Among Us has been one of the most popular multiplayer games of the past few years since its 2018 release, and now VR support has been confirmed by Innersloth. Schell Games is developing the game, which will be launched on several VR platforms. The team behind the VR adaptation of the game is the same team behind the popular I Expect You To Die series.
The VR version of Among Us differs from the third-person and 2D versions of the game that feature the cute little humanoids and have been massively successful, especially during the pandemic. Yet, the game will reportedly remain true to Innersloth’s original gameplay mechanics.
Here is everything you need to know about Among Us VR, including its release date and the VR platforms it will be available on.
Among Us VR Release Date
The game is rumored to be released in 2022, but at this point, there is no indication that the rumors are true. This game did not receive an official release date during the Game Awards 2021. Our fingers are crossed that Schell Games will confirm the exact date soon!
Supported Platforms
The game will initially be released on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR, and SteamVR. As of now, Schell Games is not committed to bringing the VR experience to other platforms. Innersloth announced the game would be coming to VR platforms by saying:
“Surprise, Crewmates!
“You’re used to navigating Among Us in 2D, but what if you could BE the Crewmate? See life on the Skeld through the Crewmate’s eyes visor? Well, as part of The Game Awards, we just announced that Among Us will be coming to virtual reality!
“This new 3D experience will place you and our suspicious spacebeans in the heart of the Skeld, with all of the core mechanics of teamwork and betrayal you know and love.
“The VR edition will continue to support the multiplayer experience too, of course! Now you can really have an emergency meeting together. (Note: VR version won’t be compatible with the original Among Us game, so you’ll only be able to play against other VR beans.)
“Platforms, release dates, and additional information around Among Us VR will be announced at a later date.” One thing is for certain; Among Us it’s coming to VR platforms and it’s coming pretty soon. The hype is real!
