'Among Us' Comes To PS4, PS5 And Xbox On Dec. 14, Collector's Editions Delayed

by Rainier on Oct. 21, 2021 @ 11:02 a.m. PDT

Among Us is an online and local party game of teamwork and betrayal for 4-10 players...in space!

Join your Crewmates in a multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal!

Play online with 4-15 players as you attempt to hold your spaceship together and return to civilization. But beware – there may be an alien Impostor aboard!

One or more of your Crewmates has been replaced with dangerous shapeshifters – Impostors. Their goal is to eliminate the rest of the crew before the ship reaches home. The Impostors will sabotage the ship, sneak through vents, deceive, and frame others to remain anonymous and kill off the crew.

When the game begins, players stay quiet and try to complete their task… until the Impostor strikes! Once a body is reported or someone suspects something, the surviving crew openly debate who could be Impostors and possibly eject a crew member from the game. Meanwhile, the Impostors try to pretend they’re Crewmates and confuse everyone! If Impostors remain after the crew votes, everyone goes back to maintaining the ship until another body is found. If all Impostors are eliminated or the Crewmates complete all their tasks, the crew wins!

Among Us is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One with Xbox Game Pass on December 14, 2021.

Maximum Games, Innersloth, and Dual Wield Studio revealed that the three previously announced Among Us Collector’s Editions will be launching in North America early next year, with the Crewmate Edition hitting various international territories in December.

The Crewmate Edition ($29.99 USD) will be sabotaging shelves in the UK and Europe on December 14, with a Japanese and South Korean release following shortly on December 16. The US, Canadian and Latin American release will follow on January 11, 2022.

The Impostor Edition ($49.99 USD) and Ejected Edition ($89.99 USD) will be launching later in Spring 2022 across multiple territories. Someone keeps turning the lights off in the warehouse, but everything is probably fine. Was anyone watching the cameras? Pre-order your preferred Collector’s Edition through the Maximum Games store here.

You don’t want to be the only suspicious looking one in the crew, do you?
