In Among Us, Stars are the special currency you use to make your character look awesome. These shiny Stars let you unlock cool outfits, hats, pets, and even special bundles called Cosmicubes that let you earn more cosmetics. If you’ve ever wanted to stand out from the other crewmates or impostors, Stars are how you do it.

How to Get Stars in Among Us

To get Stars in Among Us, you generally buy them using real money through the game's shop. However, if you're playing on a mobile device, there's a neat trick: you can earn a few free Stars each day by watching optional ads.

Here's a breakdown of how to get your hands on Stars:

1. Buying Stars Through the In-Game Shop

The main way to get Stars is by purchasing them directly within the Among Us game. This process is pretty straightforward no matter which device you're playing on.

• Launch Among Us: Open the game on your device. Among Us is available on many platforms, including mobile (iOS/Android), PC (Windows, Steam, Epic Games), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox.
• Head to the Shop: From the main menu, look for the dollar sign icon or the shop tab. Click or tap on it to enter the in-game store.
• Select the Stars Tab: Inside the shop, you'll usually see different tabs for various items. Find the tab that shows a Star icon. This is where you can see all the Star bundles.
• Choose Your Bundle: Stars come in different packs. You can buy smaller bundles like 20 or 30 Stars, or larger ones up to 300 Stars. The more Stars you buy in a bundle, the better value you usually get for your money.
• Complete the Purchase: After picking your desired bundle, follow the on-screen prompts to finish the payment. This will link to your device's app store (Google Play, Apple App Store) or your platform's store (Steam, PlayStation Store) to complete the transaction. Once approved, the Stars will be added to your Among Us account.

I remember one time I really wanted a specific pet – the Brainslug. It was just so goofy! I checked how many Stars it cost and decided to buy a pack. It felt good to finally get that little guy following me around in every game, even if it meant spending a few bucks.

What Can You Buy with Stars?

Stars are mainly used for cosmetic items that help you customize your character. These items don't give you any advantage in the game; they just make you look cooler! You can use Stars to buy:

• Cosmetics: Hats, skins, and pets to change your crewmate's appearance. If you're looking for ways to personalize your character without spending money, you might be interested in how to get free skins in Among Us.
• Bundles: Collections of cosmetic items, sometimes including maps or other goodies.
• Cosmicubes: These are like special paths where you unlock themed items using Pods you earn by playing the game. Some Cosmicubes are bought with Stars, while others use Beans.

Are There Free Ways to Get Stars?

For a long time, the simple answer was no, Stars could only be purchased with real money. However, the developers at Innersloth recently added a way for mobile players to earn a small number of Stars for free.

On mobile devices (iOS and Android), you might find a special Star button in the game. If you click this button, you'll be shown an ad. After watching the ad, you'll receive 1 Star for free. You can watch up to 3 ads per day, meaning you can get up to 3 free Stars daily. This is a great way to slowly save up for that cool cosmetic you've been eyeing without spending any money. Just remember, this feature is for verified mobile accounts, not guest accounts.

I started doing this on my phone recently. I just click the button, watch the quick ad, and boom, another Star in my pocket. It's not a lot at once, but seeing my Star count slowly go up day by day for free feels pretty satisfying, especially when I eventually get enough for a new hat!

Be careful of websites or apps that promise unlimited free Stars. These are usually scams or unofficial mods that can put your account or device at risk. The legitimate way to get free Stars is currently only through the optional ads on mobile, as provided by the game's creators.

Whether you decide to buy them or patiently collect them through ads, getting Stars is all about customizing your Among Us experience and making your character truly yours.

If you enjoy making your Among Us character unique with different cosmetics, remember you can get gift cards for in-app purchases! Playstorm offers Google Play and Apple App Store gift cards that you can redeem to help buy Stars or other in-game content in Among Us.
