AMONG US: ALMOST HALF A BILLION PLAYERS IN NOVEMBER

With approximately half a billion people reportedly playing Among Us in November, it has had the foremost monthly players for a mobile game ever, beating giants like Pokémon GO and Candy Crush Saga.

According to Nielsen’s SuperData, the sport is far and away from the foremost popular game ever in terms of monthly players.

The success is even more remarkable because InnerSloth the company that makes Among Us only has four employees.

That’s approximately 125 million players per one that works on the game. It’s proven to be so popular that the studio chose to cancel a sequel that was within the works and just put all its effort into improving the first.

It even caught the eye of sitting congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who live-streamed herself playing it to start out to encourage people to vote, with an audience on Twitch that peaked at over 400 thousand viewers.
