Yes, 'Among Us' is a cross-platform game

"Among Us" is a multiplayer game available for Android and iOS mobile devices, Windows computers, and the Nintendo Switch. And unlike some other games that can be played on multiple systems, "Among Us" is fully cross-platform.

To say that a video game is "cross-platform" means that multiple people can play the game together regardless of what platform they're using. Here, for example, it means that "Among Us" players on an iPhone can host or join games with PC or Switch players. As long as you are on the same server and the regional versions of the game don't conflict with each other, you can play together online.

To play "Among Us" across different devices, all players will need to be logged into the same server, which is determined by geographical location: North America, Europe, or Asia. This means that players in North America won't be able to play with friends in Asia or Europe unless they change their location in-game.

How to make a cross-platform 'Among Us' game

Creating an "Among Us" session with your friends is pretty straightforward, no matter what system they have. As noted above, just make sure you're all in the same regional server — something we'll go over below.

  • Launch "Among Us" and log into your account if you have one.
  • Check your regional server on the main menu. It's located in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

  • Select "Create Game" on the main menu.
  • Select the map, number of imposters, chat language, and maximum number of players. When you're finished, select "Confirm."

    When you create a game, you'll have a few different options to choose from. Chrissy Montelli/Insider

  • Your character will appear in an empty game lobby. At the bottom of your screen, you will see a code containing six letters or numbers. Share the code with your friends who you plan to play with.

  • When your friends are ready to play, they must select "Enter Code" on the main menu and then type in the code you gave them. They will also need to be playing on the same regional server as you for the code to work.


    • Once everyone has joined, feel free to start the game. Everyone will get to play, whether on a phone, computer, or console.
