Among Us quickly became one of the most talked-about video games last year. The online multiplayer game from InnerSloth was released in 2018, however, it was only in recent months that the title gained mainstream popularity in the online gaming community. The video game also garnered a massive viewership on the online game streaming service Twitch, which saw some of the biggest streamers try their hands at the title. It also started to gain traction on YouTube, as more and more content creators looked to associate their names with the local party game. This includes popular YouTube star Valkyrae, who also went on to become the most-watched female streamer of 2020.
