Among Us is getting its biggest update yet on March 31st. The latest update will bring the long awaited map to ‘The Airship’ and support accounts as well. Innersloth has now published a blog explaining how accounts among Us work.
Accounts were introduced for two main purposes – reporting and moderation. Innersloth plans have added a buddy system and also the ability to shift your costs between machines. This will happen later, however.
As soon as accounts become available among Us, you will be able to report someone in the game if they are behaving inappropriately. This can include “inappropriate names, inappropriate chatter, deception / slurs, and harassment / misbehavior. ”Reported accounts may be subject to temporary or permanent prohibition in some cases.
Innersloth does not yet allow multiple accounts to be linked. So if you play through Steam it only stays on Steam. But the developers have confirmed that it will be coming soon. Account creation will also be required to access two features – free chat and display names. If you do not create an account you can only access Quick Chat. You will also need an account to freely change your display name. If you do not, you will need to settle for random names. Another update is that usernames among Us will not be banned until two or more players get the same username.
Innersloth has also given rules to young children. Players under the age of minimum must obtain a parental or guardian’s digital license account. There is also a guest mode where toddlers can play without counting.
