Nearly half a billion users played Among Us in November

..

With roughly half a billion people reportedly province it in November, Among Us has had the most narration players for a motile gutsy ever, blitz giants like Pokemon GO and Candy Collection Saga. Co-ordinate to Nielsen's SuperData, the gutsy is "by far the most popular gutsy unendingly in try-on of narration players."

The success is uptown more remarkable because InnerSloth -- the visitor that makes Among Us -- only has four employees. That's almost 125 million players per person who works on the game. It's proven to be so popular that the studio decided to cancel a sidebar that was in the works and just put all its effort into improving the original. It uptown unarmed the circumspection of sitting congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who livestreamed herself province it to try to encourage bodies to vote, with an devotees on Whelm that peaked at over 400 thousand viewers.

In an email to The Verge, Carter Rogers, Scaffold Annotator at SuperData, said that the next-most popular gutsy in try-on of narration console users only clocked in at 300 million.

To put that number in perspective, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most immersed AAA gutsy launches we've self-evident in a unfurled time, and it sold 13 million copies this month.

Of course, there's a large stair difference between the headliner (Among Us is self-governing on mobile, and $5 on PC), morally it shows that the devotees for motile headliner is numerous larger than other platforms. InnerSloth is working to ensure that Among Us has some staying power by standing to add new gut-busting to it, like the Bilge map with new tasks that's here boosted prevenient next year.
