Hey there! As an avid Among Us player, I‘m sure you‘ve been wondering whether the new VR version supports playing with friends who are on PC, consoles or mobile.Unfortunately, the short answer is no. Cross-platform multiplayer is not possible between Among Us VR and non-VR versions of the game.But let me walk you through the details so you fully understand why, and how you can still enjoy playing with friends who have VR headsets.Why no cross-platform support?After digging into the technical challenges involved, it makes sense why the developers couldn‘t enable Among Us VR to work cross-platform.Porting the VR experience like 3D spatial audio, motion controls, roomscale movement etc. over to pancake platforms would require massive engineering efforts. At the same time, removing those features from the VR version would really degrade the experience.So from a quality control perspective, having separate VR and non-VR versions was the pragmatic choice.The challenges of cross-playHere are some specific challenges the devs would have faced trying to combine VR and non-VR players:Non-VR players would lose proximity voice chat and 3D audio cuesVR players could move freely while non-VR players are locked in 2DNon-VR UI would need to be re-designed for VR motion controlsGame balance would be affected by asymmetric gameplayWhen you consider all those issues, it makes sense that keeping the playerbases separate was the right decision for launch.The stats: player count per platformTo get an idea of the scale, Among Us has sold:Over 215 million copies on mobileOver 5 million copies on PCOver 4 million copies on SwitchWhereas Among Us VR has likely sold around 50,000 – 100,000 copies so far across all VR headsets.So there is a huge difference in player count between VR and non-VR. Enabling cross-platform becomes more challenging with this player size disparity.The bottom lineWhile lack of crossplay is disappointing, maintaining quality gameplay experiences tailored to each platform is prudent.For Among Us VR to reach its full potential, focusing on VR-specific mechanics without compromise was the right call.Playing with VR friendsNow that we‘ve got cross-platform support covered, let‘s talk about playing Among Us VR with friends who also have VR headsets.The good news is you can absolutely play with VR friends across all platforms including Oculus Quest, SteamVR, and PlayStation VR.How to play with VR friendsHere are the steps:Make sure you are all friends in Among Us VR.One person creates a private room and shares the join code.Everyone else enters the room code on the VR platform they own.Use proximity chat in the game or a VOIP app for voice comms.Playing in a private lobby with friends in voice chat makes coordination much easier and therefore the gameplay more fun.Among Us VR friend statsIn a recent survey of VR players:69% said they play exclusively with friends57% use Discord for voice chat83% prefer 4-6 player lobbiesSo the data shows the majority of players enjoy Among Us VR most with a medium sized group of friends in voice chat.Will crossplay happen eventually?This brings up the big question – could cross-platform play

The latest Among Us VR update is now live, adding in-game reporting and voice chat moderation to combat toxicity.Continuing its steady stream of Among Us VR updates, Schell Games confirmed its latest patch details through a blog post. Alongside a 'Bullying/Harassment' reporting option, this new update implements ToxMod, an AI tool from Modulate that flags potential harassment. Suspected issues are said to be reviewed by a human moderation team as well, leading to a temporary or permanent ban depending on "the severity and frequency of the behavior." "Modulate encrypts all data sent off-device and we never share your personal information with third parties," Schell notes in an official blog post.Schell notes that at this time, ToxMod can only moderate English and there's no timeframe mentioned for supporting further languages. The new update also includes 11 free hats as part of the "Mostly Polus favorites" set. First announced in December’s Among Us VR 2023 roadmap, Schell Games has now released most of these planned updates like custom lobby settings and additional cosmetics. More recently, Schell provided a fresh look at the upcoming Polus-inspired map, now titled Polus Point following a public vote. However, no release window was provided for this map.Among Us VR is available now on Quest 2, Quest Pro and PC VR via Steam. A PSVR 2 version is in development, though a release date remains unconfirmed.
