Why is Among Us Free on Mobile but Not on PC?
Last updated
Ever scratched your head wondering why you can play Among Us for free on your phone, but need to open your wallet on your PC? Let’s dive into the answer, shall we?
So, why exactly is Among Us free on mobile devices but costs a few bucks on PC? Stick around to find out!
Among Us Pricing: Mobile vs. PC
Among Us developers, Innersloth, decided to make the game free on mobile platforms like iOS and Android but charge for the PC version. Why, you ask? It’s all about accessibility and the broad appeal of mobile gaming.
Mobile gaming has a massive audience with varied financial capabilities. By making Among Us free on mobile, Innersloth could reach more players, especially younger audiences who might not have the means to purchase games. Plus, the free mobile version is supported by ads and in-game purchases, like those shiny Stars for cool cosmetics, ensuring the developers still make a profit.
Why Paying on PC Makes Sense
On the flip side, PC gamers are generally more accustomed to paying for games. Charging for Among Us on PC helps Innersloth fund further development and support for the game. The absence of intrusive ads in the PC version offers a smoother, more immersive gameplay experience, which many PC gamers prefer.
Moreover, the paid PC version includes some cosmetic items that mobile players might have to purchase separately. So, it balances out in terms of value for both platforms.
