Among us just launched on Nintendo Switch in December, but the game has already received a very significant discount on the platform! From now until February 28, the game will be available for just $ 3.50, below the normal price of $ 4.99. Discounts are very common on the Nintendo Switch eShop, but it’s still surprising to see a title as big as Among us discounted so quickly, making the sale quite remarkable. The game has become one of the biggest surprise hits of 2020, so there has never been a better time for Nintendo fans to see what all the fuss is about!
While Among us was only available on the Switch at the end of last year, the game has been available on other platforms since 2018. The game has failed to find a large audience for some time, but Among us found a significantly increased audience after Twitch streamers discovered it. The developer InnerSloth was thinking of creating a sequence for Among us, but plans changed after the game’s recent success. Instead, new features for the sequel will now arrive in the current game, including support for multiple languages and the addition of new content, such as the long-awaited airship map.
Interested in buying Among us on Switch should keep in mind that the game requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, unlike some other third-party titles, such as Fifteen days. This can turn off potential buyers who have not yet signed up for the Switch’s online service, as it makes it significantly more expensive than other versions of the game, even at a discount (the service costs $ 19.99 for a year). However, those who already subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online will be able to play in both portable and docked modes, so there are some benefits in the Switch version. The release of the Switch is also capable of cross-play with other versions of the game.
Among us is currently available for iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch and PC. An Xbox version of the game is expected to be released later this year. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game here.
