Accounts are a feature in Among Us. All players must follow the Innersloth Code of Conduct which ensures a safe, enjoyable, and encouraging space for players to play Innersloth games.[1]
Features
- Players are able to report if someone in the game is acting inappropriately, including: inappropriate names, inappropriate chat, cheating/hacking, and harassment/misconduct. Consequences can range from temporary to permanent bans (including alternate accounts).
- Accounts are tied to a specific platform and cannot be linked to each other.
- Accessing Free Chat requires an account (without it the only chat option is Quick Chat).
- Accounts are required to change the player's display name. If the player does not create an account, there will be randomized names to choose from.
- Usernames are not exclusive. Multiple people can have the same username.
- If the player is under the minimum age of digital consent in their country (for most countries 13 is the minimum age), they will need a parent/guardian's permission to create an account.
- Without an account the player can still play via Guest Mode which has social features (only Quick Chat and randomized names).
- Accounts will be updated to integrate a friends list in the future.
- In version 2021.4.12, the accounts system was updated to add an option to go offline, which makes the Online button inaccessible. Additionally, the accounts tab has a colored outline that changes based on the player's status:
- Green means that the player is logged into their account.
- Yellow means that the player is not logged into their account and is playing as a guest.
- Gray means that the player is playing offline.
History
Accounts were confirmed on September 23, 2020, in a devlog by Innersloth as one of the new features that will be implemented into Among Us after the cancellation of the game's sequel, Among Us 2. They stated that a friends system would also be added.[2]
On November 3, 2020, moderation features were announced in the in-game announcements. The release date of this feature was revealed to be sometime during December 2020.[3] However, as of early 2021, the update has still not released.
On November 19, 2020, the Among Us Twitter account made a post stating that moderation features are a top priority. They said, "We want our space to be welcoming & respectful, so this is our first step in sabatoging the toxicity and hacking."[4]
An external development team is working on the accounts system, though it has not been confirmed who the team is.[5]
On March 18, 2021, the first version of accounts was confirmed to be releasing on March 31, 2021, alongside The Airship[1] and released on schedule.
Trivia
- There is a visual bug where some of the hats may appear backwards on the title card.
