Why Play Among Us With No Name?
The only real advantage to playing with no name is to be a bit more difficult to notice or identify while you’re playing. Players accustomed to seeing a recognizable name above other players’ heads may become confused and gloss over a player with no name. It may make it easier for you to kill other players when you’re an imposter or make imposters more likely to pass over you.
However, there are limits to the usefulness of playing with no name. While it may help a bit during a fast-paced game, you won’t fool attentive players. Other players can still call you out based on your color, the fact that you have no name, or by describing the dot or other special character you’ve used.
Why Can’t You Play Among Us Online With No Name?
Among Us developer Innersloth patched out the ability to play with a blank name in the game’s iOS and Android versions. The Windows version only allows names to contain letters and numbers. If the iOS and Android versions ever receive the same treatment, the option to play Among Us with a blank name or a dot for a name will be gone from the game altogether.
