Among Us Goes From 350,000 Daily PC Gamers To Two Million After Epic Giveaway
Among Us isn’t rocking the industry like it was last year, but it’s still very popular, reaching hundreds of thousands of gamers daily on PC alone. What do you get when you add an Epic Games Store giveaway to the mix? Millions more are jumping on board, according to the developers of Innersloth.
A “normal” number of gamers among us see around 350,000 daily users on a Saturday, as shown in a graph shared by Community Director Victoria Tran. That was the case for the game on May 22, and on May 29, the Saturday after the game went free on Epic, the daily PC player count jumped to two million.
As Tran notes, various factors are contributing to the increase in numbers including players from other platforms testing this release and a long weekend for many due to vacations in the US and UK. . Still, it offers a solid idea of ââwhat an Epic giveaway can do for the player count of an already popular multiplayer game.
And, of course, people love free PC games.
and here it is when it went free on Epic on May 27
Notes:
– this only shows PC players
– not all new players, a lot of people are grabbing Among Us on as many platforms as possible and probably testing it
– long weekend for Americans, maybe more players playing / giving a little boost pic.twitter.com/wUag8a4i7A– Victoria Tran ð§ (@TheVTran) May 31, 2021
