Teens all over the world have recently been raving about the new game Among Us. The game came out in 2018, but has become very popular recently because many streamers have started to play and many videos are being made about playing the game.

Among Us is a free online multiplayer game that takes place on a spaceship. There are two sides to every game: the crewmates and the imposters. The crewmates have to vote out different suspicious players in hopes to eject the imposters. The imposters, on the other hand, have to go the whole game blending in and killing off different crewmembers while faking tasks. 

The game has four and a half stars out of five in the app store and is the #1 game for action. The game also has over 200 million downloads, according to Game Beat

“It’s a fun pastime to play with big groups of friends and being able to test your detective skills against them as well as deceiving them,” Jason Hernandez, a fan of Among Us, said. 

This is a new type of game that streamers are now playing on Twitch, Youtube, and other platforms. Among Us is a social deduction and party game. The most popular types of games to watch and stream are action, adventure, and sports games. The last two popular games to watch streamers play were Fortnite and Apex Legends. Now Among Us has taken over and almost every streamer has played.

“Its popularity can be attributed to its easy accessibility, streaming platforms like Twitch, and its unique social spin on gameplay,” Zackery Cuevas, author of How Did Among Us Get So Popular, wrote.

Some popular streamers who are playing Among Us are PewDiePie, Corpse Husband, Disguised Toast, Nicks, Formula, Introllsive, Mr. Beast, and Ninja. Even rapper Logic and beauty influencer James Charles posted playing the new game! This shows how this game really is for anyone and everyone. 

“I really like the game because I’m not really much of a pro gamer and Among Us doesn’t really require much skill, which makes it enjoyable to play or watch streams,” Cameryn Saunders, a fan of Among Us, said.
