The popular social deduction game, 'Among Us', is arriving
on Xbox and PlayStation on December 14. It will also launch on Xbox Game Pass
on the same day and be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series S / X, PS4, and PS5
consoles.
According to The Verge, this announcement comes months after
Sony confirmed 'Among Us' was coming to its PlayStation consoles this year.
Just like on other platforms, the game will support crossplay and online
multiplayer across mobile, PC, and now consoles.
The only difference between the two console versions is
PlayStation players will get access to exclusive Ratchet and Clank-themed
cosmetics. There's a skin and hat to make your character look like Ratchet and
a pet that looks like Clank.
'Among Us' was a huge hit during the early stages of the
pandemic, becoming 2020's most downloaded mobile game. Innersloth has been
gradually improving the game over the past year, revealing plans to add a hide
and seek mode, visor cosmetics, and a fifth map earlier this year.
As per The Verge, physical editions of the game will also be
arriving in Europe on December 14, with a US release due in January.
