Among Us finally arrived on PlayStation and Xbox consoles in December and, on the former ecosystem, it has proven to be dominant.
This is according to Justin Massongill – Content Communications Manager, Sony Interactive Entertainment – who has released a post on the official PlayStation Blog revealing the download charts for the PlayStation Store in December 2021.
Before looking at those charts it’s worth noting that Massongill doesn’t specify the criteria for the charts so we’re not sure if this is organised by number of downloads or by revenue generated.
As Among Us is still a relatively cheap game at just R69 in South Africa for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, we’re going to assume it’s by number of downloads.
The last caveat here is that South Africa, and many other countries and regions, are excluded from these results. Only the USA / Canada and the EU are included. While this does represent a majority of the gaming population, it still leaves us and many millions of people out of the equation.
