‘Among Us VR’ Brings Virtual Betrayal to Life on November 10th

After a bit of anticipation, Among Us VR is finally almost here. Innersloth, Schell Games, and Robot Teddy have announced that the virtual reality version of the popular betrayal game will launch on November 10th for Meta Quest 2 and Steam. While there’s no word yet on a PlayStation VR version, this release is still a significant development for fans looking for a fresh take on the game.

Just like in the original 2D version, Among Us VR tasks players with identifying impostors before they eliminate the entire crew. However, the shift to a first-person perspective brings a new dynamic to the gameplay. Impostors will have an easier time sneaking around, and players can now use hand gestures to accuse others or defend themselves. If you’ve grown tired of the regular Among Us, this VR adaptation might reignite your interest.

Of course, the game’s success hinges on whether players are still engaged. Among Us saw a surge in popularity during the early days of the pandemic as a fun way to connect with friends. While it still maintains a loyal following, it’s no longer the cultural sensation it once was. Nevertheless, the VR version showcases the potential of immersive gaming, allowing players to socialize with friends while navigating high-stakes virtual scenarios.

An update from Schell Games reveals that Among Us VR will eventually be available for PSVR2, offering even more opportunities for players to experience the game in virtual reality.
