Happy End of 2025, Crewmates! 🎉 Year End Recap

CREWMATESSSS!!!

WE MADE IT! WE’RE ALIVE! WE SURVIVED THE IMPOSTORS FOR ANOTHER YEAR!!!

Thank you for a ✨stellar 2025✨ full of fun updates, multiple vent cleaning claims, and you-definitely-not-asking-us-about-the-TV-show-and-where-it-is. (It is NOT cancelled??? Why do I keep seeing people claim this please lmao.)

I wanted to do a silly recap of what we’ve accomplished together this year, but FIRST let’s get through some housekeeping.

New Years Eve 2026 Drop

Our yearly tradition is coming! Get a special, limited time NYE 2026 Hat for FREE when you log in starting December 26, 07:00 UTC. Ring in 2026 with your Crewmates and ensure you can be the person in future lobbies going “Oh this hat? It was limited edition. You just had to be there.” Ahhh, FOMO. This giveaway ends on January 31, 2026 so don’t forget about it!

Until then, the Snowflake, Snowbean, and Gift Cosmicubes are BACK! Celebrate the winter holidays and snag them before they melt away on December 31.

Innersloth Holiday

Innersloth (that’s us) will be on winter holidays starting now (December 15) until January 5th, 2026. During that time expect less posts on social media (unless I get bored waiting in line for something and start replying to stuff on my phone lol) and no updates during this time. (Victoria not using parentheses while writing a devlog challenge: IMPOSSIBLE.)

If you encounter any bugs or issues with the game during this time, our player support team will still be helping out! You can email them here or check out the helpdesk.

2025 Recap

Now let’s take a walk down memory lane and see all the horrors tasks we’ve completed this year. Fun fact: this year, everyone on the Innersloth team are confirmed Crewmates. We think. We’re still not really sure about Gary.

First, let’s reflect on the 2025 Roadmap we released:

Improved Matchmaking

Update v16.0.0 back in March brought an important change to Among Us – a new way to create and find lobbies! We got solid feedback from you on what you needed to find your perfect match (thanks to everyone who filled out the Player Feedback form near the beginning of the year), so we added filters, the ability to view settings before you join a game, and more.

I am still obsessed with the way Crewmates fill up the maps on the Create Game screen by the way. The details of what they’re doing… *chef’s kiss*

New Roles

In September, we released two new roles in v17.0.0: Detective and Viper!

The Detective was our first Crewmate role that needed much more involvement and big brain IQ to properly strategize with. (Confession: I am terrible at this role. My brain is too small.)

Meanwhile, the Viper got a cool custom kill animation and got to wreak havoc in lobbies. Shout out to this one comment I saw that said “I got puked on by Viper, the animation is grosssss 😂”. Please consider it an honor to be puked on by Viper.

Collabs

The most recent (and ongoing) collab was with the ConcernedApe himself for a Stardew Valley Cosmicube! This all started when we bullied him into going to the aquarium with us in Seattle back in 2023. (I’m joking.) (But we did go to the aquarium!) Don’t forget to pick it up for a mere 3300 Beans before it ends in February 2026.

Our big collab this year was with RGG Studios to bring the Kamurocho gang to the game in an official Cosmicube. Please tell me you
