For those of you who haven't played Among Us and don't know what the game that makes the community fall in love with is like, the mechanics are simple: players play the colorful crew of a spaceship. Among them is an impostor, who will have to sabotage the missions of his companions and assassinate them one by one.
And if the other players discover a corpse, they can press a red button that will start a voting process: this is when the traitor must be voted on. The player who collects the most votes will be expelled from the ship. If it is the impostor, we will have won the game, but if it was a crewmate, then you will have lost another score.
The game is free to download on Android and iOS devices and has a paid version that costs ₹ 529 on the PC via Steam.
The figures released include Steam players as well as those on the mobile version. It is worth mentioning that the downloads come, for the most part, from Android and iOS. According to programmer Forest Willard, Among Us has recently surpassed the mark of 60 million daily active users.
