The developers from InnerSloth told about the new achievement of their hit Among Us. During the week of the free distribution of the title in the Epic Games Store, the game was downloaded by 15 million people.

The distribution Among Us has become one of the largest for the entire time of the Epic Games Store. For comparison, Star Wars Battlefront II scored 19 million downloads during the free giveaway, Remnant: From the Ashes — 10 million downloads, and World War Z — 9.9 million downloads.

Recall that at the beginning of the month, the community director of the studio Victoria Tran (Victoria Tran) reported that against the background of this distribution, the PC version of Among Us has increased the number of daily active players. Two days after the launch of the promotion, on May 29, the DAU of the game jumped six times — from 280 thousand to two million users.

Among Us is a Mafia—style game, the events of which unfold on board a spaceship. Players take on the role of crew members and try to repair this ship in order to return home. That’s just some of the players are traitors who are trying to kill everyone.

The release of Among Us took place in the summer of 2018. Until the fall of 2020, the game remained almost unnoticed. For example, in 2019, the peak online project reached only a few hundred people. However, on September 5, 2020, online Among Us on all platforms reached 1.5 million people, and by November downloads of one mobile version exceeded 200 million.

Now Among Us is available on PC, mobile (Android and iOS) and Nintendo Switch. Later, the title will also appear on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
