Want to make your Among Us character stand out without spending a dime? Getting free skins in Among Us is definitely possible, though you need to know where to look and what to avoid. The short answer is you can snag free skins through official promo codes, playing the game's free Cosmicube tracks, participating in special in-game events, and linking your accounts with platforms like Twitch or Amazon Prime Gaming. But always be careful of shady websites promising easy unlocks - they're usually scams.

Among Us is a super fun game where you try to figure out who the Imposter is, or, if you're the Imposter, try to get away with it! Customizing your crewmate with cool hats, outfits, and even pets is a big part of the fun. While many cosmetics cost real money or in-game currency called Stars or Beans, there are definitely ways to dress up your character for free.

Here’s how you can deck out your Among Us character without opening your wallet:

How to Get Free Among Us Skins

• Official Promo Codes

Among Us developers, Innersloth, sometimes release special promo codes that give you free items. These codes are often for limited-time skins, hats, or pets. The best places to find these codes are usually the official Among Us social media pages, like their Twitter account, or big gaming news websites.

How to Redeem Codes:

• Mobile and Steam PC: Open Among Us, go to the main screen, tap the settings gear icon, then find the "Data" tab. You'll see a box where you can type or paste your code.
• Microsoft Store PC and Consoles (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox): You'll need to visit the official Innersloth redemption website in a web browser. Log in with your game account, enter the code, and then restart your game for the items to appear.
• Important Tip: Codes are case-sensitive, so type them exactly as they appear. Also, these codes often expire quickly, so if you see one, use it right away.

I remember one time I saw a tweet from Among Us about a free hat, and I nearly missed it! I quickly opened the game on my phone and redeemed the code just in time. My friend tried an hour later, and it was already expired. Gotta be fast!

Free Cosmicubes

Among Us has a system called Cosmicubes, which are like battle passes. While some Cosmicubes cost money, there are always free Cosmicubes available to everyone. By playing the game and completing tasks, you earn "Stars" and "Beans" which you can use to unlock different items on the free track. This is a consistent way to earn cosmetics just by playing.

• How it works: Play the game, earn currency, and use that currency to unlock nodes on the free Cosmicube path. You'll find a variety of skins, hats, and nameplates.

Special In-Game Events

Keep an eye out for special events throughout the year. During holidays like Halloween or Christmas, Among Us often has limited-time event Cosmicubes or gives away themed items just for logging in. These events are a fantastic source for unique, seasonal skins that you can't get otherwise. Some older bundles, like the 1 million downloads hat bundle, were even made free for all players later on.

Twitch Drops and Amazon Prime Gaming

Sometimes, Innersloth partners with platforms like Twitch and Amazon Prime Gaming to offer exclusive items.

• Twitch Drops: You can earn free cosmetics by linking your Among Us account to your Twitch account and watching specific Among Us streams during special campaigns.
• Amazon Prime Gaming: If you or someone in your household has an Amazon Prime subscription, you can often claim free Among Us content through Prime Gaming. Just visit the Prime Gaming website, log in, find Among Us, and claim your rewards.

Account Linking Bonuses

From time to time, Among Us might offer a bonus cosmetic for linking your game account to other platforms, such as Discord. It's worth checking the official Innersloth account page to see if there are any current linking bonuses available.

I was playing with some friends once, and one of them had a really cool pet. When I asked how they got it, they said it was a bonus for linking their Among Us account to their Discord. I did it right away and got a neat little mini-crewmate following me around! It was a pleasant surprise.

Beware of Scams!

While getting free skins is exciting, be very careful of websites that promise "all skins unlocked" or ask you to download strange files or enter your login details on unofficial sites. These are almost always scams designed to steal your account information or infect your computer with malware. Stick to official sources and methods to keep your account safe!

If you're looking to make in-app purchases in Among Us, like buying Stars for Cosmicubes or other cosmetic bundles, you can use Playstorm to earn towards Apple or Google Play gift cards. Simply play free games on Playstorm, collect points, and then redeem those points for gift cards that can be used in your game!
