Among US VR, developed by Innersloth, Schell Games, and Robot Teddy, has launched for PS VR2 and can be purchased on the PlayStation Store for $9.99. Building on the mechanical core of the base experience, the VR version also adds several virtual reality-specific features, including new minigames, cross-platform support across all VR devices that it’s available on, single and two-handed locomotion options, and more.

In January this year, a little over two months on from its launch, Innersloth announced that Among Us VR had sold over 1 million units worldwide.

The Destiny 2 cosmetics bundle, dubbed the Guardian Cosmicube, includes Guardian outfits, a Starhorse hat, and different creatures from Destiny 2 that can follow you around like pets, such as a Ghost, a Pouka, or a Hive worm. The Guardian Cosmicube will only be available to purchase until May 30.

Alongside the collaboration with Destiny 2, Among Us has also gotten other features in its latest update, including improvements to the game’s UI, an overhaul of the announcement screen, and revamped interfaces for smaller aspects like the petting action icon.

Destiny 2 recently got its Lightfall expansion, alongside the launch of a new season, titled Season of Defiance. It is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. For more details, check out the Season of Defiance trailer, and the final trailer before Destiny 2: Lightfall‘s launch from earlier this week.

The tweet making the tease also features an image that further implies a Destiny 2 crossover, with the words “Eyes up, crewmate”, mimicking Destiny 2‘s Zavala saying “Eyes up, Guardian” at various points throughout the game.

Destiny 2 is currently getting ready for the release of its next major expansion. Dubbed Lightfall, the expansion will have players face off against the forces of Darkness on a new location, called Neomuna. The expansion is taking quite a few cues from classic cyberpunk imagery, along with a bright colour palette that seems to be inspired by the synthwave genre.

Destiny 2: Lightfall is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 28. As expansions typically do, Lightfall will bring with it a new campaign, as well as new multiplayer activities, and a new raid, as well as its flagship feature—the Strand subclass for all three classes.

According to the announcement, since the November 10 release of Among Us VR, it has been played over 4 million times, with an average of 44,000 matches played daily. The game is also featuring a playerbase from all over the world, representing 112 different countries, and all in all, 89 million minutes have been dedicated to the game’s various tasks, sabotages and betrayals.

Among Us VR was first unveiled in April 2022. The game, available on Steam, as well as the Meta Quest and Rift stores, maintains much of the same gameplay that Among Us is famous for.

Players are put on a spaceship with various tasks laid out for them to complete. Some players, however, are tasked with sabotaging the rest of the crew while staying hidden.

Among Us VR features voice and text chat, and online play with 4-10 players. It also features cross-play between the various headsets and storefronts.

Following its meteoric rise in 2020 during the pandemic (with around half a billion players in November 2020), Among Us has received several new features. Roles, Cosmicubes, and Cosmetics were added, and there are even ports for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. It also received a VR version for Oculus Rift, Meta Quest 2, and Steam VR.

Stay tuned for more details on its announcement at The Game Awards, which takes place at 4:30 PM PT on December 8th. Final Fantasy 16, Tekken 8, and Crash Bandicoot are confirmed to appear along with 505 Games’ next title. Other titles like Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and more are rumored to appear.

Among Us VR is going to maintain the same gameplay that made the original Among Us popular, having players take on their tasks as one of them tries to sabotage everything. The game will also feature voice and text chat, and online play with 4-10 players.

At launch, the game will include cross-platform multiplayer between Meta’s headsets and the Steam version, single or two-handed locomotion options, options for player comfort and safety, and localisation in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (LATAM), Chinest (traditional and simplified), Japanese, and Korean.

Among Us VR was originally announced earlier this year.

It releases this Holiday season for Meta Quest 2 and Steam VR (which includes HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Valve Index). From the first trailer, it seems that everything about the social deduction party game has carried over pretty well. The Skeld Map becomes much more harrowing now that you have to look around corners, to say nothing about venting in first person.

While no kills were showcased, the awkwardness of discovering a corpse, hitting the big red button to call a meeting and descent into panic is still intact. Stay tuned for more details on a release date. In the meantime, the original game will still be getting updates with more Roles, Cubes and so on being added.

The update comes via a dev blog on the Steam page of the game, sharing information regarding what players can expect from it this year. The dev team made it clear right off the bat that their priority as of now lies in adding the much requested friends list feature and the quality of life improvements the team planned for the game.

The dev blog then breaks down further plans, saying that the quality of life improvements specifically will target UX improvements, as Innersloth has been slowly adapting to the sudden popularity of the game and wants to ensure that aspects of the game flow are not confusing to understand.

Apart from the above, Innersloth also shared some more smaller details in regards to Among Us, such as the game getting a Nendoroid series of figurines (which are available for pre-order), free skins, a one-shot manga, which is slated to release in April of this year, and new merch available to purchase.

Innersloth also revealed that Among Us was the most downloaded game on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in December, taking the #1 spot on both consoles, and that they will reveal more about Among Us VR soon.

Honestly, it seems the game will keep on growing in the future, as it is still one of the most-played online games out there. Here’s hoping Innersloth can keep this momentum going.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales in fourth place has seen a significant increase of 143% from last week’s sales, thanks to the arrival of fresh PS5 stock in the UK. Meanwhile, though this week’s charts haven’t seen any fresh releases, both Among Us and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition did see their physical releases, and debuted at No. 5 and No. 6 respectively. 

You can check out the full top 10 for the week ending December 18 below.

The Cosmicubes add new character customization options like name plates, visor cosmetics, more pets, hats and skins. It’s essentially a branching progression system which rewards new cosmetics based on actions completed (which award Pods). Along with paid and free versions (purchased with Stars and Beans respectively), there will also be more premium sets for items with themes.

There’s also a new XP system which grants multiplier bonuses for Beans and Pods whenever the player levels up. Account Linking and Achievements have also been added while controls have been updated to shift actions like Vent, Sabotage or Special Actions to different keys instead of the main action button.

Among Us is currently available for PC, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch, with Xbox and PlayStation versions out on December 14th.
