The hit multiplayer experience of Among Us is finally making its way onto the PlayStation platform. Releasing soon on PS4 and PS5, Sony fans will finally get the chance to work together to complete tasks and root out Impostors. Thankfully, PlayStation s won't be waiting long, since Among Us will be releasing on PS4 and PS5 later this year.
Among Us was originally released in 2018 to little commercial success and fanfare. Last year, however, the game rose in popularity and has has become such a pop culture phenomenon that celebrities like Jimmy Fallon are planning sessions on Twitch. Although the game was on PC and mobile for a long time, a Nintendo Switch version released last December and Among Us is announced to be coming to Xbox as well.
The PlayStation version of Among Us will include exclusive Ratchet and Clank skins. Players can spice up their avatars with the famous ears of the titular Lombax Ratchet and adorn themselves with his orange jumpsuit. The ears and suit can be equipped separately, so Ratchet and Clank fans can mix and match with other clothing parts to invent the latest space fashion trends. The release will also come with a Clank pet to make it possible to cosplay as the famous duo. The Ratchet and Clank set are the only Sony-exclusive costumes announced in the PlayStation reveal, but additional costumes have not been ruled out yet.
When Among Us Is Releasing On PS4 & PS5
While an exact release date hasn't be provided, InnerSloth has announced that Among Us will be releasing on PS4 & PS5 sometime in 2021. Given the exclusive Ratchet costume and Clank pet, it's possible Among Us could arrive on PlayStation consoles around the same as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart comes out on PS5, which would be in June. Luckily, the extra time in development will allow for features like the 15 player lobbies to be potentially implemented alongside the console release. The PlayStation version will also feature crossplay, allowing people to play with their friends no matter what platform they're on.
The social deduction game has seen tremendous amounts of success in the past year, and the PlayStation release should help Among Us become an even bigger hit as it widens its audience. PS4 and PS5 s will soon be able to their friends on Switch, PC, and mobile for some deceit-filled gaming sessions. Hopefully, PlayStation fans won't be waiting too long, since this version of the game is expected to release sometime in 2021.
