New York (CNN Business) As people stay at home across the world, their latest favorite pastime is a 2018 murder mystery game set in space called Among Us. The game's exponential popularity drove its developers to announce on Thursday they were canceling a sequel to the game, to better focus on growing the existing version. The game reached over a million players on September 3 and had grown to over 3.5 million concurrent users worldwide by Friday. Among Us costs $5 on PC games store Steam or the indie store Itch.io, and it's free with ads on mobile. Throughout the game, crewmates try to complete their tasks and imposters try to murder the crew and sabotage the spaceship without getting caught.
