Among Us crosses over with three different universes today, releasing new skins based on Halo, Ratchet & Clank, and Ghostface from the Scream franchise. Players across the board can acquire the famous slasher simply by logging on, while fans on Xbox and PlayStation can get their respective platform mascots on their versions only. The Halo bundle is also available for Microsoft Store players, which will be relevant mostly to anyone playing Among Us on PC via Game Pass.

Adding Master Chief armor and a Guilty Spark pet to the social deduction phenomenon is appropriate, as the Halo TV show is just starting its Paramount+ run. The show stars Pablo Schreiber as the famous space marine and takes place in a timeline parallel to the story told in the games. While fans have decried some of the creative decisions with the program, most outside of the gaming sphere have found it a serviceable piece of sci-fi fit for the streaming era.

The Scream costume fits in less with Among Us‘ space setting, but it does make sense as far as timing. The official tweet about the Ghostface skin advertises that this past January’s Scream is headed to home media on April 5, making the whole deal a convenient marketing move that benefits everyone. It’s not clear if anything is happening in the world of Ratchet & Clank to warrant a new skin since Insomniac Games has only announced its Wolverine and Spider-Man 2 titles, but it’s likely that players on PlayStation won’t mind the free content drop that was announced alongside the port.
