During a Nintendo Indie World live-streamed presentation yesterday, there were several energizing announcements uncovered, however, the last “something more” uncovered certainly stole the show. Indie developer InnerSloth declared that its multiplayer social derivation title, Among Us, would dispatch on the Nintendo Switch eShop, denoting the first occasion when the game has gone to a console.
Also, fans of the game didn’t need to hold on to play it, as Among Us dispatched shortly after the Indie World showcase, accessible for everybody to purchase for $5, the same cost as its PC version on Steam.
It’s been around 24 hours since the game was released carefully on Nintendo’s storefront and it has just hit the main spot in the Best Sellers section, which is no surprise considering just how massively well-known Among Us is at the present time.
Just this past September, the game figured out how to reach more than 85 million downloads, and that was uniquely for the portable version of the game on iOS and Android devices, which is for nothing out of pocket coincidentally.
Presently, at the hour of composing, Among Us has more than 80,000 viewers on Twitch, following Twitch juggernauts such as League of Legends and Dota 2.
Because the Switch port supports cross-play with PC and versatile players, there’s no uncertainty that Among Us will proceed to develop and turn into a significantly more mainstream independent game. Interestingly, players have discovered a strategy in the Switch port of Among Us that allows them to play the yet-to-be-released Airship map.
