Among Us Makes Its Debut on Nintendo Switch
Suddenly, a two-year-old game called Among Us is taking the gaming world by storm. The developers’ communication and plans for the future indicate that Among Us is here to stay and not just a passing fad.
During the Nintendo World event on Dec. 15, the game’s developers announced the release of Among Us on Nintendo Switch. This marks the game’s first debut on a console. Switch users can now enjoy the popular mafia-like party game on their favorite gaming platform, in case they haven’t already experienced it on other devices.
Among Us has been one of the most downloaded titles for several consecutive months, and its availability for free on mobile devices has played a significant role in its success. Even players without access to PCs could still connect with their friends through the game’s cross-platform compatibility.
Wondering if Among Us offers cross-play on Nintendo Switch? The answer is yes! Just like on other platforms, the Switch version of Among Us is cross-platform compatible. This means you can enjoy the game while playing with friends who are on PC or mobile devices.
Setting up cross-play on Among Us is a breeze. Simply create a lobby and invite your friends by sharing the room code with them. The room code can be found at the bottom of your screen when you host a room.
If you prefer, your friends can also set up a room and provide you with the room code so you can join from your Switch.
While it’s unclear if InnerSloth, the developer of Among Us, has plans to release the game on more consoles, the Switch version gives hope to fans who are eager to play Among Us on PlayStation or Xbox. Since the developer decided to cancel Among Us 2 and focus on the original game, players can expect more frequent updates and improvements in the future.
