Among Us, the multiplayer deduction title from Innersloth was one of the biggest surprises of 2020. Despite launching two years earlier, the indie game saw a massive surge in popularity during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.Among Us' social-focused gameplay and free-to-play mobile edition are often held up as the main reasons that it took off as well as it did.
In 2020, mobile users made up 97% ofAmong Usplayers, though the PC version still generated more revenue for Innersloth. However, there’s good news for those hardcore or physical-copy fans out there, as three console collector’s editions have recently been announced. The Crewmate, Imposter, and EjectedAmong Useditionsall come with a variety of physical goodies. But are they worth the money?

Among Us Crewmate Edition
The first edition on our list is the most reasonably priced of the three. Players are now able to pre-order theAmong UsCrewmate Edition for $30. For the same price as most mid-range videogames, fans can pick up a selection of physical collectibles, including a hard copy of the game:
Overall, the Crewmate Edition offers a pretty good range of collectibles for just $30, particularly for players who were planning on picking upAmong Usfor their console anyway.
Among Us Imposter Edition
The next tier ofAmong Uscollector’s editionsis the Imposter Edition, which offers a few extra goodies on top of the Crewmate. Players can pick up this edition for $50, an increase of $20 over the previous tier.
While the extraAmong Usitems in the Imposter Edition are a lot more substantial than those in the Crewmate Edition, there are only three of them. This makes it harder to recommend at $20 more.
Among Us Ejected Edition
ThefinalAmong UsCollector’s Editionis one for the mega-fans, containing the most collectibles and a limited edition steelbook. The Ejected Edition will set players back a substantial $90.
The Ejected Edition contains a ludicrous amount of collectibles and bonuses, so die-hard fans may seriously want to consider picking it up. However, for casual players, it’s harder to recommend with its hefty price tag being tough to overlook.
Among Usis available now for Mobile, PC, and Switch. PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S versions are in development.
