Although it released back in 2018, Among Us has gotten extremely popular in recent months. Since the summer of 2020, when the game first became a certifiable hit, Among Us has only gotten more popular. One sign that Among Us has reached new heights of popularity, however, is that people are starting to get sick of it.
What started out as a quirky social deduction game from indie studio InnerSloth has now become a massive hit with millions of players worldwide. People getting sick of Among Us may seem antithetical to the way many players feel about the game. After all, the new Airship map update is arriving this week, and the hype surrounding Among Us seems to be at an all-time high. However, this can also explain why some people are getting tired of Among Us already.
The feeling among some players that Among Us is too popular is nothing new. Even before now, some players claimed Among Us was a "dead game" and bemoaned the amount of new players supposedly ruining it. That hasn't stopped millions of new players from flocking to the game, however, and it looks like Among Us is more popular now than ever. In fact, it's this increasing popularity that may be to be blame for some players getting sick of it.
Why Among Us Players May Be Getting Sick Of The Game
People are probably getting sick of Among Us for the same reasons some people get tired of Marvel movies and Star Wars. Once something becomes so popular, it can get overexposed - and it's that kind of overexposure that can make people get sick of seeing and hearing about it all the time. It's proof that Among Us is pretty much everywhere now, and that it's become a part of the cultural zeitgeist.
So, while people are seemingly getting tired of Among Us because of its ubiquity, that's a true sign that Among Us has achieved new heights of popularity. It's everywhere now, which is why people are getting tired of hearing about it. After a long wait, the Airship map is finally coming to Among Us, so it will be interesting to see if players who've grown tired of the game will come back once the new content arrives.
Either way, Among Us has become a ubiquitous and inarguable part of pop culture now. It's a true sign of the game's popularity - and most likely why some people are getting sick of it.
