Among Us is surprise releasing for Nintendo Switch today, which is good news for Switch users. It's also good news for us: the port supports crossplay with the PC and smartphone versions of the game, so it's now possible to play with a wider net of friends. If you happen to be a Switch owner yourself, the game is $5 / AU$6.45.

It's been a very big year for Among Us, which originally released on Steam in 2018 to relative obscurity. Throughout 2020 the game was rapidly and randomly adopted by high-profile streamers, which has culminated in some very high profile people playing the game.

More recently, December has been a big one: a new map, in the form of The Airship, was showcased at the Game Awards last week, and it's coming to the game in early 2021.
