Perhaps to test the waters, Li streamed Among Us a couple of days ago, but it could only be viewed by subscribers to the channel. “That would turn into a bit of a riot,” he stated. Recording information: Recorded at Thin Ice Studios, Lamerluser and X-or Studios, from October to December 2011. The band’s guitarist Herman Li usually plays both guitar and video games like StarCraft on his Twitch streams and has expressed interest in playing Among Us with the entire band. Distributed by Essential Music (UK), Roadrunner Records (North America), 3Wise (Australia) and JVC Victor (Japan). Not to miss out on the potential exposure that streaming the mischief-filled game can bring, the power metal band DragonForce has stated that they too are interested in playing the title on Twitch. YouTube’s Head of Gaming even recently tweeted that Rachell Hofstetter, who goes by Valkyrae online, has become one of the fastest-growing and most popular streamers in the world, thanks to her Among Us streams.

Recently, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez streamed Among Us with fellow US Representative Ilhan Omar, Pokimane, Myth, DrLupo, and several other top streamers. Since its sudden boost in visibility on both YouTube and Twitch, a number of content creators have begun showcasing the game on their channels.
The game launched nearly two years ago, but it apparently took a COVID-19 pandemic and gamers with lots of free time on their hands for the potential chaos and fun of Innersloth’s creation to really garner attention.
There’s no question that Among Us, the multiplayer game about teamwork and betrayal on a spaceship, has received a sudden surge in popularity over the past few months.
