So you want to join the fun and intrigue of Among Us? This guide will walk you through creating your account and getting started with this wildly popular social deduction game. It's easier than you think! Let's dive in.
Understanding Among Us Account Creation
Unlike many games, Among Us doesn't require a dedicated account registration process in the traditional sense. You don't need to create a username and password on a specific website. Instead, your account is linked to the platform you're playing on.
This means your progress and customizations are tied to your device and chosen platform (iOS, Android, PC). Let's explore how to play on each platform.
Creating Your Among Us "Account" on Different Platforms
Here's a breakdown of how to start playing Among Us, depending on the device you're using:

Launch the Game: Once installed, open the Among Us app.
-
Start Playing: You'll be able to join online matches or create your own private game immediately. You can customize your character's color and name within the game. This in-game name acts as your identifier.

Important Note on Game Progress
Remember, your progress isn't saved to a central server with a unique username and password. Your progress is locally stored on your device. If you switch devices, your progress won't carry over. This also means that there isn't a system for account recovery.

While you don't create a traditional account, you can still personalize your Among Us experience:
