Innersloth’s Among Us [http://www.innersloth.com/gameAmongUs.php] saw an epic boom in its popularity in 2020 due to the global lockdown. The game, originally released in 2018, caught the public eye as an ever-growing list of streamers and YouTubers began playing it. Soon, its popularity reached such heights that the game became a part of daily conversations. Among Us is a game of collaboration and deception. Crewmates must identify and eject the impostor, whose aim is to kill the crewmates. During the lockdown, this game became one of the most fun methods of spending time with your friends and family while isolating in their respective homes. Now, recent reports suggest that Among Us is the most popular game in the world, in terms of monthly players. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/social-deduction-games-among-us-1200x675-1.jpg] AMONG US DECLARED AS THE MOST POPULAR GAME IN THE WORLD According to a recent report [https://www.superdataresearch.com/blog/worldwide-digital-games-market/] shared by the research firm Nielsen, Innersloth’s party game had approximately half a billion active users in November. The game is available for download on Android and iOS devices, as well as PC. However, it saw the most downloads on the Android and iOS devices, closing up to approximately 42 million downloads. Stats suggest that this constitutes about 70 percent of its lifetime downloads. A major part of the game’s success can also be credited to Twitch. Not very long ago, US Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez streamed the game on her channel [https://www.twitch.tv/aoc], drawing the third-highest views to a single channel in October. This sudden boom in popularity has encouraged Innersloth to expand the game to more platforms. Additionally, many game developers came up with different mods of the game, bringing innovative twists to the fan-favorite game. Popular YouTubers such as MrBeast and NoahFromYouTube streaming multiple games of Among Us on their respective channels has also played a huge role in its popularity.

This can primarily be because most of the downloads are on Android and iOS devices, where the game is available for free. The PC version of the game, too, can be bought for a meagre price of $4.99 (£3.99). Innersloth recently made the game available for Switch (£3.89/$4.99), and Xbox Game Pass for PC as well. According to SuperData, “Since Among Us is not heavily monetized, earnings figures are comparatively smaller.” What are your thoughts about this popular party game?

most popular game in terms of monthly players.

Among Us is a social deduction game heavily inspired by the party game 'Mafia'. Developer Innersloth released the game in 2018, but it only gained popularity in 2020. Streamer Sodapoppin discovered the game first and since then, streamers like PewDiePie, Disguised Toast, Pokimane, Ninja have all played it regularly.

The rules of the game are simple. With up to 10 players in a single game, players can choose whether they want to have 3, 2, or 1 impostor per game based on individual preferences. Impostor/Impostors and crewmates are randomly chosen.

Once the game begins, the crewmates have to finish certain tasks on the map at different locations. The job of the impostors is to kill the crewmates without being suspected. If a dead body is found, both crewmates and impostors can report it. Once done, the players can choose to vote out anyone they suspect or just skip voting.

Another way impostors can win is by sabotaging the reactor or oxygen on the ship. If there are an equal number of impostors and teammates by the end of a voting session, the impostors win. If the crewmates successfully identify the impostors and vote them out, they win. Crewmates can also win if they successfully complete all the tasks before the impostors can do their jobs.

Developer Innerslorth also announced earlier that they were working on an Among Us 2 title. Although, shortly after the original game blew up in popularity, the developers announced that the sequel was canceled for the time being. They wanted to focus all their efforts on making the current game better.

Among Us also allows players to customize their appearance. Players can equip different hats to make their appearance quirky and fun. Additionally, players can also have a mini crewmate as well.

There are different Among Us Mods also available. For example, one mod allows players to have a lobby of 100 players. Another mode allows crewmates to pass through walls, making them look like hackers.

The recent update also made the game better in terms of functionality and promised to add a new map as well.
<h2>Platforms Among Us is available on</h2>
Among Us is currently available on Steam for PC and is also available on iOS and Android. The game also has cross platform play enabled for players to enjoy with their friends on different platforms.

<h2>Among Us 2021: Mods, Gameplay, Updates, System Requirements</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-542466" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210207052524/egs-amongus-innersloth-s6-1200x1600-675403712.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="1200" />

Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by InnerSloth. The game takes place in a space-themed setting. Players either assume the role of Crewmates or Impostors. While most of them are Crewmates, only a predetermined number are Impostors.
<h2>Among Us Development &amp; Release</h2>
The developers initially intended to release Among Us as a mobile-only local multiplayer game featuring a single map. The game underwent a release on June 15, 2018.  With a simultaneous player count of 30-50 players shortly after release, the game didn't have a massively successful launch.

Although the numbers seemed insignificant, the player base was vocal. The development team didn't give up and continued working on it. They added online multiplayer, new tasks, and customization options. Later on November 16, 2018, InnerSloth launch Among Us on Steam.

Eventually, the game received a second map and then a third, which initially required additional payment. However, in June 2020, the maps were made accessible for free. The map packs are still available for purchase as DLC on all platforms, but those provide access to the skin bundles instead of the maps.

The team kept putting out regular updates for what game, which ultimately resulted in snowballing the game's player base, contributing to a steady increase in player count.
<h2>Rise to popularity</h2>
Despite releasing in 2018, it was not until mid-2020 when Among Us first witnessed a surge of popularity. This was because of the content creators and streamers who began playing the game on their live streaming platforms.

Since July 2020, numerous prominent Twitch streamers and YouTubers, including Sodapoppin, xQc, Pokimane, Shroud, Ninja, PewDiePie, and many others, gradually began spending a lot of time streaming the game. Among Us also provided an avenue for socialization amidst the strict social distancing orders imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The game's popularity continued to skyrocket in the following months. In September 2020, the game exceeded 100 million downloads, with the player count spiraling to 1.5 million concurrent players. Furthermore, in late September, this number peaked at 3.8 million players, which ended up overloading the game's servers.

The game's popularity has inspired many fan arts and hilarious internet memes. In response to the game's popularity, the studio announced a sequel dubbed Among Us 2 in August 2020. However, in September, the team ruled out the sequel due to the popularity the original game had amassed. Instead, they shifted their focus to improving the original game and add more content to it.
<h2>Among Us Gameplay</h2>
The multiplayer game supports 4-10 players, who can play online or via local WiFi, as they prepare their spaceship for departure. However, one must always keep their guard high as one or more random players amongst the Crew are Impostors bent on killing everyone and sabotaging the spaceship.

Originally created as a party game, it's recommended to play this game with friends at a LAN party or online using voice chat. The game also facilitates cross-platform play between Android, iOS, and PC.

Players have customization options like picking a color and hat for their avatar. Other options for game settings include adding more impostors, tasks, and much more. The game also features rich Discord integration for comms, as well as an in-game text chat.
<h5>Crewmates</h5>
Crewmates' objective is to fill up the group taskbar or discover the Impostor. Crewmates can win by completing tasks to prepare the ship or ejecting all Impostors. To undo the Impostor's sabotages, one has to react quickly.

Checking the Admin map and Security cameras are effective ways to keep tabs on other Crewmates. Report any dead bodies immediately to start a discussion of who the suspected Impostor is. Besides that, Call emergency meetings to discuss suspicious behavior—finally, vote to eject suspected Impostors.
<h5>Impostors</h5>
Impostors aim to kill off the entire crew. They will kill crewmates and frame innocent bystanders for their deeds. Impostors can pretend to run tasks to blend in with the crewmates. Moreover, sneaking through the vents is a quick way to navigate the spaceship.

Using sabotages is an effective way to create chaos and divide the crew. Last but not least, Impostors can trap and kill victims in private behind closed doors.
