Multi-GPU FPS estimate

Estimated average FPS by GPU at 1080p / 1440p / 4K, derived from Among Us's demand tier (tier 6, Demanding (high-end GPU)) and published TechPowerUp-style relative-performance indices (RTX 4090 = 100), retrieved 2026-08-29. Planning estimates, not benchmarks.

Method: a game's demand tier maps to a “GPU index needed for ~60 FPS at 1080p”; each GPU's relative index produces an estimate via a diminishing-returns curve, then scaled for resolution. Source: TechPowerUp GPU database (relative performance), 2026-08-29.

Age rating & regional compliance

GameRulePro pairs each title with its ESRB age rating and, where documented, real regulatory notes on loot boxes, skin gambling and randomized monetization. Every line is source-linked and labeled with its retrieval date. This is an educational reference, not legal advice — verify the specifics that apply to your jurisdiction.

Rules, fair-play & tournament formats

AI search can summarize what Among Us is — it can't turn your group size, time limits and house-rule preferences into a printable rules book, or generate a tournament bracket with tiebreaks. Run the generators below to build yours. Everything runs in your browser.

Build your house rules

Community-style house rules — not an official rulebook.

Among Us — House Rules

  1. Players: 4 (adjust the rule set for odd numbers)
  2. Every round or session runs on a 40-minute timer; when it expires, the current objective or score decides the round.
  3. Respawns are unlimited at checkpoints; dying costs progress to the last checkpoint only.
  4. Disputes go to the session host; a 60-second discussion cap, then a vote. Ties favor the current objective leader.
  5. These are community house rules for casual play — they replace nothing in any official rulebook.

Typical Casual play structure

Community-style reference by genre — not an official rulebook.

Play style

  • Simulation fidelity settings (damage, fuel, weather) are a pre-agreement
  • Career vs. sandbox changes the rule context entirely
  • Community challenges define their own scoring
Fair-play note: house rules and tournament formats on this page are community-style templates for casual play, not official rulebooks or sanctioned event rules. Agree on the format and tiebreak order with your group before you start.

Release, patch & rule-change notes

Official release date: 2018-07-25. Ongoing patches and version history are published by the developer — for the latest patch notes, see the official store or support page. GameRulePro summarizes the official release only and does not invent patch dates. When a developer ships a rule-affecting update (balance pass, mode change, or ranked-reset), re-run the generator above to keep your house rules in sync.

About Among Us

Join your crewmates in a multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal! Play online or over local wifi with 4-10 players as you attempt to hold your spaceship together and return back to civilization. But beware...as there may be an alien impostor aboard! One crewmate has been replaced by a parasitic shapeshifter. Their goal is to eliminate the rest of the crew before the ship reaches home. The Impostor will sabotage the ship, sneak through vents, deceive, and frame others to remain anonymous and kill off the crew. While everyone is fixing up the ship, no one can talk to maintain anonymity. Once a body is reported, the surviving crew will openly debate who they think The Impostor is. The Impostor's goal is to pretend that they are a member of the crew. If The Impostor is not voted off, everyone goes back to maintaining the ship until another body is found. If The Impostor is voted off, the crew wins!

How the Among Us FPS estimate and rules generator are computed

Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The rules and tournament builder is a community-style template engine: it formats your group size, match format and tiebreaks into a printable sheet. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game and agree house rules with your group before play.
