A new update for Among Us just went live, bringing the game to version 2022.6.21 on Switch.
Today’s patch includes new features like Streamer Mode and colorblind settings. There are also over 100 bug fixes.
The full patch notes for the Among Us version 2022.6.21 update are as follows:
Quality of Life Improvements & Implemented Community Suggestions
Added a Streamer Mode. When active, room codes do not display in the lobby and is replaced by “Click to copy”. This can be toggled on or off in the General Settings.
Added Colorblind Settings. When active, the names of the colors will appear next to the players during meetings, and below the player during gameplay.
Account linking for all platforms (minus PlayStation and Nintendo) is back. Follow the in-game instructions carefully as we’ve removed Guest Accounts, but it should make it an easier process. More information on the new Account Linking here.
Players are now able to view the map from the voting screen.
Friends List – The player’s last display name will appear above a player’s Friend Code.
We definitely have wayyyy more planned in future, so keep playing the game and letting us know how you feel (nicely, pleaseeee) and I promise we’ll be listening.
