Although the trends show a steep rise in Among Us’ interest, Ryan replied to the user saying that it’s still nowhere close to how Minecraft had performed. He also added that even Fortnite couldn’t manage to equal Minecraft in terms of performance on the platform in 2019.

Regardless of these comparisons, one has to keep in mind that Among Us is developed by individual developers. They have a really small team working on the game. Therefore, managing to reach such a milestone is commendable.
