Among Us Coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 Later This Year

Lots of updates are planned for the game in the next months

The critically-acclaimed social deception game Among Us is leaving the confines of the PC platform and taps into new audiences, as developer Innersloth announced the game will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 later this year.

Among Us offers a simple and fun gameplay experience where a group of up to 10 players must identify two impostors among them to win the game. The fine folks at Innersloth explain that the game was initially launched “as a teeny, local, mobile-only game,” but it was lucky enough to be picked by high-profile Twitch streamers who made it famous.

We also get to learn that Among Us is partially based on a game one of the studio's co-founders, Marcus, played as a kid where you'd draw role cards and roam a house aimlessly while another person secretly “killed” players by drawing a finger across their neck.

Just like PC players, PlayStation fans will get access to all four maps at launch, including the Skeld and Airship. And to make things even more exciting, Innersloth revealed that there are lots of updates coming to Among Us in the next months, so PlayStation fans should rest assured they will get the full experience and then some.

"There is a lot we could say about Among Us, but truly the best part has been seeing the community gather around our indie title. From doodles to entire live-action movies and countless streams, we’ve seen a lot of love pouring out for our little space beans. Thank you. We hope we can continue giving back that same energy!"

The one thing we would've like to know is an exact release date, but since we're living unusual times due to COVID-19, we understand that it's hard to offer long-term ETAs. If you can't wait to play Among Us on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, we'll let you know when Innersloth decides to launch their game, so stay tuned for more on this one.
