Differences between Among Us PC and Among Us Mobile

1. PRICE

The first difference is that the Mobile version is completely free, while Steam players will have to pay to experience this game.

3. IN-GAME OPERATION

The final difference between the PC and mobile versions is the manipulation and discussion. PC players can choose to only use mouse or keyboard and mouse together. Mobile users have a virtual joystick.
