Even though Among Us is not available to Mac users, there are ways for them to play. Mac users can use the BlueStacks emulator to run the Android version of the game on their computers. Note: This is an iOS application.Here is an instruction if you want to play it on the Mac. Among Us lets you play with 4-10 player online or via local WiFi as you attempt to prepare your spaceship for departure, but beware as one or more random players among the Crew are Impostors bent on killing everyone!

Among Us is a popular multiplayer social deduction game for iOS, Android, and PC developed by Innersloth that has been around for more than two years but it wasn’t until fairly recently that it became a huge hit with huge popularity. At the moment, no less than 200,000 players are online, playing Among us, at any given time and the number of registered users is times that number. Among us has a deceivingly simple, yet highly entertaining premise, where the players are separated into two groups – crewmates and imposters.

The goal of the game is for the imposters to complete tasks around the map while simultaneously trying to uncover and eliminate all imposters. On the other hand, the imposters’ goal is to sabotage the crewmates and eliminate them before all their tasks are completed.

Undeniably, this game can offer hours of fun to anyone who is willing to give it a try and there’s certainly no shortage on different platforms that it is available for. As we mentioned, you can play Among Us on your Android or iOS mobile device and you can also download it from Steam on your Windows PC. The mobile versions of the game are free while the Steam version costs 5$ at the moment of writing. However, there doesn’t seem to be an official version for Mac at the moment (and there will likely not be one in the foreseeable future). That said, there’s still a perfectly legal and safe way to play Among Us for free on Mac as well as on PC and, in the next lines, we will show you how you can do that using the BlueStacks platform.

Playing Among Us with BlueStacks is a perfectly safe and legitimate cross-platform emulator and it poses no threat to your Mac system.

Here, it’s worth noting that the creators of the platform point out on their official site that BlueStacks is primarily used by Windows PC users and that is why innovations and updates for the Windows version of the app are priterized over Mac. This is not to say that the Mac version wouldn’t eventually get all the new updates and improvements but it may take a bit longer compared to its Windows counterpart.

According to the game’s creators, their intention is to add all content that has been initially intended to be featured in the supposed sequel to Among Us 1 through a series of updates focused on expanding the current game.

PuffballsUnited has admitted that it will be more difficult to modify the current code of AmongUs to accommodate the incoming changes rather than starting anew and creating a whole new game. However, according to the game’s publisher, this is good news for the players who are already playing AmongUs and who own the game. This means that those players wouldn’t need to spend more money on a sequel and would get all of the new content automatically as the new updates for the game get released.
