Innersloth - the team behind the insanely popular game Among Us, has just rolled out a brand new update for the Nintendo Switch version. This bumps the game up to Version 2021.2.21. Although this patch is only small, it adds a helpful quick chat tool - allowing players to communicate much faster.
"hey Crewmates, small feature we've just added Quickchat (v 2021.2.21) - this is an easier, faster and safer option to play if you're using text chat! more info in game."
In the same tweet, Innersloth mentioned how more information regarding the "big update news" would be shared soon. It's also reported a glitch tied to lobbies and a few other things, which it intends to resolve as soon as possible.
If you've not given Among Us a go on the Nintendo Switch, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to jump in. You can learn more about this game in our review.

Among Us still needs a built-in voice chat functionality.
I'm glad to see the Switch version is getting ongoing support and not just slapped onto the system for the hype alone. Now I hope we can get pets added soon. I need to bring my child to work.
I like it, you can mix it in with your typing so you can say things faster, They even put Yeet as one LOL. they made the chat ages 13 and up, (This is not added just yet But they put it on the pc, but for now its 18 and up) Its really cheap and comes with some free skins so you should buy.
@MrGlubGlub you should probably stop wasting time telling random people on the internet and see a doctor!
@Handy_Man
They have one. It's in the Cellphone app >_>
@MrGlubGlub Woah, this reply section is just like among us chat!
Yep. This cruddy update. The one that blocks users under 18 from using an essential feature of the game.
Seriously, Innersloth. What are you even accomplishing by putting an age restriction on who can use the chat? It's not like you're preventing 9 year olds from seeing inappropriate stuff, that's the chat censor's job. Why not put the age restriction on that, if anything?
Seriously, you can't ask for proof, you can't call "good game", you can't even use free chat in local and private lobbies! Express chat is great as an option, especially for Switch users, but not as a requirement. I find it outright insulting that it is one.
(EDIT: So I've heard that the age limit has been lowered to 13. Makes a lot more sense due to COPPA guidelines on what children can share, but express chat still needs work if it wants to be a viable alternative to the chat box.)
Bruh they turned the game into mario kart 8
@YoshiFlutterJump They've reduced the age gate to 13 now but it hasn't changed on Switch yet. I would've kind have preferred 18 in a way though... Too many children in the game typing absolute nonsense and not playing properly.
Weren't you working on a new map? Sus
I don't play Among Us on the Switch, but from my experience I can tell this update will be really helpful.
@Handy_Man Yes! But it also needs to allow the host to change maps between rounds!
What's among us? Sounds like a fad from 2020
