League of Legends (LoL), commonly referred to as League, is a 2009 multiplayer

online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games. Inspired by
Defense of the Ancients, a custom map for Warcraft III, Riot's founders sought to
develop a stand-alone game in the same genre. Since its release in October 2009,
League has been free-to-play and is monetized through purchasable character
customization. The game is available for Microsoft Windows and macOS.
Valorant is a free-to-play first-person hero shooter developed and published by
Riot Games, for Microsoft Windows. Teased under the codename Project A in October
2019, the game began a closed beta period with limited access on April 7, 2020,
followed by a release on June 2, 2020. The development of the game started in 2014.
Valorant takes inspiration from the Counter-Strike series of tactical shooters,
borrowing several mechanics such as the buy menu, spray patterns, and inaccuracy
while moving.
Among Us[c] is a 2018 online multiplayer, social deduction game developed and
published by American game studio Innersloth. The game was inspired by the party
game Mafia[10][11] and the science fiction horror film The Thing.[11] The game
allows for cross-platform play, first released on iOS and Android devices in June
2018 and on Windows later that year in November. The game was then ported to the
Nintendo Switch in December 2020, and on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One
and Xbox Series X/S in December 2021. While the game was initially released in 2018
to little mainstream attention, it received a massive influx of popularity in 2020
due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it. A separate VR
version of the game, Among Us VR, was released for Meta Quest 2, SteamVR, and
PlayStation VR, developed by Schell Games.

Among Us takes place in space-themed settings where players are colorful armless
cartoon astronauts shaped like jellybeans; Each player takes on one of two roles:
most are Crewmates, but a one to three play Impostors,[d] which appear identical to
Crewmates. The goal of the Crewmates is to either identify and vote out the
Impostors, or to complete all the tasks around the map; the goal of the Impostors
is to covertly sabotage the mission either by killing the Crewmates before they
complete all their tasks or by triggering a disaster that is not resolved in time.
