The game evolved into an open-world adventure, incorporating jet skis and land exploration to mirror the diverse lifestyle of real-life surfers. Additional features like controller support, wave scoring, and contests were later added to deepen the engagement. The latest updates introduced character dialogues, enhancing the game's immersion into surf culture and making Surfers Code a standout surfing simulation that pushes the limits of gaming technology.
