Among Us, a cross-platform multiplayer game developed back in 2018, picked up the heat among players recently.

The game enjoys its popularity for being an online as well as a locally playable game that can incorporate a group of 4-10 folks.

Even though Among Us was initially planned for mobile phones, Innersloth extended the support to Windows as well.

Recently, reports have begun to emerge as players are impacted by a bug that makes the game totally unplayable after the latest update.

From what it appears, the game start button has stopped working or has gone missing. This issue isn’t narrowed to only Android users but affects iOS users too.

This, however, was quickly noticed by the officials and they have acknowledged that an ongoing issue affects mobile players.
