Among Us is a deception-based party game that has exploded in popularity in the last couple months. That's partially thanks to streamers broadcasting it over Twitch, but also due to its relative accessibility (with easy crossplay support) and social elements, making it the perfect game to play with friends or family long-distance. You've no doubt had someone in your life asking you to pick up a copy and play with them in the past few months. It only costs $5 on PC, which is a small price for what has quickly become one of the most viral games of the year. But if that's still holding you back, there's a way to play it for free: just pick it up on mobile. However, there are some extra things to be aware of.

　　

Is Among Us Free to Play?

At the moment, Among Us costs $5 to play on PC via Steam or itch.io, but you can play it for free if you have an iOS or Android device. That's right--Among Us is free on mobile! You can download it from either the App Store or Google Play.
