Okay, space detectives and sneaky impostors, gather 'round! As a dedicated crewmate (and occasional, totally not sus, impostor), I've been living in the air vents of Among Us for what feels like light-years. The latest update, v2024.3.05, just dropped, and let me tell you, it's like the developers at InnerSloth read our collective crew chat logs. This isn't just a patch; it's a quality-of-life care package sent straight to our spaceships. Remember that weird glitch where you'd suddenly teleport halfway across the map just for trying to fix a wire? Yeah, that's ancient history now. The game finally feels as smooth as floating through zero-G, and I'm here to break down why this update is a game-changer for our 2026 lobbies.

✨ Goodbye, Glitchy Ghosts! Hello, Smooth Sailing! ✨
First things first, the most annoying bugs have been... well, ejected. The developers really listened! Here’s what’s been fixed, and trust me, you'll feel the difference:
-
No More Task Teleportation: Starting a task no longer yeets you across the room. FINALLY. My crewmate can calmly download data without ending up in Electrical. It’s the little things.
-
Black Screen of Doom, Begone! Quickly picking a map from Practice won’t plunge your Main Menu into darkness anymore. No more panic-restarting the game!
-
Cosmetics Are Safe! Your drip is secure. No more floating hats on the Fungle zipline – your character now has a firm grip on their fashionable headwear. Crisis averted.
-
Controller Chaos, Controlled: RB/R1 prompts on cams won't double up on screen. For us console players, it’s a clean, streamlined view. Phew.
-
Fair Play for Impostors: In Classic mode, the impostor count won’t drop twice if an ejected imposter leaves. This keeps the game balanced and fair, which is everything in a social deduction game.
-
Stuck No More: On the Airship, you won’t get eternally stuck in a ladder-climbing animation post-sabotage. The fluidity is... chef's kiss.
🚨 But Wait... A Few Poltergeists Remain 🚨
Of course, it’s not a perfect universe yet. The devs are transparent about some lingering "known bugs" they're still chasing. It’s like we cleared most of the cobwebs, but a couple of space spiders are still hiding.
-
On The Fungle, your hand might sometimes get left behind on the zipline. Spooky, but harmless!
-
Some players might hit a "Friendcode Fail" when merging accounts. The team is on it.
-
A weird one: Impostors might still teleport to a vent near a Crewmate cleaning it, even if they weren't there. Talk about a scary surprise!
It’s comforting to know the devs are aware and working on these. They’ve proven they listen, so I’m not worried.
🎮 Why This Update Matters for Us in 2026 🎮
Let’s be real, in 2026, a game as community-driven as Among Us lives or dies by its polish and support. This update shows InnerSloth is still deeply invested. It’s not about flashy new content (though that’s always welcome), but about respecting our time and experience. A smooth, fair game means less frustration and more focus on the mind games, the accusations, and the hilarious emergency meetings. The fact they tackled platform-specific crashes on Xbox and Android is huge for keeping our cross-platform friend groups together.
📝 My Final Debrief & A Note to the Crew 📝
If you haven't updated yet, you need to! v2024.3.05 isn't compatible with older versions, so update to stay in the lobby with everyone. The difference is night and day. The game feels tighter, more responsive, and just... better. It’s the best state the game has been in for a long time.
So, what’s next? We keep playing, we keep reporting any strange bugs we find (politely, in the right channels!), and we support the devs who are clearly supporting us. This update is a love letter to the players. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have tasks to complete. And I can do them without glitching through the map. What a time to be alive... in space!
See you in the cafeteria. Don't be sus. 😉
