Among Us News

Among Us is out on Xbox and PlayStation, and there's cross-play with PC

There's a patch out today for the hit social deduction game Among Us, but the big news is that Among Us is now out on Xbox and PlayStation, which in turn means that thanks to the magic of cross-play, you can now play Among Us with your console-owning pals.

Developer Innersloth hasn't published new patch notes for the update, which weighs in at around 147 MB on Steam. But with today's launch of the Xbox and PlayStation versions of Among Us, both of which support cross-play, it's sensible to assume the existing versions needed some adjustments to make linking up with players on newly added platforms possible.

The last major patch for Among Us landed last month, and it introduced two new crew roles, the Engineer and Scientist, as well as a new shapeshifter role for imposters. That patch also added Among Us' new cosmetics shop and 'Cosmicube' system, which lets players buy or earn sets of unlockable cosmetic items to customise their crewmember's look.

The Among Us x Arcane Cosmicube!

Crewmates!

Dress up and play as your favorite Arcane character in Among Us’ first ever Cosmicube partnership, out now on all platforms through December 31, 2021!

We’re so excited to have worked with Riot for an official collaboration to celebrate the launch of their first animated series, Arcane! You’ll see some fan favorite champions, hats, and skins from the League of Legends franchise, including Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Caitlyn. Oh! And Heimerdinger’s absolutely adorable Poro pet. Check out the full list of cosmetics in the game!

Much like your ability to survive as a Crewmate, all good things must come to an end. The Arcane Cosmicube will only be available from now through Dec 31, 2021 before it disappears from our store. However, once you purchase the Cosmicube, the ability to unlock the cosmetics and items inside it will be yours forever.

All cosmetics are purely visual and do not have any effect on gameplay or gameplay options! This is purely for your eyeballs (or visor?) to enjoy. Don’t forget to activate the Cosmicube once you redeem it in order to start earning Pods to unlock the contents. You can activate the Cosmicube via the Crewmate button on the front page, or in the game lobby. You can purchase the Cosmicube on the Store by pressing the "$" sign in the game.

The fact we’re partnering with Arcane is wildly exciting for us, and we hope you love all the cosmetics in the game. Not bad for our first-ever collaboration, huh? There’s a ton to get hyped for in the future.

Can’t wait to see all those Poro pets running around!

Cheers,

Victoria

Among Us is definitely getting a League of Legends Arcane crossover

November 10, 2021 Innersloth has officially announced the arrival of League of Legends champion cosmetics in the Among Us in-game store.

Riot Games is teasing a crossover between League of Legends and Among Us. The developer's new RiotX Arcane Progress Days trailer features a shot of some Among Us crewmates tootling around in LoL-inspired duds. One crewmate we see is dressed as an enforcer from the Arcane show's Piltover city, while the other looks like League of League's inventor Heimerdinger.

If you've been out of the loop, Riot has been celebrating the launch of the Arcane Netflix show with various crossovers with games like Fortnite and PUBG alongside in-game events for League of Legends. Progress Days is the next one, and it's themed around an in-show holiday that sees the people of Piltover celebrate all things tech.

Today, Innersloth tweeted confirmation of the crossover, showing an Enforcer and 'Heimer' crewmembers near the cockpit, wearing champion-inspired visors and other knickknacks. The cosmetics will be available via the Arcade Cosmicube, which is due out November 12.

Among Us has added new player roles in a big update

Compared to many of the tabletop social deduction games which inspired it, Among Us is fairly straightforward. Goodies, baddies, and that's it. Well, last night it took a step towards its roots with the addition of four new roles which can change how you play your character—and how you need to think about other people's characters. Say hullo to the Scientist, the Engineer, the Guardian Angel, and the Shapeshifter.
