Among Us is going 3D with a new release, no VR headset required

Why it matters: Innersloth is pushing the big red button, not because they’ve found the imposter but because they have an awesome announcement to make. Among Us is breaking into the three-dimensional world, though this time you won’t need VR headsets.

The developer has announced a new title called Among Us 3D where you’ll be able to play from a first-person perspective, instead of the usual top-down view of the original title.

This new view is reminiscent of the Among Us VR game that launched in 2022, except this new 3D version does not involve a VR headset. You’ll control your bean directly with a keyboard and mouse as you complete tasks and try to sniff out any imposters aboard the ship.

However, that’s not all that’s changing in the Among Us universe. Along with the new 3D perspective, Innersloth has a ton of fresh content and updates planned. They’re keeping details under wraps, but we do know that players can expect new tasks, cosmetics, limited-time in-game events, and even an all-new game mode coming to Among Us 3D at launch.

A new in-game currency called Stardust is also being introduced, which will allow you to buy cosmetics. The studio has specified that the currency will not be used to purchase actual game modes or features.

That said, Among Us 3D will sadly not be compatible with the classic 2D version. The two games will remain completely separate with no crossplay.

Among Us VR, however, will be compatible. It is also being rebranded as Among Us 3D to highlight the cross-platform support with the new PC release. Innersloth says that this will allow Steam PC users to join lobbies with VR players on Meta Quest, Steam VR, PlayStation VR 2, and PICO.

If you’re eager to play as those beans in three dimensions, a limited demo of Among Us 3D will be available for PC during the Steam Next Fest from February 24 to March 3. Just note the demo is for ages 16+ and will be missing some launch content.
