version of the game Among Us and offers an immersive experience.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what it is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Same concept:<\/strong> In this version, you either play as a Crewmate or an Impostor on a spacecraft, but you are transported to a completely immersive VR world.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tasks in first-person:<\/strong> Tasks such as replacing wires and running diagnostics get more interesting when you are performing them using your virtual hands inside the game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proximity chat:<\/strong> Voice chat has become more advanced. Now you can hear how close people are and this makes playing the game much more realistic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cross-platform play:<\/strong> You can play with friends, even if they are on VR headsets, like Meta Quest 2 PlayStation VR, or PC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Among_Us_VR_free\"><\/span>Is Among Us VR free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Sadly Among Us VR is not free and it costs $9.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The annoying thing is the game may sound cheap but you do need to buy a compatible headset which can be a little pricey.<\/p>\n<p>Some headsets can cost over $200, which is pricey for the young Among Us fans.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Buy_Among_Us_VR\"><\/span>Where to Buy Among Us VR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can purchase Among Us VR on these platforms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/en-gb\/experiences\/4948428055244413\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta Quest Store<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0For Meta Quest and Quest 2 headsets.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1849900\/Among_Us_VR\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SteamVR<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0For PC-compatible VR headsets like Valve Index, HTC Vive, and others.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/concept\/10005565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation VR<\/a>:<\/strong> For the original PlayStation VR.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/store-global.picoxr.com\/global\/detail\/1\/7257172372246020102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PICO<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0For PICO VR headsets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_it_costs\"><\/span>How much it costs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The price of Among Us VR remains the same on all platforms, currently around $9.99.<\/p>\n<p>There could be discounts occasionally but you would need to keep your eyes peeled for that.<\/p>\n<p>There is no way to play Among Us VR for free and even if you found a way to play the game for free you will still need a VR headset.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Worth_the_Cost\"><\/span>Is It Worth the Cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have played the original &#8220;Among Us&#8221;
