Among Us News

Hiya Crewmates!

The team has just released an update for Among Us, featuring some quality of life improvements and fixes. Here’s what you’ll see in version 2022.10.18, out now on all platforms!
[h2]Fun stuff: [/h2]

• Upcoming free VR Visor cosmetic drop! We’ve all been super excited about the new Among Us VR news: The game will be available on Meta Quest and Steam VR November 10, 2022! To commemorate the occasion, we’ll be dropping a free VR Visor cosmetic from November 1 – 30, 2022 so make sure you claim it before it disappears! Careful you don’t run into an Impostor while you wear one...
  
  
  
  
• Halloween Cosmicubes have returned to the store- is it a trick? Maybe a treat? Be sure to get yours by October 31, 2022!
  
• The Skeld and MIRA HQ are now decorated to celebrate the spook month – have fun!
  

[h2]Patch highlights:[/h2]

• Chewie pet now matches the color of your Crewmate. Yay more flavor!
  
  
  
  
• The map now shows your last location when an Emergency Meeting is called instead of where the emergency meeting is.
  
• Lobby names are now randomized in an effort to combat reports of toxicity using custom ones – we are actively working on creating game filters and further our reporting efforts in order to make sure you’re able to play the games you want! Please be patient with us as we improve the game.
  

Those are the game side updates! Keep reading for Krys’s bug zone report for the latest squashed bugs.

We’re getting closer and closer to the Hide n Seek release and let me tell you- I'm really excited for this game mode. The feelings through the studio are electric during playtests and we can’t wait to have you get your hands on it. It’s a bit spooky, chaotic and leads to some good laughs.

[h2]Merch Update[/h2]
Speaking of spooky- now's a great time to check out our new Halloween merch, available in our store now. Featuring a very metal t-shirt, a stylish Impostor shirt, DUM hat, a cozy beanie, bag, and even Halloween themed stickers. Be sure to get yourself a treat while supplies last!



Coming October 27 we’ll have hololive production merch in our store, including items like plushies, pins, posters, tees, and more. Keep an eye out to make sure you grab your fav VTuber's item before it sells out!

Alright! I’m done now but until later- finish those tasks, get some choccy milk, and maybe enjoy a nap!

See ya,

Dors


Psst. Not gone yet cause I wanted to remind y'all to please use our in-game reporting features if you see players engaging in bad behavior! This helps our team address these folks and take appropriate actions against them. If you need a refresher, here’s how to do it.



Henlo Crewmates!! Hope you’ve been having fun and getting stoked with what we have in store... 👀

In the meantime, we’ve got a little mini-update for you to whet your appetites. Mmmmm, delicious updates. Nutritious. Hearty. Just that perfect umami flavor. Um. Anyway.

• Please update your game if you've been experiencing Child Account issues, as we have been actively working on fixes for some bugs. If an update doesn’t help, please reach out to us at our Help Desk!
• Made Kick/Ban buttons easier to highlight in the lobby and during Meetings after players select “Play Again”
  
• Fixed a bug where the Friends List - Request Permission button couldn't be interacted with in the Blocked Players tab
  
• Players can now see the percentage completed within a Cosmicube
  
• Fixed a bug where completed Cosmicubes could be activated
  
• Fixed a bug where the Kill cooldown wasn't ticking down when the Settings menu is open
  
• The Manage Account link can now be selected using a controller
  
• [PC] Fixed hitbox of the Manage Account link when using a mouse
  
• [PC] Fixed a bug where the Kill cooldown wasn't ticking down when players ride on platforms/ladders
  

And that’s all for now! That was quite a list... Now I’m hungry. Will there ever be a DevLog that doesn’t mention food? Doubtful.

Happy lunching,

Krys🍖




Well, well, well. Look who’s back... it’s me. I’m back. Found a small collection for this update's fun zone! Be sure to check out our website for those!

I’m outta here before you think I’m the Impostor... I’m not... really. 

Gotta go- byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 

Dors

OooooOOooOOoo, it’s that time Ghostmates.
Time to get spooky in Among Us with some Halloween fun! The Skeld and MIRA HQ are decorated and ready for all your tricks and treats from October 18 through November 1st.

Along with the decorations, our Halloween themed Cosmicubes are back in the store too so your Crewmate can be just as spooky as you’d like while it runs away from its greatest fear: Impostors.
And we can’t have festivities like this without a little treat - Among Us will be 25% off as part of Steam’s Scream Fest Event!

Now’s a great time to get your fellow Crewmates and Impostors to hop in and betray one another have fun!

Hi Crewmates!


We just released the latest update to Among Us, featuring some more fixes and quality of life updates. Here’s what you can expect in version 2022.8.23, out now on all platforms!

Edit: Thank you for your patience today as we push through some new bugs. We're currently working on a fix to address the lag issues we're seeing when players leave a game in the middle of a match. It seems to be affecting Impostors and Guardian Angels.

Hoping to have a resolution soon!

Edit 8/25/2022: Thank you for your patience! The hotfix to address the lag issue is live and under v2022.8.24. Please be sure to update!

[h3]New stuff and patch highlights:[/h3]

• Food Cosmicubes! Spend your beans (and stars) on all new food themed cosmetics. You will look like an absolute snack. You may in fact look a little too delicious and be murdered by an Impostor but at least... uh.... hm.... Anyways it’s available now!
  

• Change the map from the lobby without restarting. I’ve seen you all be like “wow that took you long enough” and yeah! It sure has! What are you gonna do fight me???? (Please do not fight me, I am weak and cry easily.)
  
• New featured page on the store. A new way to display new or interesting Cosmicubes and cosmetics. These will have their own section at the top of the store!
  
• Star purchasing also have an updated tab with a shiny new look
  

• Beans and Pods multiplier SFX now tied to the SFX volume slider. Now you can control how loud you want your gains to be!
  

[h3]Other changes:[/h3]

• Can now close Announcements with the ESC key on PC
  
• Door logs now display player icon cosmetics
  
• Store and inventory changes:
  
• New store sorting: the store is now sorted from newest to oldest
  
• Visual indicator to show which cosmetics and Cosmicubes you’ve already purchased
  
• Added a limited time banner for future cosmetics & Cosmicubes that it applies to
  
• Sanctions and censoring changes:
  
• Sanctions now display correctly instead of a general error when trying to enter matchmaking
  

[h3]Before you’d see this:[/h3]


[h3]Now it’ll say something similar to this: [/h3]

• Links are now properly censored in chat
  
• Warnings are now issued for censored links
  
• Friends List and accounts:
  
• Friends List now displays in alphabetical order
  
• Win 10 - Players are now moved into their friend’s lobby when accepting invites from the game bar
  
• Users are properly signed into account if they are given account linking permissions
  

And those are the changes on the game side! If you want to see the bug fixes we’ve made (and we’ve made a bunch!) read Krys’ Bug Zone below to get the details.

We’re still working on Hide n Seek as our next big content update to the game, and a ton of progress is being made there. You might still see some fun collabs pop up in the meantime though!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Cheers,

Victoria





Hiya! Hope you’re all cooling off with a cold beverage in the Cafeteria.

Bug fixes were definitely a thing this time around, and we’re super happy we got to smash a bunch of outstanding bugs that were giving you grief.

But first, let me reach out to YOU and thank you for being such outstanding members of our community. Whenever there are instances of bad behavior in our game, you are quick to act and help our team address these issues and enact any appropriate actions. In case you need a refresher, here’s how you report someone in-game:

In the Lobby or during meetings, open the Chat.



Click on the Kick icon.



Select the player you want to report.



Click on Report.



Select the reason for the report.



Click on Confirm.

If someone is engaging in illegal activity, please use the in-game report function and send us an email at [email protected] with what you reported and your Among Us Account ID. We appreciate you!

Alrighty. On to the crunchy bugs. Let’s take a closer look at what we've addressed:

• Some hat cosmetics needed minor tweaks to display correctly
  
• Updated names on a few Airship Cosmetics
  
• Fixed cosmetics overrunning chat window when scrolling through messages
  
• Implement Login flow on iOS and Google Play (users 13 and younger) – users will be able to login with a Temporary Account
  
• Mira HQ – Vitals for Scientist now shows ‘Comms Sabotaged’ message when Impostor initiates Sabotage action
  
• Mira HQ – Fixed issue where colorblind text displayed in Door Log even if setting was inactive
  
• Friends List – Requests are now received correctly after adjusting the “Friend & Lobby Invites” option multiple times
  
• Fixed SFX audio on Empty Garbage task
  
• Fixed SFX track playing on music track during decontaminate task in The Airship
  
• Fixed missing animation frame of Twitch Glitch pet during idle animation
  
• Fixed character icon highlighting during Emergency Meetings
  
• Fixed issue where Colorblind Text and Streamer Mode settings were skipped when attempting to select with a controller while in active gameplay
  
• In-game bug reporting – This helps us Sloths and isn’t really anything you have to worry about, but the game is now able to better log any errors, so we have more insight on bugs
  
• Egypt Server Issues – Fix for network and connectivity for players in Egypt on all platforms
  

PHEW, speaking of cold beverages earlier, I could really go for some boba. Do you think Crewmates all hang out and drink boba in the Cafeteria? Is boba deadly in the hands of an Impostor? I could really go for some Impostor boba fanart...

Tapioca-ly yours,

Krys


Note from Victoria: Popping in here to unnecessarily tell you all my normal boba tea order is a roasted oolong milk tea with 30% sugar, no ice, with pudding. Tweet at us your normal drink orders!!



Congrats on making it down to the fun zone for August! I’m t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶b̶o̶ss̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶e̶v̶ ̶l̶o̶g̶ Dors (please don’t fight me either). Victoria and Krys covered lots of ground on our highlights and bug fixes, so I found a few fun pieces from the community! Be sure to check out our full dev log to see some really fun creations.

I'll be on the look out for more fun creations for us all to sink our teeth into but that's all for now, Crewmates! I'm off to get some Taro boba (with strawberry popping bubbles).

TTFN,
Dors

Hi Crewmates!

The next thing we’re working on are some general updates and improvements that didn’t make it in the last update. Will get you a full list upon release, but here are some things to look forward to:

• New Cosmicube! 👀 You’ve been wanting more cosmetics and ways to spend your Stars and Beans, and don’t worry, something is coming. It’s a secret for now but let’s just say it’ll be delicious.
  
• Automatic game error reporting. This is more of a backend fix that you won’t see, but it’s cool enough to note! Essentially we’re implementing a system that alerts us if certain platforms or devices are experiencing weird crashes or other errors, which helps us pinpoint bugs to fix more easily. One step closer to getting an in-game bug reporting feature, wooOOOoOOo.
  
• The ability to change the map in the lobby settings without having to leave and start a new game.
  
• Small store and inventory redesigns, bug fixes, and more improvements. Keep an eye out!
  

This will come out soon/at some point/in the future/eventually/one day. In the meantime, we have put out a hotfix in v2022.7.12 aimed at the networking issues for players in Egypt. If it goes well, it'll be pushed to other platforms.

After the next update, Hide n Seek is still the big update we’re working on getting out this year and let’s just say we have a lot planned for it heheheh.

In the meantime, have fun, play nice, sabotage those Crewmates!

Cheers,

Victoria





Hello dear Crewmates! I hope you’re looking forward to all the interstellar content we’ve got cookin’.

We had a few hiccups since our last log, whether it be server interruptions or some login issues, but things were wrangled quickly—in no small part because all of YOU were quick to let us know and give us all the information we needed to eject those bugs right into space. Thank you for being so patient and kind when it comes to that kinda stuff!

We are currently working hard to wrap up some weirdness involving Star purchasing and DLC, so please continue to let us know if you experience any problems related to these new things.

And for some awesome news: we now have a ✨shiny✨ new Help Center!! You can troubleshoot common issues here, learn more about our game, and use our super helpful Support Ticket feature. This ensures that if you have an issue, we get as much problem-solving info from you as possible from the get-go—which means we can help you much faster!!



That’s about it from me. Thanks for reading, as always!

Krys





Hiya Crewmates! Dors here with more for the Fun Zone!

Been having a lot of fun in our Discord with an emoji contest and even playing the best game of Among Us with members of the Discord. Much betrayal was had and we’re just getting started!

If you haven’t joined for any of the above events or are looking for a space to share some fanart, chaotic conversations, or looking for fellow Crewmates to betray play with, consider joining.

Also, if you haven't peeped our official Tiktok, you might see a new face making content- me! Don't worry. I'm not playing an Impostor. Maybe.

We had quite a few great art finds. Check out the full dev log to see. Thanks for reading, Crewmates!
TTFN,
Dors
