Among Us has become one of the most played games on Steam and while it’s not a new title, there’s a lot of people talking about it.
One of the things that has helped build its success is how easy it is to download and play, although platform availability remains limited.
As many gamers will already know, Among Us can be played for free on some platforms, while it costs to download on others.
The good news is that it won’t be taking up a lot of room if you do decide to grab it on PC, Android, or iOS.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD AMONG US FOR FREE
Developers InnerSloth has made it possible to download Among Us for free on Mobile Phones, including those that run Android and iOS.
This means finding and installing the game is as easy as heading over to the Google and Apple App Stores.
As mentioned above, the free version of Among Us is small, meaning there will be no long wait times.
There are some limitations on what devices can run Among Us but it shouldn’t have you looking for an upgrade.
Among Us is also available on PC platforms like Steam or itch.io but it’s not available in the same free-to-play format.
Instead, gamers will need to pay around $5 to add it to their digital collection and it should also be noted that microtransactions are in the game.
For those who fancy splashing the cash on Android or iOS, an ad-free version of Among Us can be purchased.
While we know how easy it is to download and play right now, console gamers want to know when they’re going to get a turn.
CAN YOU PLAY AMONG US ON PS4 OR XBOX ONE?
For now, Among Us is not available to play on either PS4 or Xbox One, and the development team behind the hit game has explained why.
While Among Us on PC, Android and iOS devices can work easily with the touchscreen command or keypads available, consoles use controllers.
This would mean that the Among Us team would have to work out a way to provide an easy way for gamers to communicate, without slowing down gameplay.
Developer InnerSloth’s Forest Willard provided more on the situation during a recent live stream event, via Gamespot, telling viewers:
“[A console port] is something we’re starting to talk about.
“But we’d have to write a system for quick comms. It’d basically be for randoms, like Rocket League.
“I don’t know if we’d be able to implement console voice chat or not. I know one of the first things we want to add is a friend’s list-type account system because it’s real hard to do anything without that s***.”
It will be interesting to see just how high a priority the console port is, as a recent developer blog confirmed that it wasn’t on the current list of upgrades coming to the game.
