How to Play Among Us Free on PC

Among Us is one of the surprise hits of 2020, a feat that is even more surprising considering that Innersloth released this game in late 2018. Due to a mix of known streamers playing the game and word of mouth, it became widely popular and is now one of the most played games on Steam. A clever online game of teamwork and deception, it is extremely fun in its simple yet deep approach to party gameplay, with plenty of sus and color naming. It is available on PC, Android, and iOS, but it is only available for free on mobile devices, so here's how to play Among Us for free on PC as well.

Download and Play Among Us for Free on PC

Before we begin this guide, let us clarify that this is a completely legal method. Due to the proliferation of Android emulators on PC, you can play most mobile games using your desktop computer, usually experiencing a more enjoyable and comfortable gameplay. Using the keyboard and mouse combo or even a gamepad, playing games via emulator is something that even the most ferocious mobile gamers are turning to.

If you don't feel like paying the $4.99 or €3.99 that Among Us costs on Steam, there is an alternative to play the game on PC. While you will in fact be playing the free mobile version, it is the same experience and comes with the comfort of your large screen and better controls.

So, here is how you can play Among Us on PC for free:

Your first step will be to download a reliable Android emulator. Our suggestion is for you to go for Bluestacks, one of the best Android emulators for PC. Install the emulator and launch it.

Using the emulator, you can either search for Among Us in the included app center or open a browser window to go to the Play Store. After finding the Among Us page, press install and let the process finish. When the game has finished installing, you can run it and enjoy a completely free Among Us on PC, with the added bonus of playing with your friends on Android and iOS since it is cross-platform.

Besides, the huge player base guarantees that you'll always find a match in less than a minute, ensuring lots of deception and stealth kills.

In Among Us, each match has between four and 10 players and there can be up to three impostors on the space ship. The goal of the impostors is to kill everyone else, while the crewmates must complete several tasks or call an emergency meeting to unmask the impostors and vote them out of the ship.

Initially, only the Skeld map was available for free, but by July 2020, developer Innersloth decided to make the other two DLC maps, Mira HQ and Polus free as well. They also added several new free hats so that even free Among Us players could add a little diversity to their astronauts.

Among Us 2 was in development for a while, but since the first game's popularity blew up, the devs decided instead to focus on improving it. So, Among Us 2 was canceled and all the content that was planned for the sequel is now going into the original Among Us. Another reason for you to enjoy this game, since it is definitely here to stay.
