After some delays and an official announcement, Innersloth and Schell Games have launched Among Us 3D today for Steam PC gamers (May 6, 2025). This new version brings the classic deception and teamwork gameplay into a detailed 3D, first-person style, so no VR headset is needed.
Classic Gameplay with a Twist
Among Us 3D keeps the key elements of the original game, where Crewmates work on tasks while Impostors try to sabotage and take them out. What’s exciting about this new version is the addition of native proximity voice chat, letting players talk to each other without needing third-party apps.
Crossplay and Compatibility
The PC edition is fully compatible with the VR versions (Among Us 3D: VR) available on Meta Quest, SteamVR, PlayStation VR2, and Pico platforms. However, it’s important to note that Among Us 3D does not work with the original 2D Among Us game.
New Maps and Customizations
As promised, Among Us 3D features two maps – Skeld II and Polus Point – which have been adapted from Among Us VR. Players can enjoy both new and classic mini-games with first-person controls, plus they can customize their “Beansonas” with a variety of hats, gloves, and skins.
In addition, the game introduces Stardust, which is a premium currency used just for cosmetic items. Stardust is available in bundles ranging from $1.99 to $39.99 USD and does not have an expiration date. However, Stardust is specific to each platform and cannot be transferred between different platforms or used in the original Among Us game.
Transition to the 3D Family
As part of a larger rebranding, Among Us VR has been integrated into the Among Us 3D universe. Players who made cosmetic purchases in the VR version will still have access to those items after the transition, although there might be a slight delay when loading them at first.
While Among Us 3D and Among Us 3D: VR are sold separately, there is a discounted bundle available for players who already own the VR edition.
