Among Us is a big hit on mobile

The video game Among Us is the sensation of the moment. After the recent success of Fall Guys, it is another multiplayer video game developed by an independent game studio that is making headlines. While the game has been around since 2018, it is now enjoying impressive success, especially in the mobile sector. The game is playable on multiple devices, and it appeals with its quick pick-up and ultra dynamic games. We don't know how long this success will last, but today it is impossible to ignore the phenomenon. VoDs or streams can be found all over the place on YouTube and Twitch. References and photomontages are also multiplying on social networks.

It's hard to pass up, as the game costs less than 5 euros on PC. For mobile gamers, who represent the majority, there are even fewer excuses. Among Us is (for the moment) free on iOS and Android!

An interactive cooperation game

The principle of the game is extremely simple : you play as a team of astronauts preparing for their departure. You must therefore complete a series of quests before leaving, in the form of mini-games. Except that, among you, there are one or more impostors, who will try to kill you. Therefore, complete your missions as quickly as possible and vote to eliminate the culprits at the meetings. But be convincing or suspicion will turn to you! Among Us is a kind of enhanced werewolf, which can bring together mobile and PC players.

In addition to being simple and very fun, the game appeals because it has an active community . If not everyone in your own circle of friends has the game, it is easy to find other participants. Whether it is friends of friends or on dedicated servers, Among Us creates a bond. But be careful, don't be too quick to trust, as an impostor can hide behind any player!

Among Us: a majority of mobile players

For practical reasons, playing on a PC can be advantageous. Not least because you can use the keyboard (QWERTY) and mouse to optimise your actions. However, the majority of Among Us players play on mobile. According to figures provided by one of the developers, almost 90% of players use a phone (iOS or Android). The reason for this preference is probably the free mobile application.

Buying it on PC will cost you a few bucks, but will give you access to skins in game. It's also a good way to support Innersloth LLC, the independent game studio!
