2020 has been a rough year for most. However, it has been a blast for the gaming community. The year saw the launch of new consoles by Microsoft [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/xbox-series-x/] and Sony [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/esports/playstation-5/]. Moreover, it also helped games like Among Us and Fall Guys rise up the ladder and become internet trends. Finally, after almost a decade long wait, fans finally got to play Cyberpunk 2077 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/esports/cyberpunk-2077/]. Among Us has constantly been climbing gaming charts since it blasted off for success a couple of months ago. It has already taken over Twitch and YouTube. The game also topped Steam charts as the most purchased title a while ago. Seeing this success, Microsoft has decided to add Among Us to the Xbox Game Pass. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/among_us-1.jpg] The subscription based pass provides access to a variety of games to players with Xbox consoles and Windows PC. Players can play these games free of cost as long as they are subscribed to the pass. Therefore, through an Xbox Wire article [https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/12/10/among-us-coming-soon-to-xbox-game-pass-for-pc/], Microsoft announced that InnerSloth’s Among Us is coming to the Game Pass soon. [https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/GP-Isometric-1920x1080-v02_JPG.jpg?w=1920] AMONG US GETTING A NEW MAP; BIG SUCCESS AT THE GAME AWARDS 2020 Three weeks ago, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/among-us-teases-a-new-map-could-be-unveiled-at-the-game-awards-esports-news/] InnerSloth teased a new map coming to the game. They also announced that they will release further details about the map at The Game Awards. However, the first look revealed that it might be a “Toppat Airship” themed map. The Game Awards 2020 concluded recently. Among Us was a huge success at the event grabbing 2 awards. The game by InnerSloth won the awards for “The Best Mobile Game” and “The Best Multiplayer Game” categories. To add on to this success, they also released a trailer for the upcoming map. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2020-12-11-at-7.53.21-PM.png] The trailer confirmed that this indeed is a “Toppat Airship” map. It also teased some new elements that InnerSloth added to the map as well as unique upcoming feature to the game. Among Us will get the new map update in early 2021. Hopefully, by this time, Microsoft will add the game to the Xbox pass so that many more players with the pass can enjoy the game on PC. Unfortunately, the game still will not be available on consoles. 

Microsoft to add Among Us to the Xbox Game Pass soon for PC users; Game Awards
perfomance as well as new map trailer released.

<h2><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-434146" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/among-us-game-e1601565968912-560x315.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="315" />What type of game is Among Us?</h2>
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.
