Among Us is moving from a 2D to a first-person, 3D experience that places players in the heart of the Skeld and retains the core mechanics fans love.

You’re used to navigating Among Us in 2D, but what if you could BE the Crewmate? See life on the Skeld through the Crewmate’s eyes visor? 

Among Us VR is a party game of teamwork and betrayal.

Grab your crew and headset and launch into the VR version of this hit multiplayer game for 4 - 10 players. Work together in this virtual spaceship to complete tasks before one or more Impostors kill everyone aboard.

Built exclusively for VR, you will enjoy all the same gameplay as the original game, but now in an extremely immersive environment where everything (yup, everything!) is close up and personal.

This new 3D experience will place you and our suspicious spacebeans in the heart of the Skeld, with all of the core mechanics of teamwork and betrayal you know and love. The VR edition will continue to support the multiplayer experience too, of course! Now you can really have an emergency meeting together.

VR version won’t be compatible with the original Among Us game, so you’ll only be able to play against other VR beans.


Innersloth, Schell Games, and Robot Teddy announced that Among Us VR will launch on  November 10, 2022, for $9.99 USD on the Meta Quest, Rift, and Steam stores.

Players can now pre-order the game on the Meta Quest store and unlock a Mini Crewmate hat pre-order bonus that will be available when the game launches.

Among Us VR will launch just in time for the holidays, and we can’t wait to hear how family and friends band together and betray each other as they complete tasks aboard the Skeld II,” said Victoria Tran, Community Director for Innersloth. “The VR version of Among Us remains true to the spirit of the original game while also giving players an all new way to experience the chaos and thrill of accusing your friends of murder!”

“We’ve worked on a lot of different projects, but working with Innersloth and Robot Teddy to bring Among Us to VR platforms was fulfilling in many ways ,” said Schell Games CEO Jesse Schell. “Together, we created something that will delight the existing Among Us community, create new fans who will experience Among Us for the first time in headset, or entice supporters of the original game to try VR for the first time. Let the emergency meetings commence!” 

“Among Us brought together close communities and complete strangers during a collectively unusual and difficult time. Among Us VR lets players embody that intensity and liveliness,” said Ranjani Natarajan, Director of Robot Teddy. “Who doesn’t want to roleplay hilarity, intrigue and some juicy backstabbery in virtual reality over the holidays?”
