Among Us 3D Is Here: What’s New, What’s Different, and Can You Run It?

May 06, 2025 by Jacob Brown

A space-themed promotional image featuring five 3D Among Us characters, including a green crewmate wearing a headset and holding a mouse with a CCL logo, alongside white, red, orange (with a pumpkin hat), and blue (police outfit) crewmates. Bold white text reads 'System Ready? Among Us 3D Is Here!'

Since its inception, Among Us has kept millions of players on their toes, turning friends into suspicious crewmates and chaotic impostors. With its simple-but-genius formula of teamwork, deception, and emergency meetings, it became a pop-culture staple.

But then came Among Us VR, flipping the game into first-person mode and adding a whole new level of paranoia. Now, the developers are venting into new territory once again with Among Us 3D — the same immersive experience, but available to everyone. That’s right: Among Us 3D is essentially Among Us VR... only now, you don’t need a VR headset to play.

So what's new, what’s different, and more importantly, can your PC handle the sus? Let’s dive in.

What Is Among Us 3D?

Among Us 3D is a rebranded, expanded version of Among Us VR. Designed to run on flat-screen PCs, it offers the same intense first-person gameplay, now accessible to anyone with a decent gaming machine.

Whether you’re completing tasks in Electrical or sneaking through vents as the impostor, Among Us 3D brings the VR-level immersion to standard setups.

Best of all? PC and VR players can play together in the same lobbies.

Top New Features

  • First-Person 3D Perspective
    See the game through your crewmate’s eyes. It adds tension, immersion, and makes every hallway feel way more sus.

  • Cross-Device Compatibility
    Among Us 3D is playable on PC and VR, and yes — the lobbies are shared. Whether you’re using a mouse or a motion controller, it’s the same game.

  • Proximity Voice Chat
    Talk to crewmates near you in real time. Plan, panic, or plead your innocence (while someone gets stabbed just out of earshot).

  • New Game Modes
    Try out "Tag Mode" where one infected crewmate has to chase down others. Think hide-and-seek... with betrayal.

  • Cosmetic Customisation
    Use the new "Stardust" currency to kit out your crewmate with skins, hats, and other stylishly sus upgrades.

System Requirements for Among Us 3D

At the time of writing, only the minimum system requirements have been officially published for Among Us 3D. Here's what you'll need to run the game on PC without looking too sus:

Minimum Specs

  • OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • Processor: Intel i5-4590
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB)
  • Memory: 8GB RAM
  • Storage: 2.5GB available space

Note: No recommended specs have been shared yet by the developers. Bit suspicious, right?

How Do These Specs Compare to Among Us VR?

Here’s the twist in the vent — Among Us 3D actually has slightly higher minimum requirements than the VR version of the game. That’s kinda surprising considering they’re impostors of the same gameplay style.

Among Us VR Minimum Specs

  • CPU: Intel i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970
  • RAM: 8GB
  • Storage: 1GB
  • VR Support: Required (SteamVR or Oculus)

Among Us VR Recommended Specs

  • CPU: Intel i7 6700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • GPU: GTX 1060 / RX 480
  • RAM: 8GB
  • Storage: 1GB

What This Means for You

Even without VR, Among Us 3D might just be asking a little more from your system. Maybe it's some behind-the-scenes polishing or new rendering tricks for flat screens. Whatever the reason, don’t panic in Electrical — this is still a lightweight game that should run smoothly on most entry- to mid-tier rigs.

So whether you’re a crewmate running tasks or an impostor waiting to strike, rest assured: you won’t need a spaceship of a PC to jump in.

What Kind of PC Do You Really Need?

Let’s be honest, crewmate — Among Us 3D isn’t about to eject your gaming rig into the void. It’s a lightweight title by today’s standards. But if your setup is looking a little...sus (aka below spec), don’t worry — we’ve got emergency support on standby at CCL.

Operating System

You’ll need at least Windows 10 (64-bit) to play — no big surprise there. But if you want to future-proof your system and avoid any late-game sabotage, we recommend Windows 11. With support for Windows 10 ending soon, now’s the time to upgrade before things get...electrical.

Processor (CPU)

Among Us 3D is not a CPU-intensive game. It only asks for an old-school Intel i5-4590 (launched back in 2014 — practically ancient in tech years).

But if your processor is sus or lagging behind, we recommend the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 — a 6-core, 12-thread AM4 CPU that’s quick, reliable, and perfect for launching into not just Among Us, but other games too.

Graphics Card (GPU)

A GTX 1060 (3GB) is all you need to sneak around the ship, but if your system’s GPU is looking like it belongs in Medbay, we highly recommend one of these modern-day upgrades:

6GB GDDR6 GRAPHICS MEMORY

PCI EXPRESS 4.0 X8 INTERFACE

OVERCLOCKED EDITION

OUTPUTS - HDMI AND DISPLAY PORT

£197.99

PCI EXPRESS 4.0 INTERFACE

Both are fully capable of running Among Us 3D without setting off any performance alarms.

Memory (RAM)

You’ll need 8GB of RAM, which is a bit sus considering how low the other specs are — we expected 6GB. Still, 8GB is common in most systems today.

But let’s be real: if you’re playing anything else, running Discord, or planning to stream your next imposter victory, go for 16GB.

We recommend the Kingston FURY Beast DDR4:

8GB — great for chill crewmates on a budget

VOLTAGE: 1.35V

LATENCY TIMING: CL16

SPEED: 3200MT/S (PC4-25600)

1 X 8GB DIMM MEMORY

16GB (2×8GB) — for impostors who multitask like pros

VOLTAGE: 1.35V

LATENCY TIMING: CL16

SPEED: 3200MT/S (PC4-25600)

1 X 16GB DIMM MEMORY

£250.99 SAVE £39
ADD TO BASKET

Fast, reliable, and ready to help you survive your next emergency meeting.

Storage

You’ll only need 2.5GB of space to install the game — even your suspiciously full downloads folder can probably make room for that.

Still, if you want to speed up game loads (and your whole system), an SSD will do wonders. Our top rec:

Crucial BX500 240GB SSD — compact but perfect for Among Us 3D and a few extra games or sus files you forgot you downloaded.

SATA III INTERFACE

2.5" FORM FACTOR

UP TO 540MB/S READ

UP TO 500MB/S WRITE

Whether you're upgrading or assembling your perfect build, CCL has your back — and your base covered.
