On which platforms can you play Among Us, and when did each version come out?
Innersloth first published Among Us for mobile on 15 June 2018, as a local-only party game, then expanded it to Windows, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. Steam dates the Windows release to 16 November 2018. Nintendo's US store dates the Switch digital edition to 15 December 2020, marks Nintendo Switch 2 compatibility as Supported, and lists a 1.3 GB download for Switch and Switch 2. PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S launched on 14 December 2021. The Xbox page also covers Windows PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and handheld play, with Xbox Play Anywhere and Smart Delivery. Innersloth's help centre names Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and itch.io. That article lists Mac and Chromebooks among unsupported devices. Apple's US App Store still offers the iOS app on Macs with an M1 chip or later running macOS 11.0, which is Apple's compatibility label rather than an Innersloth support promise. The Wikidata-derived record listed macOS and Chromebook as platforms; Innersloth's own help page is the source to follow for support.
How much does Among Us cost, and what extra spending is there?
The Android and iOS apps are free to download. Innersloth's help centre sets paid versions at 4.99 US dollars. On 29 October 2026 Steam listed the game at 4.99 dollars with no sale shown, and the US Xbox store listed 4.99 dollars plus add-ons. The Epic Games Store page as read showed Star packs, not a numeric base-game price. Cosmetic spending is optional and does not change match rules. Stars are the paid currency: 20 Stars cost 1.99 dollars, 30 Stars 2.99, 50 Stars 4.99, 110 Stars 9.99, and 300 Stars 24.99 on Xbox, PlayStation, and Epic. The US App Store also sells Mini Crewmate Bundle and Hamster Pet Bundle at 2.99 dollars, Polus Map Skins and MIRA HQ Skin Bundle at 1.99 dollars, and Remove All Ads at 1.99 dollars. Beans are earned by finishing online matches and can buy some Cosmicubes. Cosmicube contents then unlock with Pods earned while that cube is active. Google Play lists ads on the Android build.
Can friends on phones, PCs, and consoles join the same Among Us lobby?
Yes. Innersloth states that Among Us is cross-play across mobile, console, and PC, with 4 to 15 player online lobbies. Steam, Epic, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Innersloth's console launch notes all describe that mix. Among Us VR is a separate product and is not compatible with this game. Account linking, which carries cosmetics, Beans, Stars, and experience, works for PC, Android, iOS, and Xbox. Innersloth's linking guide says PlayStation cannot link accounts, and Nintendo Switch linking was still described as in progress on that help article. Online play on PlayStation needs PlayStation Plus and is marked as required on the US store. Xbox console multiplayer needs Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate. Switch online play is tied to a Nintendo Switch Online membership on Nintendo's US page.
What PC hardware does Among Us ask for?
Steam and the Epic Games Store set a low bar. Minimum is Windows 10 32-bit, an Intel i3-4330, 1 GB of RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 4600. Recommended is Windows 10 64-bit, the same Intel i3-4330, 4 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 650. Epic lists 250 MB of storage for both tiers, which is 0.25 GB. Innersloth's buy.among.us page still shows an older minimum of Windows 7 SP1, an SSE2-capable processor, 1 GB of RAM, DirectX 10, and 250 MB of disk space, with no recommended spec and no GPU line. Use the Steam or Epic figures when installing from those stores. The Wikidata-derived record listed extra Windows dates of 18 June 2018 and 17 August 2018; the Steam store page gives 16 November 2018 as the Windows release date.
What age rating does Among Us carry, and what do the boards flag?
The ESRB rates Among Us Everyone 10+ for Fantasy Violence and Mild Blood, with Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. The rating summary describes cartoon kill animations with knives, pistols, and spikes, and a cartoony corpse left for others to find. PEGI rates Among Us – Crewmate Edition PEGI 7 because it features mild, non-realistic cartoon violence. USK rates the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions from 6 years for Comic-Gewalt, meaning comic-style fights in an artificial setting. Google Play shows Everyone 10+ with Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, Users Interact, and Digital Purchases. Apple's US listing uses a 9+ age rating, with infrequent cartoon or fantasy violence, horror/fear themes, and guns or other weapons, plus advertising and messaging. Innersloth's press kit also lists CERO B, AU/NZ PG, and GRAC 15+; those boards' own pages were not used for descriptors here. Children under 13 are placed in Quick-Chat Mode unless a parent changes that in Innersloth's parent portal.
Can you play a full match of Among Us by yourself, and what is in the current update?
A live match needs other people. Innersloth's help centre says there is no single-player campaign, and that the only solo exception is Freeplay, where one player can walk maps, try tasks, switch roles, and see dummy crewmates. Public lobbies exist if you do not have a private group. Xbox still lists Single player among capabilities, which lines up with Freeplay rather than a full Impostor match. PlayStation's US game page states there is no couch multiplayer, because the design assumes players cannot see each other's screens. Local Wi-Fi remains on the publisher pages, and Steam lists LAN PvP and LAN co-op. The Wikidata-derived record listed single-player as a mode; Innersloth's help page is the source for how solo play actually works. Update v19.0.0 is on all platforms and adds the Influencer, a ghost Crewmate role that sends up to 3 random images as clues to a living player. The US App Store build 2026.19.0 is dated 29 September 2026; Google Play showed an 11 September 2026 update when read.

FAQ
Do you need PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass, or Nintendo Switch Online?
PlayStation's US pages say PlayStation Plus is required for online play, and they mark online play as required. Xbox says console online multiplayer needs Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate, and the listing includes the game with those Game Pass tiers for cloud play. Nintendo's US store ties Switch online play to a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Steam, Epic, Android, and iOS pages do not attach those console subscriptions to PC or phone online play.
Does buying cosmetics on one store carry them to another?
Innersloth lets you merge PC, Android, iOS, and Xbox accounts so cosmetics, Beans, Stars, and experience sit in one place. PlayStation cannot link. Nintendo Switch linking was still described as in progress on the merge-accounts help article. A Steam purchase does not grant the iOS app, and the reverse is also true.
Is Among Us supported on Mac or Chromebook?
Innersloth's platform help article lists Mac and Chromebooks among devices it does not currently support. Apple's US App Store still shows the iOS app as compatible with macOS 11.0 or later on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later, at a 1.1 GB size, which is Apple's listing rather than an Innersloth support promise.
Which maps does the Steam page list?
Steam's store page lists four maps: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, Polus, and the Airship. Later official App Store patch notes also name The Fungle in bug-fix lines, so the live game has moved past the four-map blurb still printed on Steam.
Is Among Us VR the same game as Among Us?
Innersloth's cross-play help article says Among Us VR is not compatible with Among Us. Treat VR as a separate product if you are trying to join a standard 4 to 15 player lobby.
Our take
Among Us is built for a group that can talk, vote, and lie for a few short rounds. The free Android and iOS apps are the cheapest way in, with optional Stars and cosmetic bundles. A 4.99 dollar Steam or Xbox purchase is the paid route Innersloth quotes for other platforms. Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate includes the game and covers console online multiplayer; PlayStation Plus and Nintendo Switch Online are extra costs before those consoles can join friends. Cross-play works across phones, PCs, and consoles, with PlayStation locked out of account linking. Check that everyone can use the same lobby size of 4 to 15, and that a child account stays in Quick-Chat if that is what you want.
Best for: Friend groups split across phones, PCs, and consoles; Players who already pay for Xbox Game Pass; Parents comfortable with ESRB E10+ cartoon violence and optional chat.
Not for: Anyone wanting a full single-player campaign; PlayStation players who need cosmetics and currency to carry over from mobile or Xbox; Switch or PlayStation owners who will not pay for that console's online subscription.
Which version: Use Android or iOS if the base game should cost nothing. Use Xbox if Game Pass already covers the household, because the US listing includes Among Us and Play Anywhere for console and PC. Use Steam for a 4.99 dollar Windows copy with LAN options. Budget PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online before expecting those consoles to join the same 4 to 15 player lobby.
