Innersloth's runaway success Among Us continues to surprise and delight many, and today, the game has received a brand new update with lots of bug fixes, a few title cosmetic items, and the ability to have your pet, Chewie, match your Crewmate's colour!
The hit title is heading to Meta Quest and Steam VR on 10th November, so what better accessory to wear than a VR Visor! You can now hide among your Crewmates wearing this... pretty impractical headgear if that's your thing. Other additions include the return of Halloween Cosmicubes, spooky decorations, and the ability to add Screen Shake on non-PC platforms.
Here are the full patch notes from Innersloth's game blog — or, sorry, "SpoooOOOooooOOOky Dev Log":

Fun Stuff:
- 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!

I still play this game from time to time, because it got better after the popularity died down, and say what you want about this game, but it got me through one of the most stressful year, on top of my anxiety, it was just trouble, but this game eased that so much! An I will always love it for that.
Wish it got more updates
havent played in a couple years but jeez this game helped me out a lot during the pandemic
@Kayloo There’s 4 people developing it, things take time, shockingly
Although good game, it is difficult for me because it is cross platform (is there an option for it?) and when they discuss with mobile phones I don't have the time to write sth with onscreen keyboard (docked) and I get voted a lot. I haven't played it for ages (so I don't know about recent upadtes) but a would like a wheel with standard answers and people colors for console versions.
@BabyYoda71 The”re game is massively popular they need a bigger team
@Kayloo Celeste was made by 3 people, Undertale was made by 1… you don’t need hundreds or even dozens of people to make a good game.
Plus, Among Us doesn’t make enough money to hire many more people.
Doesn’t make enough money? Are you dumb? Merch sells like hotcakes, lots of people would love to work for them also it was 8 now its 16
