Polus.gg is a free modification for the social deduction game Among Us, released in 2021 for PC. As a mod, it significantly overhauls the core experience by introducing new gamemodes that shift strategic focus, alongside a persistent account system for progression. Players engage in strategy and deception within the familiar framework, but with added structural depth and new objectives beyond the base game's standard loop.
As a mod, this content fundamentally alters the base game structure without requiring players to purchase separate expansions or downloadable content; it is offered as a free addition. This approach allows the community to experience familiar settings with entirely new rulesets and objectives. The primary value proposition is the introduction of significant structural changes that go beyond simple cosmetic updates or minor rule tweaks.
The most impactful additions center around a completely new account system, which provides persistent identity and progression across sessions, moving beyond the purely ephemeral nature of the base game's lobbies. Furthermore, the modification introduces several new gamemodes. These modes fundamentally shift player priorities and strategies, often requiring different approaches to deception, observation, and teamwork compared to the standard setup.
Currently, this modification is accessible only on PC (Microsoft Windows). It is important to note that, as of early 2026, there are no officially tracked DLCs or standalone expansions associated with this specific mod package. The content is delivered as a unified modification package.
This modification leverages the established mechanics of its parent game—the movement, visual style, and basic interaction framework—but uses these elements as a canvas for its strategic innovations. While the atmosphere remains rooted in the isolated, tense setting, the introduction of the new account system and diverse gamemodes means that established player habits may need to be re-evaluated. It serves as a comprehensive overhaul for those seeking a deeper, more persistent strategic layer within the established framework.
