinstall?
Scores, characters, and boards return on login to the same account. Only unsynced guest progress stays behind, so connect the account before wiping.
