Crewmates work to complete assigned tasks in the game while identifying and voting out suspected Impostors (which appear identical to Crewmates) by means of social deduction, while Impostors have the objective of killing the Crewmates. Each player takes on one of two roles: most are Crewmates, but a small number play Impostors. A virtual reality adaptation, Among Us VR, was released on November 10, 2022.Īmong Us takes place in space-themed settings where players are colorful armless cartoon astronauts.

The game was ported to the Nintendo Switch in December 2020 and on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in December 2021. The game allows for cross-platform play, released on iOS and Android devices in June 2018 and on Windows later that year in November. The game was inspired by the party game Mafia and the science fiction horror film The Thing.
