As the indie hit game Among Us turned five this week, the development team at Innersloth announced a new update and a new collaboration to celebrate the anniversary. The update for Among Us brought a few significant changes to the menus and fixed some bugs, while the partnership that was announced was received favorably by social media users.Even though Among Us was originally released in 2018, it remained relatively obscure for the first two years. However, with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, many gamers found themselves stuck at home and finding more time to play games and watch streams of some games. After some content creators caught wind of Among Us, the game took up as sales skyrocketed and more players began to see what the social deduction title was all about. With adorable Crewmates and devious Imposters among the space-bound squad, players that enjoyed games such as Werewolf were enthralled with Among Us as it became one of the most successful indie games to date. With the game turning five, Innersloth marked the occasion with things to celebrate about.With the new content update, Among Us announced a collaboration with Pusheen to bring some cute, cosmetic charm to the game in the form of a new Cosmicube. The Pusheen Cosmicube costs 110 Stars to unlock, which costs $9.99, and will give players a range of accessories and costumes to earn by playing the game. Some of the skins that Among Us players can earn include a Pusheen Pet, a full Pusheen Skin, a Cat Nap hat, and new nameplates. However, the collaboration between Among Us and Pusheen will only last until September 13, 2023.
Along with the collaboration with Pusheen, Among Us players that update the game will notice a new look to the main menu when starting up. The new menu will have a window view to the right side of the screen, with all the same options now on the left. The friend list and player ID will be on the top side of the screen. In addition, players that log into Among Us on June 15 will receive a free cosmetic to mark the game's actual birthday. Innersloth also stated they will celebrate by hosting a stream on its Twitch channel on June 15, starting at 12:00 PM Pacific/3:00 PM Eastern.
Though Pusheen has collaborated with indie titles such as Fall Guys, this is the first time that the adorable cat-themed brand has partnered up with Among Us. While the game celebrates five years on the market, players will have to wait and see what else Innersloth has in store in the future.
Among Us is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
