Among Us

The Judge and Influencer expanded Among Us with two distinct ways to influence meetings: a living Crewmate could override a vote, while a Ghost could communicate through pictures. v18.0.0 delivered the Judge in August 2026, followed by the Influencer in v19.0.0 in September; new Cosmicubes and temporary events accompanied those gameplay additions.

• Judge and Overrule: Completing a configurable number of tasks unlocked one Overrule per game. The ability overrode the normal vote, but selecting someone who was not an Impostor ejected the Judge instead. If several Judges activated it together, the first took priority and the others received their ability back. The same update added the Match Info Guide and a post-meeting cooldown for Detective’s Interrogate.
• Influencer: The new Ghost Crewmate role sent up to three randomly supplied images to a living player, with limited refreshes and a configurable cooldown. Its clues could expose an Impostor or mislead the recipient. Version 19.0.0 also added the My Account reward-redemption button.
• Stardew Valley and cosmic wardrobes: The Stardew Valley Cosmicube cost 3,300 Beans and included Junimo and Krobus pets. Version 17.4.0 added the permanent Showbiz Cosmicube for 4,000 Beans, the Cosmic Cosmicube for 70 Stars, and show-inspired decorations on The Skeld. Phoenix Wright login cosmetics and the Hanami Cosmicube provided other themed options, while the Indie Cosmicube returned.
• Nostalgia Mode and Impostor Month: April Fools’ Nostalgia Mode temporarily restored available original sprites and could be disabled during lobby creation. October brought Halloween cosmetics, decorations across every map, and a purple Traffic Jam Hat redemption offer. A one-week Horse Mode return was also announced for October 26.

Detective and Viper arrived in v17.0.0, adding an investigative Crewmate and an Impostor who could dissolve victims’ bodies. The v16.0.0 matchmaking overhaul also changed how players found, inspected, and created lobbies, while the returning ehT dlekS temporarily reversed familiar routes.

• Detective and Viper: Detective combined Notes with Interrogate to record murder locations, track suspects, and question Crewmates about their whereabouts. Viper’s Acid dissolved corpses in stages until nothing remained; hosts could adjust dissolution speed and the number of Detective interrogations.
• Matchmaking in v16.0.0: Lobby searches gained filters for maps, roles, player speed, kill cooldown, voting rules, and skill tags. Players could inspect settings before joining, while lobby-code entry showed the host, capacity, region, and chat type. Creation screens also exposed mode, map, region, and chat choices.
• ehT dlekS: The backwards Skeld returned for April Fools’ week and replaced The Skeld in matchmaking and game creation until April 8. It was a returning limited-time map variant.
• Kamurocho and Paimon: The Like a Dragon collaboration added a 110-Star Kamurocho Cosmicube featuring Kiryu, Ichiban, Majima, and other characters. Genshin Impact’s collaboration offered a free Paimon Wig, Costume, and nameplate, while the Pusheen Cosmicube returned for another limited sale.
• v17.0.0 role tools: The How to Play guide expanded for the role lineup, Role Settings became scrollable, and Practice mode grouped role selection into Crewmate and Impostor folders.

Noisemaker, Tracker and Phantom added new deduction and escape abilities, backed by configurable lobby presets. The Indie Cosmicube and Critical Role collaboration expanded cosmetics, while Long Among Us supplied a temporary April Fools transformation across classic play and Hide n Seek.

• Three new roles: Noisemaker signaled their death with sound and a visual cue. Tracker followed a player's position on the map for a limited time, while Phantom could activate temporary invisibility to evade Crewmates.
• Core Settings and Roles Galore: v2024.6.18 redesigned the lobby settings display and introduced presets for classic matches. Hide n Seek received Pitch Dark and Flashlights presets, letting hosts choose between dark hiding and flashlight-based play.
• Indie Cosmicube: The crossover brought looks from Untitled Goose Game, Undertale, Celeste, Crypt of the NecroDancer, A Hat in Time, Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid. It cost 7,000 Beans during its acquisition period.
• Critical Role and Ace Attorney: Gilmore's Curious Cosmicube supplied looks from Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein and Bells Hells for Stars. Miles Edgeworth's Coif and Suit were separate free login rewards tied to Ace Attorney Investigations Collection.
• Long Among Us: April Fools' Mode stretched classic-mode Crewmates, Ghosts and Impostors, changed animations, and gave the Hide n Seek Seeker a long neck. Players could disable the temporary mode from lobby creation.
• Lunar New Year and birthday rewards: A new zodiac-themed Lunar New Year Cosmicube celebrated the Year of the Dragon. The sixth birthday offered the Mini Dappermate Hat, and Halloween returned the Trick and Treat Cosmicubes and classic hats.

The Fungle added a new island map, with ziplines, unfamiliar tasks and a new sabotage. Hide n Seek introduced a separate survival format, while the Quick Chat Builder changed communication and the Guardian and Pusheen Cosmicubes supplied new crossovers.

• The Fungle: The October update introduced fishing, frisbee, marshmallow roasting and weightlifting tasks, alongside a new ejection animation. The map supported both classic matches and Hide n Seek, and its Fungle Cosmicube offered themed cosmetics for 70 Stars.
• Hide n Seek: Crewmates completed tasks to shorten a survival timer, watched a danger meter and used a limited number of vent escapes. Final Hide empowered the Seeker with extra tracking tools. The update also added a Haunt button for ghosts and the ability to pet companions in matches and lobbies.
• Quick Chat Builder: v2023.7.11 replaced the radial wheel with a slide-out builder, refined categories, additional phrases, favorites and color-coded player names. A subsequent hotfix removed its visual bounce after feedback.
• Lobby choices: Hide n Seek's update required public lobbies to specify Beginner, Casual, Serious or Expert filters. The June update also let iOS and Android players discover local matches hosted by PC.
• Guardian, Pusheen and anniversary rewards: Bungie's Guardian Cosmicube arrived for Beans, while the Pusheen Cosmicube used Stars. The fifth birthday offered a free Star Balloon hat and new party cosmetics; Ghostface's Scream items returned in July.
• Horse Mode: The March update announced its April Fools return and a Horse Wrangling variant for Hide n Seek. The preview paired the returning horse-shaped Crewmates with the survival mode's new twist.

The Friends List added persistent connections between Among Us matches, with friend codes, invitations, recent-player lookup and blocking. Horse Mode supplied a brief April Fools transformation, while holiday, Ghostface and hololive cosmetics expanded the available looks.

• Friends List: The March release let players send requests, invite friends to their lobby and block other players. It also offered controls for showing a Friend Code and receiving lobby notifications, with additional permissions required for child accounts.
• Ghostface and Horse Mode: Scream Mask and Scream Robes became free login rewards with the Friends List update. Horse Mode then turned Crewmates into horses for the April Fools event; it was temporary rather than a permanent replacement for standard matches.
• hololive Cosmicube: The crossover offered outfits, hats and visors inspired by VTubers including Gawr Gura, Houshou Marine, Inugami Korone and Watson Amelia. Its limited store availability governed acquisition, while owning the Cosmicube allowed its contents to be unlocked afterward.
• Snowflake and Snowbean: December's new holiday Cosmicubes supplied winter cosmetics through Beans and Stars respectively. Halloween later brought back themed Cosmicubes and decorated The Skeld and MIRA HQ. Arcane's December promotion concerned the existing crossover, whose launch preceded this window.
• Friends List follow-up: v2022.6.21 restored account linking after its temporary pause and added Streamer Mode, color names during gameplay and meetings, and map access from the voting screen. July's Jev Log previewed switching maps from lobby settings. Map 5 and Hide n Seek remained development plans.

The Airship launched as Among Us's fourth and largest map, adding selectable starting rooms, tasks and new ways to move between areas. Four new roles and Cosmicubes later expanded deduction and cosmetic progression, while larger lobbies and Quickchat changed how crews assembled and communicated.

• The Airship: The free March release added jewel polishing, emptying trash, ladders and moving platforms. Players chose their starting room, received new free hats, and could buy an Airship Skin Bundle with outfit-specific kill animations.
• Scientist, Engineer, Guardian Angel and Shapeshifter: November's Roles & Cosmicubes update delivered portable vitals, Crewmate venting, protective shields and appearance-copying disguises. Role probabilities and abilities were configurable. The same update added branching Cosmicube unlocks, currencies, experience levels, achievements and account linking. Official release notes confirmed these additions.
• 15-player lobbies: The birthday update expanded matches and added Tan, Gray, Banana, Rose, Maroon and Coral, an art refresh, mobile controller support and a meeting display of recent deaths. Innersloth's birthday update confirmed these additions.
• Quickchat and accounts: Quickchat supplied preset text communication. The Airship update's account system focused on reporting and moderation; Free Chat and freely chosen display names required an eligible account, while Guest Mode retained limited play with Quickchat.
• Arcane Cosmicube: The League of Legends collaboration opened on November 12 with Heimerdinger, Jayce, Caitlyn and other themed cosmetics, including a Poro pet. Cosmetic unlocks used Pods earned after activating the purchased Cosmicube.

MIRA HQ and Polus became free to host, opening every existing map to all players. Anonymous Voting and Task Bar Modes then added meaningful match options, while Innersloth cancelled Among Us 2 and redirected its planned development toward the original game.

• Free maps: The All Maps Free update removed MIRA HQ and Polus's hosting paywalls. Their associated hats and skins remained purchasable cosmetic DLC, while additional free hats and a Crewmate Hat for the Crewmate Pet DLC expanded customization.
• Anonymous Voting and Task Bar Modes: November's Small Patch made votes appear grey when anonymous voting was enabled. Always retained the normal task bar, Meeting updated it during meetings, and Invisible removed it, giving hosts more control over the information available to players.
• MIRA HQ and colorblind support: Comms sabotage began clearing MIRA's security logs. Symbols were added to Fix Wires, cosmetics appeared on the meeting screen, and the patch delivered a first pass at colorblind support.
• The Future of Among Us: September's announcement cancelled the sequel and committed its planned content to the original game. A Friends/Account System and a Henry Stickmin-themed map entered development; November's roadmap described accounts, professional translations and the larger free map as future work. The announcement did not make the sequel's proposed roles, currency or matchmaking systems available in Among Us.

MIRA HQ launched as a second map, adding a tightly packed headquarters with new tasks, security and movement rules. Polus subsequently expanded the map selection, while Cyan and Lime, cosmetic skins and revised ghost rules changed the original game's matches.

• MIRA HQ: The August release introduced eight tasks, a unique security system, a sabotage, and different door and vent mechanics. It initially cost $4, with ownership requirements for online games; November's v2019.11.5 let online players join MIRA games without buying it, while hosts still needed ownership.
• Polus: The November map supplied a larger planetary base, twelve tasks, another security system and new door mechanics. It launched as a $4 purchase on Steam, Android and iOS. Innersloth's launch notes confirmed availability on November 12.
• Cyan, Lime and skins: v2019.4.24 restored Cyan and introduced Lime, added main-menu statistics and removed host kicks and bans during active matches while retaining them in lobbies. February's update also made cosmetic skins available.
• Ghosts and task rules: Ghost Chat became available throughout play. Ghosts moved faster and stopped receiving the five-minute leaving penalty; ghost Impostors lost vent access. Medscan changed from a common task to a long task, Fix Wires became common, and Impostors later lost access to Submit Scan.
• Match access and communication: The First 2019 Update added language/settings filters and broader accented, Cyrillic and Korean text support. MIRA HQ's update added partial Portuguese and Spanish translations and let Impostors repair their own sabotages.
