Among Us quickly became a huge hit, letting players pretend to be crewmates working together or sneaky imposters trying to sabotage the mission. If you've been wondering how much it costs to play this popular game on your Nintendo Switch, you're in the right place.

The digital version of Among Us on the Nintendo Switch usually costs $4.99 or $5.00 on the Nintendo eShop. However, to play online with friends or other players, you will also need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, which is a separate subscription fee.

What Does Among Us Cost on Switch?

When you decide to get Among Us for your Nintendo Switch, there are a couple of things to know about the price.

• Digital Download: The most common way to get Among Us is by downloading it directly from the Nintendo eShop. This digital version typically costs around $4.99 to $5.00. This gets you the base game without any ads, which is a nice upgrade from the free mobile version.
• Nintendo Switch Online Subscription: This is super important! To play Among Us online with others, you must have a Nintendo Switch Online membership. This isn't just for Among Us; many online Switch games require it. The subscription has different pricing options:

• Around $3.99 per month
• Around $7.99 for three months
• Around $19.99 for a full year

So, while the game itself is pretty cheap, remember to factor in that online membership if you plan on playing with friends or other players over the internet.

I remember when I first got Among Us on my Switch, I was excited to jump into a game with my buddies. I bought the game for five bucks, no problem. But then I tried to join an online lobby and kept getting an error. It took me a minute to realize I hadn't renewed my Nintendo Switch Online subscription! Felt a bit silly, but once I paid the yearly fee, I was back to calling out imposters. It's an easy thing to forget, but a necessary one for online play.

• Physical Editions: You might also see physical versions of Among Us, like the "Crewmate Edition" or "Ejected Edition." These usually come in a game case and can include extra digital content like skin packs, along with physical goodies like stickers, posters, or even plushies. These editions cost a lot more, ranging from about $20 to $100, depending on what's included and where you buy them. They're more for collectors or big fans who want all the extras.

What You Get for Your Money

For the small price of the digital game and the online subscription, you get a ton of fun.

• Full Game Experience: The Nintendo Switch version gives you the complete Among Us experience, letting you play as a crewmate trying to finish tasks or an imposter trying to secretly take out everyone.
• No Ads: Unlike the free mobile version, the Switch version of Among Us doesn't have ads popping up, which makes for a smoother gaming experience.
• Cross-Play: A cool feature is that Among Us on Switch supports cross-play. This means you can play with friends who are on other platforms like PC or mobile.
• Play Anywhere: One of the best parts about the Switch is being able to play it docked at home or take it with you on the go. I love being able to switch from playing on my TV to taking my Switch with me on a long bus ride. It's super convenient for quick rounds of Among Us whether I'm at home or out and about.

Sometimes, Among Us goes on sale on the Nintendo eShop. For example, it has been seen for as low as $3.00 during special promotions. Keeping an eye out for these sales can save you a couple of dollars.
