The most astounding fact about Among Us is that the game blew up instantly after its launch. The game gained immense popularity and a wide player base immediately after its launch. Among Us for Consoles is not available. It was a PC and mobile platform exclusive game. The popularity gained by the game was a surprise, keeping in mind that console gamers make a good share of gamers all around the world.
A tweet from a handle named PlayStation Game Size tweeted that the game might be out for consoles on 31 August 2021.

The tweet clearly says that this date is according to the database. This might be the date for the game to be released on the PlayStation, but it can be the same date for the Xbox users as well.
As pointed out by @PlayStationSize, this could simply be a placeholder date for the game. There have been many times in the past where fans have got far too excited about release dates only to find out that they were placeholders, and the same thing could be happening here. As such, it would be best for PlayStation users to wait for Among Us developer Innersloth to announce a release date. While it could certainly prove true, rumours should always be taken with a grain of salt.
While gamers now have an idea of when the PS4 and PS5 versions of Among Us will arrive, this date could also be the same as the one for Xbox. With the game recently shown off at Xbox’s E3 showcase, it is clear that it could be coming to Microsoft’s platforms sooner rather than later. In turn, while this is purely speculation, there is a chance that the August 31 release date also applies to the Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions. With PlayStation and Xbox users both eager to get in on the hype, it would be great to see both sides playing as imposters on the same day.
For the time being, PlayStation users will have to wait for the confirmed date of the game to come out. The launch of the game can blow up the popularity even further. The game has garnered a lot of attention and popularity, and this can be enhanced with the launch of Among Us for consoles.
