Get ready to deduce from a new perspective: Innersloth, the developer behind the popular multiplayer game Among Us, has announced Among Us 3D, a new version of the game that brings a first-person perspective to the table.

This new release is essentially the VR version of the game, but without the need for a headset. The VR version, which launched in 2022, will be rebranded, and the new Among Us 3D will unite players across both PC and VR through cross-play. This means that Steam PC users will be able to join cross-platform lobbies with VR players on Meta Quest, Steam VR, PlayStation VR 2, and PICO.

The studio has not yet revealed a specific launch date for Among Us 3D, but it's coming soon to Steam, with a demo available as part of Steam Next Fest on Monday. It's worth noting that the original 2D version of Among Us will still exist, but there will be no cross-play between it and the first-person edition.

In addition to the new gameplay perspective, Innersloth has also introduced a new in-game currency called "stardust," which will be used to buy cosmetics in Among Us 3D. The studio has clarified that the currency won't be used for purchasing any actual game modes or features.

The announcement marks a significant expansion of the Among Us universe, which has gained immense popularity since its release. The game's social deduction mechanics and simple yet engaging gameplay have made it a favorite among gamers. With the introduction of Among Us 3D, the game is poised to reach an even wider audience.

The move to bring the VR experience to PC players without the need for a headset is a significant one, as it opens up the game to a larger player base. The addition of cross-play and the new in-game currency also suggests that Innersloth is committed to continuing to support and expand the game's ecosystem.

As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Among Us 3D is received by players and how it impacts the overall gaming landscape. With its unique blend of social deduction and multiplayer gameplay, Among Us has already made a significant mark on the industry. The introduction of Among Us 3D is likely to further solidify the game's position as a leader in the multiplayer space.
