With the server room floor constantly melting under the heat of overloaded servers, Innersloth could use all the help it can get running Among Us. Especially considering the legions of mobile gamers suddenly flocking to the game, able to sink their teeth into all the underhanded, friendship-destroying fun for free. To keep the lights on (well, they can probably afford a lot of lights these days), Innersloth is going to have to make money somehow. And that means more than just ads.

That's where cosmetics come in. Who doesn't want to look cool while being slaughtered by an alien shapeshifter? Or while it's slicing crew members in half and depleting all the oxygen in the ship.

Skins are cosmetic outfits that change the appearance of your character. As you probably already know from longingly scrolling through the skins section of the cash shop, these can be recognizable trope uniforms such as a doctor, military uniform, astronaut, and a few Polus and Mira HQ themed skins. None of the outfits have any intended effects on gameplay and are purely there to add some visual flair for players who want to stand out from the crowd.
