For the past several years, the multiplayer game Among Us was only available for PC and mobile gamers. Since the game's boost in popularity throughout 2020, developers Innersloth began porting the game for consoles, beginning with the Nintendo Switch. As of December 2021, Among Us has now been transferred to PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Now players can sabotage and betray their crewmates on their television as opposed to their computer.
Of course, it isn't quite as simple as a single set release date. Different regions have different release dates — some have already passed, while others aren't until the near future. Certain players may also get different in-game cosmetics, depending on the console they purchased the game on. Furthermore, physical copies are set to release in early-to-mid 2022. Along with all of the current DLC for the game, these include a ton of collectibles that any Among Us fan will certainly want. Whichever version console players prefer will to vary wildly from gamer to gamer.
6 Release Dates
The first thing most Among Us fans would be eager to know about the console versions is when exactly they can get their hands on them. While some countries have already had access to them for some time, others will have to wait a few weeks.
The first batch of players able to check out Among Us on consoles were those in the UK and Europe, where it was released on December 14th, 2021. It hit Japan and South Korea a few days later on December 16th. Players in the United States, Canada, and Latin America will still have to wait until January 11th, 2022 to try out the new version of the game.
5 Availability
After knowing when they can get it, players will want to know where exactly they can obtain the game to play. Depending on the country, Among Us will be available to download on its release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. This, of course, is in addition to the physical copies mentioned above.
However, players subscribed to Xbox Game Pass will be able to download the game at no extra cost. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for players with PlayStation Plus; there has been no indication of a PlayStation Plus release of Among Us. Fortunately, the game only costs $5.99 on all consoles and will even include crossplay across all versions, including PC. This low cost keeps it accessible to most fans on all platforms.
4 PlayStation Extras
PlayStation players may not be able to download Among Us through PlayStation Plus. However, the PlayStation version includes some extra cosmetics that Xbox players will, unfortunately, miss out on.
Ratchet & Clank fans will be excited to hear that PlayStation players of Among Us will get some Ratchet & Clank-themed aesthetics they can use to personalize their crewmate. Players will receive a skin and hat that will make their crewmate look like Ratchet, as well as a pet Clank.
3 Crewmate Edition
While Among Us is already available (or will be soon) for download on consoles, some fans may want to wait a bit for a physical copy of the game. Three different versions of Among Us will be available physically, the first of which is the Crewmate Edition. Along with the game, the Crewmate Edition includes a ton of extras, including all DLC currently released for the game. There will also be retail-exclusive downloadable content available at launch.
Physical goodies are included with this edition as well. Players will receive a sticker sheet, a 3D lenticular case, a poster for the Skeld map, a redeemable code for 6 phone and PC wallpapers, and 1 of 12 MIRA HQ holographic access cards. The Crewmate Edition costs $29.99 and releases on January 11th, 2022.
2 Impostor Edition

The second physical copy releasing for Among Us is called the Impostor Edition, and it won't release until a few months later. The Impostor Edition will include everything that the Crewmate Edition contains, and much more.
Buyers of the Impostor Edition will receive a Crewmate vs. Impostor Lanyard, a "spinning into space" spinner pin, a limited edition impostor box, and a purple crewmate plushie. The Impostor Edition costs $49.99 and releases on March 31st, 2022.
1 Ejected Edition

The Crewmate and Impostor Editions are both nice, but the Ejected Edition is the ultimate Among Us purchase. Players will get everything in both the Crewmate and Impostor Editions, as well even more added bonuses. This version of the game will also include an Among Us-themed box, a limited-edition steelbook, a beanie, and a fleece blanket.
Since this edition comes with the most content, it's also the most expensive. But if there are any die-hard Among Us fans out there, they'll be eager to get their hands on this edition and all the items it contains. The Ejected Edition costs $89.99 and releases alongside the Impostor Edition on March 31st, 2022.
Among Us is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
