Among Us doesn’t feature any kind of friend list, so learning how to join the same game as your mates is important. Thankfully, if isn’t too much work, either.
To play with friends in Among Us, you first need one player to host a game. Check that everyone is in the same region (bottom right of the screen), then select the Online option and click the Create Game button under the Host section at the top of the screen. This will give you some options about the game including the map, max player count, and the maximum number of Imposters the game can support. Once you’re happy with those settings, click Confirm and you’ll be loaded into an empty lobby.

Now that the lobby is up and running, you should see a six-letter code at the bottom of the screen, as highlighted above. Tell this to your friends, as they need it to join. Anyone who wants access to the lobby will now need to choose Online, then click the Enter Code section under Private. Type the code in and click the arrow or hit Enter and you’ll connect to the corresponding lobby. You can also open your game up to public if you don't mind random players being added in as well.
It’s worth noting that Among Us has faced some server issues during busy periods, so if you’re getting error messages while trying to create or join a lobby, just keep trying and you’ll get in eventually (assuming the code is correct).
