Among Us VR 2023 Roadmap

It’s almost the end of the year, Crewmates!! 🥳🥳🥳

Before we head out for our end of the year holiday break, we’re thrilled to share some of our exciting plans for 2023. Of course, we can’t spill all the beans, but here’s a first glance at what’s to come.



We’ve been actively listening to all of your feedback and it has helped us prioritize our goals for 2023. Already, we’ve adjusted under-the-vent matchmaking processes in response to your reports of slow and frustrating wait times when playing with your friends — and even more quality of life improvements are underway! Our main priorities that are coming up are 🔧 Custom Lobby Settings 🔧, 📢 In-Game Reporting 📢, and 🎧 Voice Chat Moderation 🎧.

First and foremost, a large (and vocal) amount of you want to be able to customize your matches. We’re happy to announce that 🔧 Custom Lobby Settings 🔧 are coming! You’ll have to stay tuned for the specifics, but know we’re working diligently to give you the power to play how you want.

Another top priority for us is player safety. As so, major improvements to our moderation processes are on its way in early 2023. Not only will we be implementing 📢 In-Game Reporting 📢 tools for players to more easily identify, report, and eject problematic beans — but we are also implementing 🎧 Voice Chat Moderation 🎧 to further keep you beans protected!

In the meantime, we encourage you to continue utilizing our Official Support Form for player reporting. And, reminder, this is also a wonderful tool you can use to share any bug reports or feedback directly with our development team! We’re hungry to hear what’s important to you for the future of Among Us VR, so please let us know!

That’s all for now, beans. ✨✨✨

Patch 1.5 - Bug Fix Update - Notes

A new update is available! (Don’t worry, this isn’t the big one… please see below on Patch 2)
We made a change to the matchmaking backend that we hope will solve some of the long waits you've been seeing when trying to switch your private lobby to a public one.

We’ve been seeing Crewmates have had to wait as long as ten minutes for their private matches to become public after they click the button. We hope this update will make this switch happen faster. MUCH faster.

Reminder, here's how to play a game with your friends:
  • Create a private lobby by hosting a match and share the lobby code with your friends.
  • Once all of your friends have shown up, convert the lobby to a public lobby via the button on the lobby screen.
  • Wait for this change to go into effect (*hopefully significantly LESS time than before!*), and then enjoy as multiple new beans pop into the cafeteria ready for deception!

We’re keeping our bean fingers crossed that this hot fix worked.
But, let us know! If you continue to experience long wait times OR better yet if you DON’T, feel free to let us know in the official Among Us VR Discord server!

REMINDER: This is an update solely based on matchmaking since we want to get this out to you beans ASAP. A LARGE Patch, what we’re calling Patch 2, is coming mid-December as mentioned in our #developer-messages post on our Discord.

Stay safe, have fun, and don’t be suspicious!

[h2]👾👾👾 BUG FIXES 👾👾👾[/h2]
Being 100% real with you all right now: this is a very small update we already had built-in and waiting to go after launch. The big features of this update nullify some sneaky cheater tactics; we added some fixes to exploits noticed during our Beta Tests.

I know what you’re thinking. “That’s it?! Are you even listening to our complaints?!
Let me assure you, we hear you all loud and clear. And we’re hard at work making adjustments to the game to address your biggest concerns. In fact — the next patch is coming soon (in mid-December!), and we assure you it’ll be worth the wait!

But, before we push these changes into the main game… we thought you might want to help us test…

[h2]✨✨✨ NEW OPEN BETA CHANNEL ✨✨✨[/h2]
… so, we’re adding an Open Beta channel that you can opt into and live experience our bug fixes! With how integral our original Beta Testers were in helping us identify issues and testing… with thought this would be a win-win solution!

Opting into the Open Beta channel will allow you to play on a different build of the game where the Dev Team is actively working on addressing known bugs. Meaning, you may just get a sneak peak at some fixes before they go completely public — in fact, our first priority test will revolve around an issue we’ve seen a number of you reporting: decreasing the wait time to fill public lobbies (specifically when changing from private to public!).

Here’s how to opt in:
  1. Right-Click Among Us VR in your Library and select Properties
  2. On the BETAS tab, change the dropdown from None to Beta
  3. You may need to exit (not minimize) Steam and reopen to trigger the update
This is also totally optional~! So no pressure!
Bug fixes will be implemented into the base game after we’ve solidified they are working. So, those staying in the regular build will be assured the most stable option — and it’ll be updated accordingly!
