Among Us surpasses 500M mobile downloads since launch

Innersloth’s Among Us has now surpassed 500 million downloads on mobile game stores, almost five years after it originally launched there. Data.ai released a new report alongside the milestone charting the progress of the game from “obscure mobile title” to a staple of everyone’s games library.

While it’s now playable on PC and console, Among Us originally launched on the App Store and Google Play in 2018. Data.ai’s charts show that Among Us didn’t really start to take off until the third and fourth quarters of 2020. It set records in Q4 2020 with 230 million worldwide downloads on mobile. Among Us was a popular social game during the pandemic, offering players the ability to connect with and enjoy time with their friends despite the necessity of social distancing.
