Among Us gamers, PC represented only 3% of the entire community yet made up 64% of the total game’s revenue.

Because of the difference in monetization, PC players have to pay at least $4.99 to play the game, whereas it’s free to play for mobile users.

While the latter comes with ads, that doesn’t seem to bother gamers too much since many decide not to pay for a premium version.
