Thanks to the distribution in the Epic Games Store, the number of daily PC players in Among Us has increased sixfold

Sensational last year Among Us continues to attract millions of gamers. Against the background of the free distribution in the Epic Games Store (EGS), the PC version of the game began to be launched daily by two million people. This is almost six times more than usual.

Statistics were shared by Victoria Tran, community director of InnerSloth.

Tran said that on weekdays the DAU of the PC version Among Us is kept at the level of 280 thousand players, and by the weekend it reaches 350 thousand players. But after the start of the distribution of the title in EGS on May 27, this indicator began to grow sharply. Already on the premiere day, the number of daily active users exceeded one million people, and on May 29 it grew to two million people.

Tran noted that the charts show not only new players. Some of them played Among Us on other platforms, but decided to try it on PC as well.

Also, the surge in audience was partially influenced by the long weekend in the USA. The fact is that on May 31, Americans celebrated Memorial Day.

The distribution of Among Us in EGS will end on the evening of June 3.

Recall that the release of Among Us took place in the summer of 2018 on Android and iOS. It is now also available on the Nintendo Switch. PlayStation and Xbox versions should be released later.
