Among Us, Monster Train and more hit Xbox Game Pass for PC

Yesterday, Xbox Game Pass for PC got a couple of tasty additions to it’s already very good lineup of games. Everyone’s favourite new smash-hit murder ’em up Among Us has joined the party, along with RPS faves Monster Train and Wilmot’s Warehouse.

There’s a bunch more too, including The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan. Plenty to keep us all busy over the winter holidays then. (Or rather, plenty to distract me from playing the two giant new RPGs I don’t think I’ll ever finish.)

You can now play Among Us with your Switch-owning friends

Multiplayer imposter-hunting game Among Us now has a Nintendo Switch version, I say on this here PC gaming website. What’s that matter to you lot? Well, it’s got cross-platform multiplayer so you PC-owning folks can play with your Switch-having pals. It’s a nice pre-holiday surprise for those of us wondering what we can pick up to share with our friends while we stay separated through the winter.

Among Us on Switch has cross-play with PC and mobile versions

Among Us is great, but that greatness depends on your ability to get a big collection of friends together to play it. Now, that process will be even easier. Among Us hits Nintendo's hybrid portable machine today, and the developers have confirmed that the Switch port will feature cross-play with all the existing versions.

You can grab Among Us from the Nintendo eShop for $5.00 / £3.89 - either very slightly cheaper or more expensive than the $4.99 / £3.99 price on Steam, depending on your region. (As ever, the iOS and Android versions are free.) The Switch version does have an additional cost, however, as you will need to be subscribed to Nintendo's online service to play over the internet.

If, somehow, there's somebody in your friend group who doesn't have a smartphone or a Steam account and does have a Switch, you can finally murder them. ...in the game, to be clear. Among Us is continuing to expand to new venues, and it's coming soon to Xbox Game Pass PC, too.

Among Us' new map is a giant red airship

What happens when you take The Beatles' yellow submarine, slap a fresh red coat of paint onto it, and launch it into the air? Well, according to InnerSloth, you get a brand spanking new Among Us map. Its name? The Airship.

Following its reveal at The Game Awards last night (December 10), the game's official Twitter account posted the trailer of the new map, which is set to release in early 2021. The final reveal follows months of teasing by the developers, with a picture of The Airship's cockpit being dropped last month.

The teaser opens with the emergence of the Toppat airship from the clouds. Inside, we are introduced to the map's major areas: Brig, Cockpit, Electrical, Engine Room, Gap Room, Kitchen - where one unfortunate soul is blasted with an eye laser by a mousachioed impostor - Main Hall, Medical, Meeting Room, Records, Security, Vault, and the Viewing Deck. When each round starts, players will be able to choose an area to start in after a meeting (in this instance either Engine Room, Records, or the Main Hall).
