Innersloth's massive hit has changed quite a bit since its launch.

Four years on from its release, no one really expected Among Us to become quite as big of a smash hit as it is today. For a while, it seemed like everyone was taking on the role of Crewmate or Impostor, from popular content creators to kids on their parents’ phones. Among Us merchandise-filled stores, the social media team created hilarious memes and posts that kept players coming back for more, and the game even ended up making an appearance on Jeopardy.

Developer Innersloth hasn’t sat by idly while the game experienced its wild upward trend. The team has been fantastic about responding to fan comments, bug reports, and feature requests on its devblog, which is updated about once a month. The devblog is also where patch notes and other updates are detailed, and it’s here that you can see just how far Among Us has come from its 2018 launch.

Here are all major Among Us patch updates, listed from newest to oldest.

While technically not an update, Horse Mode did, in fact, change the game. For just one day, Innersloth’s 2022 April Fools joke changed all player characters to horses and added unique sound effects and visuals to make players laugh.

Released on the same day as Horse Mode, Friends List grants each registered player a unique friend code and allows them to send and receive friend requests within the game. Players can also block others and see who they’ve recently been in a game with.

This update was v2022.3.29 on all platforms. 

Notes about the friends list:

Among Us launched on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStations 4 and 5 on December 14, 2021. Alongside the launch, console players were treated to an update that included roles, Cosmicubes, and achievements.

Before roles and Cosmicubes came to console, PC players were able to check them out. Roles allow players to take on different traits and tasks in each match, while Cosmicubes are branching customization trees that give players the chance to change up their look. This update also brought account linking, achievements, and other small updates.

On June 30, 2021, a small patch was released that added vent cleaning, a new task for crewmates. It also added language support for Chinese (traditional and simplified) and Irish.

15-player lobbies were added to celebrate Among Us‘ third birthday back in 2021. The update also added new character colors, mobile controller support, and bug fixes.

This update allowed players to link their Discord and Twitch accounts to the mobile version of the game in order to share room code invites and stream directly from mobile devices.
