I have a confession: I have double-dipped on Among Us more times than I can count. The social deduction chaos, the tiny bean crewmates, and the endless arguments over 'Where?' have kept me coming back since the early days. So when Maximum Games announced not one, not two, but three physical collector's editions of the smash hit, I felt like I had been handed a stack of emergency tasks. The best part? None of these editions are imposters. Each one is a real, tangible package, and in 2026 they are heading to retail later this year. Here is my full breakdown, from the budget-friendly Cremate Edition to the overstuffed Ejected Edition.
What Every Edition Includes
Every single edition starts with the same core payload. Maximum Games is including a copy of the game as well as DLC, including exclusive DLC. That means you are not just buying a box of trinkets; you are getting playable content. Alongside that, each edition comes with a lenticular case, a sticker sheet, a holographic access card, a Skeld map poster, and a code for PC/phone wallpapers. As a collector, I appreciate that even the cheapest tier does not feel empty. The lenticular case is especially fun because it shifts between crewmate and imposter imagery, and the Skeld map poster is a nostalgic nod to the original map that started it all.
Here is a quick comparison table to see how the three editions stack up:
| Edition | Price | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Cremate Edition | $29.99 | All core items, nothing else |
| Imposter Edition | $49.99 | Core items plus crewmate vs imposter lanyard, purple crewmate plush, enamel spinner pin, and exclusive box |
| Ejected Edition | $89.99 | Core items plus everything from Imposter Edition, plus crewmate fleece blanket, red imposter beanie, and Ejected Edition box |
The Cremate Edition - $29.99
At $29.99, the Among Us: Cremate Edition is the entry point. It includes all the goodies mentioned above and nothing else. If you are a minimalist, a budget-conscious fan, or someone who simply wants the game and the basic collectibles without a shelf-hogging box, this is your best bet. I see this as the 'just the essentials' edition. The name 'Cremate' is darkly funny, referencing the dead body report, but the contents are straightforward. It is also the easiest one to justify as a gift for a friend who plays on mobile and wants a physical keepsake. For me, it is a solid starter kit, but it may leave collectors wanting more.
The Imposter Edition - $49.99
The Among Us: Imposter Edition costs $49.99 and adds a crewmate vs imposter lanyard, a purple crewmate plush, an enamel spinner pin, and an exclusive box to hold it all. For me, this is the sweet spot. The purple crewmate plush is adorable, and the lanyard is perfect for conventions or LAN parties. The enamel spinner pin adds a fidgety, wearable piece of Among Us flair. The exclusive box also means you can display the whole set without losing the smaller items. If you have ever wanted to show off your allegiance to the crew while secretly plotting a vent kill, this edition speaks your language. It feels like the most balanced package between price and exclusive extras.
The Ejected Edition - $89.99
Finally, the Among Us: Ejected Edition is the premium option at $89.99. It includes everything already mentioned, plus a crewmate fleece blanket, a red imposter beanie, and an Ejected Edition box. This is the edition for the superfan who wants to wrap themselves in crewmate comfort while wearing an imposter beanie. The fleece blanket is a practical item, especially for long gaming sessions or cold convention halls. The red imposter beanie is a bold statement piece. And the Ejected Edition box ties the whole collection together. If you have the shelf space and the budget, this is the ultimate physical tribute to the game. I can already imagine cozying up under the blanket while accusing my friends of being sus.
Which Edition Appeals to Me Most?
If I had to pick only one, I would choose the Imposter Edition. The purple crewmate plush and spinner pin feel like the best balance of price and exclusive extras. However, the Ejected Edition is tempting because the blanket and beanie are actually useful. The Cremate Edition is perfect for someone who wants the base collectibles without the extras. In 2026, physical collector's editions are becoming rarer, so seeing Maximum Games support Among Us with three tiers is a pleasant surprise. It also gives new players a chance to own a piece of the phenomenon, and veteran players a reason to double-dip again.
Release and Final Thoughts
All three editions are hitting retail later this year. I plan to keep an eye on preorders and possibly grab the Imposter Edition first, then decide if I need the Ejected Edition. If you are on the fence, ask yourself: do you want the basics, the plush and pin, or the blanket and beanie? There is no wrong answer, as long as you are not the imposter. 😄
