developer of Among Us, "Mobile and PC combined had 3.8M concurrent last weekend. Not downloads (>100M), not daily active (>60M)"

[Arthands]

I believe he says the game has more than 100m downloads and more than 60m daily active users.

So about 3.4 for mobile and .4 for PC.

 

[Nabs]

This game is a beast.

 

[Vex]

Great game that only works when everyone plays their part. The illusion quickly breaks when people throw games or just constantly vote people out until they get the right one.

Had one game where the guy kept calling meetings every chance he could. We could barely move.

Maybe this will get Jack Box to open their eyes on the money their leaving on the table by their current model.

it's really strange that this game has blown up so much. i feel like it barely works when playing with strangers. does everyone have 8 friends ready to go?

but it is a lot of fun if you actually do have a group.

Did streamers heavily boost these numbers or was it extremely popular already?

 

[Vector]

I swear there was a minigame in the latest Jackbox that was exactly like this game (whole impostor alien thing)

the game was done being updated a few months ago, they announced the sequel and then streamers picked it up and it blew up. They cancelled the sequel to focus back on the original.

Its a two years old game

Was there any material of the sequel available? I wonder how it was looking. The current version has a nice 2000's era Newgrounds game feel to it, but I'd love to see it with a little more production behind it.

Which is why you either a) play with friends or b) create a lobby and kick these people out.

I'm also curious how the sequel would have looked, but I think the current look is perfect for the game. Its relatively simple aesthetic style also allows them to add content without spending a lot of dev time, which is a plus.

I just want them to add some alternate to the wiring task, it gets old when you have like three of them. :P

Actually, the Sequel was announced AFTER the game blew up.

The Future of Among Us - Among Us by Innersloth

Hey everyone, PuffballsUnited here! It’s been a very exciting time for us the past few months! We’ve absolutely loved seeing everyone enjoying Among Us! Forte has been working hard to get the serv...

Us devs have had several long discussions about what we want to do with the game. When do we stop working on Among Us 1? What content goes into Among Us 2? The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content. However, seeing how many people are enjoying Among Us 1 really makes us want to be able to support the game and take it to the next level. We have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead put all our focus into improving Among Us 1. All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1. This is probably the more difficult choice because it means going deep into the core code of the game and reworking several parts of it. We have lots of things planned and we're excited to bring new content to everyone as you continue to enjoy playing!

Holy shit, it's a wonder the servers are even working as well as they are.

Yeah, it's Push the Button. It's a social deduction game, but the gameplay between that and Among Us are different. Push the Button has a 15 minute time limit with questions meant to weed out who the alien(s) might be. There's also only one chance to confirm a vote, and if the humans mess up, it's game over.

Among Us is more active, as players can move around, complete tasks, and the imposters can kill other players.
