“I hope everyone is ready for all of the chaos and fun that Among Us VR will bring to the table,” said Victoria Tran, Community Director for Innersloth. “Existing fans will feel at home on the Skeld II, and new players (or VR users) can easily pick up the game. Either way, both parties need to practice lying because the first-person perspective makes things so much more intense.”
Developed by Innersloth, Schell Games, and Robot Teddy, Among Us VR presents an immersive 3D experience that places players in the heart of the Skeld II and retains the core mechanics fans love. Complete with voice and text chat capabilities, online play, and additional hats for purchase, Crewmates can play with 4 - 10 players as they wander the spaceship, complete tasks, and keep an eye (or ear) out for the Impostor.
“Existing fans of Among Us know Innersloth added a lot to the game over the years. We’ll be following suit and adding more content to the VR version,” said Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games. “But for now, we’re grateful to everyone who participated in a beta test or playtest to help us fine-tune the game, and we’re thrilled Crewmates across the globe can finally put on their headsets and experience Among Us VR.”
“Among US VR is here just in time for the holidays, the perfect time for players to lie, accuse, deceive, sabotage, and betray their way to victory,” said Sam D’Elia, Head of Account Management at Robot Teddy. “Whether Crewmates play with family, friends, or other fans, we can’t wait to experience the hilarious stories that will emerge aboard the Skeld II.”
Players can now purchase Among Us VR on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Rift, and Steam for $9.99 USD, and the Hat Pack: Crew Favorites for $3.99 USD. Visit the Among Us VR website, join the Discord server, follow the game on Twitter, or view the press kit for more information.
