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!

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
Small Patch Notes - v2022.7.12
Hi Crewmates!
Minor update just went out for version 2022.7.12 to fix networking and connectivity issues for players in Egypt. We're testing this out on PC versions of the game, and further fixes will come out to other platforms soon.
Thanks for playing!
Dors (totally not an Impostor of Victoria)
Bug Bashing Bonanza Update
Hi Crewmates!
No long preamble here – I have lots to share! Our team worked SO HARD and we managed to fix 100+ issues that were bothering you in Among Us. Here’s a big list of most of them, so make sure you’re update to version 2022.6.21, now out on all platforms.
First up: we’ve been listening to you! I know you’ve all wanted a lot of things improved in the game and I am happy to say we’ve changed some things to hopefully make your lives easier.
Quality of Life Improvements & Implemented Community Suggestions
Added a Streamer Mode. When active, room codes do not display in the lobby and is replaced by “Click to copy”. This can be toggled on or off in the General Settings.
Added Colorblind Settings. When active, the names of the colors will appear next to the players during meetings, and below the player during gameplay.
Account linking is back. Follow the in-game instructions carefully as we’ve removed Guest Accounts, but it should make it an easier process. More information on the new Account Linking here.
Players are now able to view the map from the voting screen.
Friends List – The player’s last display name will appear above a player’s Friend Code.
We definitely have wayyyy more planned in future, so keep playing the game and letting us know how you feel (nicely, pleaseeee) and I promise we’ll be listening.
But I’m not done this post yet – now for the some of the many fixes which made it into the game.
Biggest Fixes
Loading screen now waits for every player in the lobby when loading into a round
Kills can no longer happen when an Emergency Meeting is being called
Players in game should no longer randomly lose the ability to interact with map, complete tasks, or kills
Quick Chat wheel can be used as intended while a task (Download Data / Upload Data) is being completed. Players will no longer be forced to close and re-open chat
Smooth Talker achievement can now be unlocked if the second to last Crewmate leaves the game
Players should no longer see the ‘Sure is taking a while’ error message when launching Among Us
Friend Codes no longer duplicate across all players when player and host rejoin lobby
Resolved desync issue when player reports body while climbing ladder
Redeem pop up message for Scream cosmetics no longer prompts. Redemption period for this cosmetic has passed!
Players will no longer see ‘Sure is taking a while’ if game is set to languages other than English
Players are now able to unlock the Circumventor achievement
Entering the correct date of birth no longer registers the account as age 0
Added the Language server filter to the settings in the Lobby
These are just a few of the fixes. For the entire list of fixes check out our dev log.
Thanks for being understanding about how we needed to take this time to really improve the game. Your feedback means a ton to us, and we all wanted to make sure we could start really chipping away at things that bothered you, even if it meant having to put a pause on some new content. That being said, new content is still on the horizon, so watch out!
A moment to celebrate!
June 15 was a special day for Amongis… AmongUses… AmongUs-s-sses? Now matter the plural form- Among Us has turned 4!
As part of our celebration we have brand new merch. We have the full suite of Crewmate colors, keycaps, and a bunch of new pins too. Grab yours at our store quick.
Okay now I’m actually done. Now to the rest of the dev log, onto you Krys!
Cheers,
Victoria
Howdy!!! Congrats on trudging on through our expansive bugs crushed list—as you can see, we’ve been very busy making some important quality of life changes for YOU, friends! Yes, you. And you. You, too! Er, maybe not you over there.
Anyway! Thanks so much for reading my last Bug Zone—lots of you contacted us to get your DLC that may have fallen through the cracks when we made some account updates. If you’re still having DLC/purchases issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
That’s all from me. Til next time, Crewmates!
Hi everyone! I’m Dors – the new community manager here at Innersloth! Victoria alluded to me in last month’s update. For the most part you’ll see me around Tiktok and Discord, but I’m no stranger to Twitter and Reddit either.
Beyond helping with the social channels and running numbers, I’m also gonna be looking into community events, featuring fan art and creations in the dev log!
We call it the COMMUNITY FUN ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!
To all of you out there who are having fun and sharing your Among Us themed creations and finds- I’ll be on the look out and trying to feature you here in our dev logs if I find your work. Keep using those fan art tags!
Alright so I definitely missed doing an April dev log completely. Shh. Don’t tell anyone. I was busy cleaning out the vents.
Before we look at the updates, wanted to let you all know that the Scream cosmetic redemption period is now over! Thanks to everyone who participated!
This one is a shorter dev log as we prepare for our big bug crunch and quality of life update. As I mentioned in the previous post, this next update isn’t about new content, but on making sure Among Us is given the time and care it needs to function smoothly.
We’ve been trying to meet everyone’s demands and add new content constantly. This meant other things have slipped through the cracks so the next update will be all about fixes – big kudos to our producer Kristi for making it all come together.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - thank you so much for sticking with us! We appreciate the patience and encouragement!
So far, we have 72(!!!) confirmed bug fixes, we’ll be adding some changes to accounts, and over 30 more things are currently being tested to see if they’ll make it into the update. Confirmed fixes and improvements include things like:
Fixing 'Sure is taking a while' Offline error message when launching the game
Cosmetic layering issues
Rework of the age submission process
Added the ability to view the map from the voting screen (no more forgetting where you were, hooray!)
Friends List improvements
Of course, there’s much more than that, but I’ll give you a full list once the update is out!
There are other fun things happening too, but like always I am sworn to secrecy and must keep it stuffed in a vent until the time comes.
Also – we have a new community manager on board! You’ll see Dors writing these dev logs at some point, so make sure you’re nice and friendly and not murder-y when you see him come around. But for now – let's go to Krys for the all- important Bug Zone updates.
Cheers,
Victoria
Greetings and happy spring (or fall, or whatever your earthly time zone deems true), Crewmates! It’s a short Bugdate (get it? Bug Update? No? OK) this dev log, so let’s get right to it:
Everyone who submitted a request to Support to have their DLC regranted (and provided proof of purchase) should now have their stuff! If you don’t, please email logs@innersloth.com with a screenshot of your Account ID and your proof of purchase and we’ll take care of that for you ASAP.
Since Friends List rolled out, we are aware that some of you have had issues verifying your age so that you can use this feature. It’s important to note that we don’t have a choice when it comes to the age verification requirement – the ~*government*~ needs to make sure that we’re keeping our younger players safe and that they have their parent/guardian’s permission to play! We really appreciate your patience and understanding when it comes to age verification. If you have any issues with SuperAwesome’s age verification process, feel free to email us at support@innersloth.com. You can read more about SuperAwesome and our Privacy Policy here too.
That’s it for now. Thanks everyone!!
Among Us Horse Mode...? 🐎
Hi Horsemates?
One year ago on Twitter, we asked: what if Crewmates looked like this? And this year for April Fools, we no longer need to ask "what if?" Now we can say: "Ha ha wait OH NO STOP."
Among Us Horse Mode is live NOW!
[previewyoutube="TF1xSVVewUU;full"]
That's right - for one day only as part of our April Fools celebration, we are launching Among Us Horse Mode. This is a free update that will disappear on April 2, 12AM UTC (that's April 1, 8pm EST), so make sure you hop on and launch the game to try it out now - it'll automatically appear if you're on the latest version.
The chaos doesn't stop there - we've also launched an entire cursed Among Us merch line for our April Fools update, starting tomorrow. These are extremely limited edition items, so get yours while you can! There may also be some weird Impostor items on the store... don't let them fool you.
You can finally have friends in Among Us! (...Or enemies, depending on how heated your gameplay session goes.)
[previewyoutube="EDUE5SBmwio;full"]
Friends List
Here are all the Friends List features you can expect from this free update, v2022.3.29:
A unique friend code
Ability to send and receive friend requests (duh)
Invite friends to your own lobby
See who you recently played with
Ability to block players
Ability to show/hide your Friend Code (good for anyone streaming!)
Ability to turn off/on lobby invite notifications (toggle this in the game Settings)
Notes about the Friends List:
No offline/online status for friends yet
You can turn on/off lobby notifications
Child accounts will need additional permissions from their parent/guardian to access their Friends List
But that’s not it! Here are some other things you can expect with this update:
Removed the ability to link/unlink existing accounts – this is temporary! We need to fix up the system here since we’ve heard it can be a confusing process, so for now we are turning this feature off until the next update.
Screen Shake option can now be toggled On and Off
Cosmetics are arranged in a different order
New Items
You’ve waited and they’re finally here – new collab cosmetics just dropped!
Ghostface Cosmetics:
Scream Mask
Scream Robes
You can get these by simply logging onto Among Us before April 30th to get these cosmetics automatically added to your inventory. And yes, they’re free! :D
April Fools Day
Watch out for April 1st
😊
heheheheheheh
Hope you enjoy the new feature! As a reminder, for the next update we’re taking a step back and focusing on fixing a bunch of bugs and improving the flow of the game. Basically: don’t expect new content for the next update.
As much as we know how excited you all get about new in-game features, we really want to make sure Among Us is given the time and care it needs to function smoothly. We’ve really been playing catch up and trying to meet everyone’s demands, but in that process things have slipped that we want to improve. I’ve said this a billion times but seriously – thank you so much for sticking with us, the patience, and the encouragement. YOU THE BEST CREW I COULD ASK FOR. (Until you rudely eject me into space.)
Okay byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Victoria
Hello all! It's everyone's favorite (?) bug smusher. Though to be fair, I don't really smush the bugs, I just take a magnifying glass to stare at the bug before and after the smushing occurs, adjusting my glasses like some megane anime villain as I do. And then I take a paper towel and gently remove the smush. And then, um, we never talk about the bug or the smushing that occurred ever again. ...AnywAY AHAHAAH LET'S TALK ABOUT BUGS SHALL WEfjkaLDfsdgjkl
Known bugs from this Friends List update - We're currently aware of some release bugs that are present in this new update (v2022.3.29). We will be working on getting these fixed, but for now, they are present in the new build. The biggest ones are noted on our site.
DLC Grants Ongoing - Account linking borked some accounts in November, this is true. We have been steadily and diligently rolling out grants to those of you who lose your DLC, and a huuuge chunk have been resolved at this point. As I said in the last Bug Corner, this is a manual process that takes time, so we definitely appreciate your patience!
SSL Bug - this was a funny little bug that our backend programmers took a flyswatter to. It was a few days of disrupted play, but all should be well now!
Account Reset Bug - we know this has been happening to a fair number of you, and we hope that the changes to account linking should resolve this. As always, contact support@innersloth.com if you're still having account/inventory issues.
Age Verification - We partnered with SuperAwesome in 2021 to implement an age verification process that makes it so our younger players have a safe and fun experience playing Among Us. This process isn't foolproof (we err on the side of safety), and sometimes our adult players end up being asked to verify their age if they enter their birth year incorrectly. Please know that we hear your feedback, and we are hoping to streamline this process soon.
Thanks for reading - see you next time!!

Friends List Progress | Dev Log
Hi Crewmates!
The team has been steadily working on our Roadmap, which you might’ve seen includes the Friends List update and quality of life improvements.
The Friends List is on track and looking good! We can’t wait for people to be able to finally keep track of all the neat beans they murder. The Friends List features will include:
A unique friend code
Ability to send and receive friend requests (duh)
Invite friends to your own lobby
See who you recently played with
Ability to block players
As a heads up, to make sure everything is streamlined works properly, we will temporarily stop the ability to link existing accounts together when the Friend’s List update launches. It’ll be fixed in a future update though! So consider this your early note to create an account if you haven’t yet already! You’ll know if you have a full account if the tab is highlighted in green (not orange.) Another easy way to see if you have a full account is if you have access to free chat or access to it if you're on a kids account. Remember you can reach out to support@innersloth.com if you have any issues with accounts!
I do have some fun sneak peeks of how the Friends List are going though – check it out!
Now to address the quality of life changes – those are going to be pushed into a different update. We wanted to improve a bunch of aspects of the game flow like Cosmicubes, chat, and other UX, but honestly we overstretched how much we could get into the next update. The number of platforms we’re now on, plus the safety complications of a friends list that works across all of these is a FUN time. (Not fun.) So what we want to do is focus on one thing at a time right now.
Basically, after Friends List is out, we’re taking a short break from pushing out new gameplay content to focus on a bug squashing update. We’ve really felt the pressure of trying to launch content updates because we know that’s what you’re excited about, but honestly, we want to really dig into some of the bugs that have been... Well, bugging you. Heh. Plus, we’ve been hiring more programmers on the team, so hopefully the bug squashing will be even faster!
And after that...? Maybe some hide n seek. 🙈
Also! We’re introducing a new fun section into the monthly dev logs. We want to keep you informed of all the bug progress we make and/or are still working on, so from now on the monthly dev logs will include a nice section from Krys, our Player Support manager!
That’s it from my end though, see y’all around.
Victoria
Hello Crewmates! Krys here from Player Support -- I wish I could say I’m like the exterminator around here, but I’m deathly afraid of bugs IRL (and in game, let’s be real). HOWEVER! I’m going to put on a brave face today and give all of you a few updates:
Reliable packet issues - This is something we’ve been chipping away at for some time, and we’re sorry that some of you are still experiencing the reliable packet error message. We’re working tirelessly to find a solution to this problem! If you’re on Steam, we’re testing out a build (v.2022.2.24s) to see how much this alleviates the problems, and when it’s good to go we’ll work on a patch for all our other platforms.
Missing DLC/Stars - The changes we made to account linking in November did unfortunately cause some issues with some players’ inventories. Reach out to support@innersloth.com if you are experiencing this problem! If you’ve gotten in touch with our support helpdesk, we’ve taken note and are manually granting back DLC if you’ve provided proof of purchase and your Among Us account ID. As this process is manual, it does take some time, so we are forever grateful for your patience!
We anticipate smooth sailing for our Friends List update, but if anyone encounters anything strange, please do reach out to Support! Helping you with bugs helps us!
Krys
Small Patch Notes - v2022.2.23s
Hi Crewmates!
Another small patch note for v2022.2.23s. This is a Steam-only update:
Some reliable packet issues fixed for some users in some cases
Improved reliable packet error reporting
Please ensure you are on the latest version to get the fixes. If you are still experiencing problems connecting, let us know by contacting support@innersloth(.)com with your version number and the error message you're getting!
Thanks. <3
- Victoria
Small Patch Notes - v.2022.2.8s
Hi Crewmates!
A teeny patch note for v.2022.2.8s. This is a Steam-only update for general server stability improvements!
Please ensure you are on the latest version to get the fixes. It should resolve connectivity issues some players are facing, but if you are still experiencing problems connecting, let us know by contacting support@innersloth(.)com with your version number and the error message you're getting!
Thank you so much for the patience on this!! It's been a long road of optimizing everything and you've been true Crewmates through it all.

Minor Improvement to Star Purchases
Hi Crewmates!
Tiny Steam-specific update for you. (Fancy!) We just deployed a small quality of life fix for purchases.
When you purchase Stars in-game: - The in-game Steam overlay will now show pricing in your preferred currency - Pricing may change in currencies that are not USD
This will make it easier for you to see exactly how much your Stars will cost without having to do the conversion yourself, and will make way more sense depending on your region.
Note on missing DLC
If you are missing any DLC, please email support(@)innersloth.com so that we can help you out! We have to go through all these individually so apologies if it's taken awhile. Appreciate the patience while we clear up all the sabotages.
