Hey all,

Just wanted to let people know there is a beta branch for Among Us. It's often just the normal version because I'm not making many changes, but right now, v2020.8.28 is up and has:

* Add Tagalog and Polish Language filters
* Add option for disabling shared "Visual Task" animations.
- When disabled, Medscan, Destroy Asteroids, Shields, both Garbage tasks will animate only for the player who is performing the task.
* Add option for disabling impostor confirmation after ejecting a crewmate.
- When disabled, "Player was ejected" is always displayed and the remaining impostor count is omitted.

It is not compatible with the public version, so it will not show any games with a different version and will complain about incorrect version if you attempt to join and a different versioned game via code.

Feel free to post bugs the **pertain to these changes**. General disconnects and server load are still being improved as quickly as ...

Hey everyone,

I guess it's time for another server update. I made all the changes I mentioned last time and am adding more and more servers. We've doubled the number of servers, actually. And for a few good days, that was actually enough.

But a whole new wave of players are joining, so here's a look at the past few days. Almost 3x players and still trying to keep up. I'm sad it's not as easy as "add more servers", but just know that I'm still working on it.

Pretty exciting to cross 250k active players.

Hi everyone! Time for a big post!

First of all, thanks so much for playing and enjoying Among Us. It's been crazy to see how much more popular Among Us could be than we ever imagined.

Second of all, yes. We're confirming Among Us 2. This post is all about what that means and why we're doing it.

First and Most Important Among Us 1 servers will stay alive for as long as it has enough players to start games. When we first started, we found that players couldn't really play when the servers had fewer than 30 - 50 players per hour. But lately we have 70,000 - 110,000 per hour. We'd be crazy to shut off the servers on you in 2021! And even if Among Us 2 gets lots of players, we'll just run both at the same time. If Among Us 1 servers shut down, I will open source the code so players can run servers instead.

But why a sequel? Among Us 1 has been out over two years. It started as a tiny local-multiplayer-only game and has grown and grown and grown. Online ... Read more

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I think Steam added some new tags and things got messed up. We def aren't splitscreen, but we do support LAN, so I fixed our features tags.

Among Us anti-hack is a little overzealous and sometimes takes out whole rooms if one person is hacking. Sorry you guys sometimes get caught in the crossfire.

Reliable Packet 1 is the connection packet. It usually means there's a firewall on your PC (Windows Firewall or some antivirus programs) or your router that isn't letting UDP port 22022-22025 traffic through.

Hey Everyone! Apologies for the radio silence! We are sure you all know a lot is going on in the world, so we hope all of you are well and safe.

The day has finally come where our Among Us DLC maps MIRA HQ and Polus are free! That means anyone and everyone can host on all three maps! The hats and skins associated with the maps were difficult to remove (“fun” behind-the-scenes with Steam and Mobile platforms is really what’s up) so we’ve made them purchasable as normal skin DLCs!
We also added a bunch more free hats for players to choose from! As well an update to the Crewmate Pet DLCs with the addition of a Crewmate Hat! That’s it for now, we’re still doing what we can for bug fixes. We hope you enjoy this update!

Hope you all are excited for a merchandise update as well! Whoot whoot!
Merchandise was delayed for several months but is slowly but surely getting back on track! Our first merchandise release will consist of tshirts, a tote bag, and a Crewmate plush... Read more

Local multiplayer works by having everyone join the same wifi. Each player uses their own device. We also have a F2P mobile version with ads and fewer cosmetics so people don't *have* to buy the PC version. There is crossplay between PC and mobile.
