Among Us is a murder mystery kind of game developed and published by an American game developer InnerSloth on June 15, 2018.
If you look at the trends, there was not much buzz around it for the past two years. But now out of nowhere it suddenly became one of the most popular action based games on the internet.
My YouTube recommendation is also flooded with so many memes related to that game these days.
So what really happened? How did it suddenly became so popular?
Well, initially it all started from Twitch.
A Twitch employee named Pluto recommended this game to a popular twitch streamer Sodapoppin. So he streamed Among Us to his 2.8 million followers on that platform.
Then other popular streamers like Callmecarson or Pokimane also started streaming this game. Because of that millions of people who didn’t know about this game, came to know about it.
But that was not the only reason behind this sudden popularity.
You may already know about the Henry Stickman Collection. Which was quite popular among all the streamers in August. That game was also developed by Innersloth.
So some people discovered Among Us by browsing other games made by the same developer.
The characters of Among Us kind of looks similar to another recently popular game Fall Guys. So out of curiosity many people also started trying it out.
Another reason behind its popularity is this game is easily accessible. It costs only 5$ on steam and completely free on mobile devices. Due to its low graphics it’s playable in any low end devices.
So all those factors combined with the mysterious power of meme culture helped this game gain so much popularity two years after release.
That’s it for this video. Let us know what you think about this game in the comment section below. Thank you so much for watching.
