Among Us registered 500 million players in November

Among Us is headed towards becoming the most popular mobile game as it just posted a record month. According to Nielsen's SuperData, around 500 million people played Among Us in November. This makes Among Us the most popular game in terms of monthly players.

This is quite an achievement for Among Us, a multiplayer mobile game that went viral this year during the pandemic. Carter Rogers, the Principal Analyst at SuperData, told The Verge that the previous game reached the highest monthly player mark at 300 million, which is 200 million less than what Among Us achieved. Most of the Among Us players are also on Among Us at just 3% of the PC version, the report adds. Recently Among Us was released on Nintendo Switch, and it is confirmed to be released for Xbox next year. It has been available on Android, iOS, and Windows PC.

According to data from Sensor Tower, Among Us was also the most downloaded game globally in November. Among Us topped downloads on both the Google Play Store and the App Store. The latest feat also comes shortly after Among Us claimed Best Multiplayer and Mobile Games at The Game Awards 2020.

Innersloth is now working on a new map for Among Us. Called "The Airship", it will be the most extensive map among us, bringing new tasks, stairs and elevators for players to move from one place to another. The Airship in Among Us will also allow players to continue from different locations after emergency meetings. This will be the fourth map in Among Us after The Skeld, Polus, and Mira HQ. It is scheduled for a launch in early 2021.
