Among Us is arriving on Xbox and PlayStation on December 14th. The popular social deduction game will also launch on Xbox Game Pass on the same day and be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series S / X, PS4, and PS5 consoles. The announcement comes months after Sony confirmed Among Us was coming to its PlayStation consoles this year.

Just like on other platforms, Among Us will support crossplay and online multiplayer across mobile, PC, and now consoles. The only difference between the two console versions is PlayStation players will get access to exclusive Ratchet & Clank-themed cosmetics. There’s a skin and hat to make your character look like Ratchet, and a pet that looks like Clank.

Among Us was a huge hit during the early stages of the pandemic, becoming 2020’s most-downloaded mobile game. Innersloth has been gradually improving the game over the past year, revealing plans to add a hide and seek mode, visor cosmetics, and a fifth map earlier this year. Physical editions of the game are also arriving in Europe on December 14th, with a US release due in January.
