Between Us was itself one of the big surprises of 2020. Although it was originally released in 2018, the coincidence that it was played by several successful streamers in 2020 contributed to the fact that we are talking about a year in which we spent more time without leaving the house (a few months due to confinement and the rest due to prudence) and socialization.on the internet made it suddenly, almost two years ago, the sensation of the moment and everyone wanted to play it.
It’s true that despite the efforts of its developers, the small indie studio Innersloth, to retain as many users as possible after the impressive September surge their numbers began to decline until they found their new land, which we can rate at roughly 10,000 players per day. It’s nothing like the nearly half a million a day it was nearing in September 2020, but it’s more than a substantial amount compared to the 200 to 500 before the boom.
Moreover, and this is rather interesting, we see that the number of players has remained relatively stable recentlyand that a relevant part of them are streamers, which means that even today the number of viewers that Mezi Nami streams on Twitch add up to can approach, and in some cases even exceed, 100,000 per day.
So Innersloth has continued to work on Among Us ever since, nurturing a community of players who remain active and perhaps waiting for a new boom to bring joy to their numbers, as evidenced by the game’s regular updates. The latest news in this regard, and which they have been working on for some time, is the VR version of the game. And the good news is that as we can read in Yahoo! Finance, The beta has already been opened for users to try the VR version of Among Us,
As we could already imagine, in this VR version of Among Us we changed the third person isometric view to first person mode, which is a very interesting change in game dynamics, because this way we won’t see if someone is following us. Nearby voice chat has also been added, removing the need for Discord or text chat, and the ability to point the finger to accuse other players of cheating has also been added.
