How To Play Among Us For Free

Initially released as a mobile game in 2018, Among Us has recently taken the gaming community by storm for its addictive gameplay. It currently has millions of concurrent players around the clock, thanks to the popularity among renowned Twitch streamers and YouTubers.
Among Us quickly got so popular in the mainstream media that the indie game developer behind the game, Innersloth, announced a sequel for it back in August. However, it was later canceled so that the team could work on the original game and add new content.
Unlike every other AAA multiplayer game, Among Us is more of a party game because of its ‘social-deduction’ gameplay mechanics. It takes place in a spaceship-themed environment where four to ten players take one of two roles: Crewmates and Imposters. A lobby of ten players can have up to three Imposters, with the rest being Crewmates. Their goal is to identify the Imposters and kick them out of the spaceship via votes, whereas the Imposter’s goal is to sabotage and kill the Crewmates before they finish all of their tasks.
Although Among Us does have an online lobby system, we recommend you to try out the game along with your friends on Discord for the best experience. Whether you can get it for free or not, check out this guide for more information.

Is Among Us a Free-to-Play game?

Among Us is currently available on three platforms: Android, iOS, and Windows. While the game is entirely free-to-play on Android and iOS devices, it will cost you $5 to play on Windows. The game had two paid downloadable maps, which was later made free for all players. However, in-game cosmetic bundles (pets, hats, outfits) are still paid content.
You can buy and download the Windows version of Among Us from either Steam or Itch.io. The Among Us on Android and iOS can be downloaded from the platform’s respective storefronts: Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
One of the best things about Among Us is its crossplay support. It doesn’t matter which platform you and your friends are playing on, anyone of you can host a lobby and share the lobby code with others.
