Among Us 3D: VR News

Send up the Bean Signal. 🔦 Jump in the Bean-mobile. 🔑 Practice your gruff voice. 💀 DUM Justice, our Limited Time Event of the summer, has officially landed! 💥

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
DUM Justice is a love letter to both you, our longtime Among Us 3D: VR players, as well as our newest players who aren't in headset. 💌 You may remember the origin story begins when the event ran back in June 2024. Well, it was consistently voted as one of the most popular events among our VR Crewmates! So, much like your favorite comic book character, we brought it back from the dead 👼 so every bean can now experience (or re-experience 🎉) the superhero power fantasy chaos!


The event itself consists of ⚖️ DUM Justice Mode ⚖️, a preset game mode that you can use to swoop right into the action from the main menu. This mode enables the 💀 Vigilante role 💀 — a Crewmate with their very own Kill ability! That's right! The Vigilante takes justice into their own hands and are able to use their Kill ability on ANYONE. Friend OR foe. 💥

This adds a layer of complexity to the next Emergency Meeting 🚨. Are you about to vote out the Impostor who killed Yellow in Electrical… or are they actually the Vigilante? 😰 Do you kill the Bean you discovered right next to the body or run to report them instead? 😱 Reflexes need to be as super as your deductive reasoning to come out on top!

And while DUM Justice will eventually go away like before, the Vigilante role is here to stay this time — permanently. 🎉 You'll be able to add this bringer of chaos into custom lobbies, even after the event ends.


Sidekicking the Vigilante role, we're also adding some NEW spandex-fueled cosmetics so you can look as super as you feel:

• Vigilante Mask: Year One hat - Every hero needs an origin story. Create yours (or just indiscriminately kill everyone until you get ejected...that works, too)
  
• Digits of Doom gloves - Perfect for superheroes, pro wrestlers, and people whose first instinct it to punch the drywall
  
• Caped Crewsader skin - Your new cape is 25% less likely to get caught in the automatic doors

Note: Wearing these cosmetics does not guarantee or increase your likelihood of getting the Vigilante role.
We pleased to point out that these new cosmetics pair perfectly with the original DUM Duo cosmetics, the Vigilante Hood and Vigilante Gloves, if you picked those up last time!

Also new to the store is the 🪐 Astro Apparel 🪐 bundle, consisting of the just-a-tad-too-small Spacewalk hat and interstellar-approved Astronaught skin. It begs the question... is the Bean wearing a spacesuit or is that just the Bean itself?

BONUS! You also brought in enough Wishlists for our Powered By Wishlists Challenge to earn a FREE hat for 👏 every 👏 single 👏 bean 👏 — the VR Headset. This prize cosmetic is now available in everyone's wardrobe, regardless if you're playing in or out of headset! 🥳


Justice Launch Event 🌟 featuring bails, Cailee, ShawnCam, TriHouse, VNCEOfficial, and VR Central — over on our Steam page!

Check out the stream or come hang out with our Schell Games crew in chat. We’d love to see you there! 

Stay suspicious, Beans!

Hey there, beans!

In just seven days, on May 29, 2025, our next Limited Time Event emerges from the shadows with a vengeance. Get ready to take justice into your own hands... again! 💥 It's time to suit up for DUM Justice!


DUM Justice brings the Vigilante role out of the shadows and back into the arena. 🥊 Equipped with their own Kill ability, the Vigilante fights on Team Crewmate for love 💗, justice ⚖️, and vengeance ☠️. But, be warned — with great power comes great responsi-bean-ity! 🕸️ A Vigilante's Kill ability can be performed on ANY bean, Crewmate OR Impostor! 😱



You may recognize the Vigilante role from last year. DUM Justice ran as a Limited Time Event back in the Among Us VR days, before the rebrand. ⌛ We've heard your requests to bring the role back, and so... we're answering the call and upping the ante. 😤

[h3]✨ The Vigilante permanently joins the role roster this time! ✨[/h3]

That's right! While you'll be able to hop into our preset DUM Justice lobbies throughout this event, you'll also be able to customize your own lobbies and integrate the Vigilante role into them how you see fit. For good! (Or for evil. The choice is yours!)

💀 We're also upgrading the suit and releasing a new Vigilante cosmetic set — The Masked Zinger Bundle! Take on injustice with the Vigilante Mask: Year One hat, Digits of Doom gloves, and Caped Crewsader skin. And don't worry — your secret identity is safe, because wearing these items does not guarantee you the Vigilante role.


Lastly, we want to take a moment to address the Impostor in the vent.

Alongside our upcoming content releases, we're working diligently on resolutions for performance issues, bug fixes, reviewing our moderation tools, and evaluating additional opportunities to help improve your experience in the game. Already under consideration are a number of improvements that we think will really help address your concerns. We are looking forward to being able to share more specific details for these updates soon.

It's important to us that you enjoy your time with Among Us 3D. So, we greatly appreciate the care and thought that you, our community, put into an experience that we all love. Our dev team is looking forward to continuing to refine, improve, and expand Among Us 3D.

💥 Suit up as Vigilante on May 29, 2025!

[h2]INTRODUCING TAG MODE[/h2]

    • Vent

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]
With the launch of Among Us 3D, we have a handful of bugs and issues that made their way into this build of the game. We are actively working to address these issues and encourage players to contact our support channels on any additional issues they may encounter.

• Performance on Meta Quest 2
  • Performance may be affected with multiplayer game modes, causing players to dip below 72 frames per second.
    
  • This issue is most common while in Tag Mode and/or on Meta Quest 2 headsets.
    
  • We have identified the core issue, and are working on an additional patch to directly fix these issues.
• Host Migration Issues
  • Players may be sent to the Main Menu instead of the lobby in the event that a host leaves the original lobby.
    
  • Very rarely that player will need to reset their game if the Main Menu UI doesn’t appear.
• Invisible Sabotage Arrows
  • The visual indicators leading Impostors to Sabotages can sometimes display improperly or not at all

To add to the excitement of launch, we're adding a challenge to your Task List:

[h3]Introducing the Powered By Wishlists Challenge! 🚀[/h3]

We can't wait for the onslaught of new beans joining the crew on May 6th!

Stay suspicious,

Don't call an Emergency Meeting! Starting April 10, 2025, Among Us VR will officially rebrand as Among Us 3D: VR. You'll see that name change reflected on the store and in-game in just a few day's time. All aboard the hype train!

Take a look at the trailer, and then we'll answer all your questions!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]AHHH PANIC What do I need to do? 😱[/h2]
Breathe! Among Us 3D is just a name change. You can still play in your VR headset of choice just like before, and there's nothing else you have to do or buy for this to happen. Once Among Us 3D launches for PC, you'll get access to everything automatically.

As a quick reminder: Among Us 3D (including Among Us 3D: VR) is not compatible with the original Among Us.

[h2]I have so many Stardust questions! 🌠 Where do Stardust babies come from?[/h2]

Ok, so we can't help with that question 🍼, but we did make a whole FAQ just for Stardust! Among Us 3D players in VR will have the ability to purchase Stardust starting April 10, 2025. So you will actually be able to access the new cosmetics and in-game store before anyone else. Just a perk of being an early adopter. You're welcome.

Plus, all of your previously-purchased cosmetics will be available in your Wardrobe, so you'll never lose your iconic look. 😎

🚨 Shop smart: Stardust purchased in Among Us 3D or Among Us 3D: VR can not be used to purchased items in the original Among Us. 🚨


[h2]What else is coming soon? ⌛ Please, I read this far, tell me something neat[/h2]

The new name is great, but the real benefit to our players is all of the cool new stuff you're going to get for free when Among Us 3D launches on PC. That includes:

• A new, permanent mode featuring the Infected 💚
  
• 💬 Proximity voice chat (yes, it's staying!)
  
• New tasks and fun things to do in lobbies (like the 📸 photo functionality in the trailer)
  
• A massive new player base 🖥️ to matchmake with
  
• Access to 🎉 all future limited-time events

We hope you're as excited for these updates as we are.

Stay suspicious!
