Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Why Among Us Console Versions Make Game Updates Harder

Why Among Us Console Versions Make Game Updates Harder

Among Us developer InnerSloth has revealed game updates will take longer to make because the game is now on consoles, like the Nintendo Switch.

Why Among Us Console Versions Make Game Updates Harder

Among Us went from an unknown game to an indie sensation in a matter of months. Its stunning rise to the top has led developer InnerSloth to port Among Us to various consoles, including Xbox and Nintendo Switch. This has made it available to even more people worldwide, but its expansion to other platforms has also hampered how quickly InnerSloth can push critical updates and patches.

Among Us was once only available on PC and mobile platforms. After it attracted one of Twitch's most influential streamers and, subsequently, the world, InnerSloth went to work to bring its interstellar party game to consoles. The studio recently revealed this long-awaited arrival on other gaming systems will slow down game updates across the board.

Previously, InnerSloth could push out quick updates to patch Among Us glitches and ship new content in a matter of days. Now, the team has to communicate with multiple third parties and navigate more red tape to alter the game on every platform where it's available. This will result in slower Among Us updates and revisions in the future.

Why Among Us' Console Versions Slow Down Its Updates

Why Among Us Console Versions Make Game Updates Harder

Now that Among Us is on the Nintendo eShop and Xbox devices, InnerSloth explained in a blog post, the developer needs to submit its code changes to Nintendo and Microsoft before they go live. InnerSloth didn't mention how long each approval process usually takes, but the platforms likely have differing average timeframes for update approvals, and the release of major additions needs to wait until changes are approved by every platform.

In fact, Among Us' Airship map update was delayed because InnerSloth wanted to release Among Us on Switch first. This caused the team to "hard [stop]" Airship's development to get the port out the door. That likely won't be the last time new content is halted for platform port approvals, either.

InnerSloth warned fans that the era of "[putting] out an update in two days" has come to an end. Patches will likely take weeks to roll out to all platforms, and that timeline could be extended, as the developer will eventually get Among Us on the PlayStation Store. The social-deduction game has earned a rightful place beside AAA games, but that means it will be subject to the same rules and regulations that govern those console titles.

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus Among Us' hats can say a lot about the player that wears them and may influence who dies first. Here's every hat in the game ranked from cute to sus. One of the best ways to appear innocent in Among Us is by dressing for the occasion. While judging someone by their appearance is superficial, it could also be a player's saving grace. This graph will examine every hat in Among Us and rank them according to how cute, boring, silly, and sus they are. In a social deduction game like Among Us, players usually don't have a lot to go off outside of appearances. This becomes even more true for players who primarily play in public lobbies where voice chat isn't an option. A player could be given the benefit of the doubt immediately depending on how they choose to dress. While dressing cute could help an innocent crewmate stay out of the spotlight, it can also allow the Impostor to prey on the unassuming minds of their vic...

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...
