Among Us Depreciation of 2024 s Patch Notes (22nd June 2026)
The latest Among Us patch brings a free cosmetic crossover and a quality-of-life improvement players have been asking for.

v17.1.0 just dropped, and it's refreshingly honest about its own brevity. The patch notes literally tell you there's almost nothing here, which, honestly, I respect more than the usual "stability improvements" filler.
The actual meat: a free Stardew Valley Cosmicube that costs 3,300 Beans and sticks around until February 2026, plus a long-requested update to the Create Game screen that now reflects your map choice in the background. That's useful if you're hosting lobbies regularly, one less disconnect between what you're setting up and what you're actually playing.
Beyond that, the patch notes devolve into Victoria from the dev team going full psychological thriller about Among Us players and their capacity for deception during Emergency Meetings. It's absurd and self-aware makes a two-feature update feel less like a letdown. Look for the Cosmicube before it expires.

▲ BuffHi Crewmates,
Teeny tiny update v17.1.0 is now out.
Curious about what it contains?
Alright.
Are you ready? Hold your breath. Prepare your reading eyes. This could drive you insane from the sheer amount of words this will hold:
- NEW: Stardew Valley Cosmicube will be available until Feb 18, 2026 at 17:00 UTC. And the best part? It’s FREE – for only 3300 Beans, this bountiful harvest can be yours. Get it before it withers away.
- NEW: Create Game screen. As requested by you, the backgrounds have been updated to reflect the map chosen!
- …
- ……. Ummm.
- Yep that’s actually it.
I know. You’re mindblown. But check out the Cosmicube and hope to see you in those lobbies!….You know, any normal player would want the November dev log to end here since there’s really nothing else to say, but I know you. You’re sick. You’re twisted. The other Crewmates will never understand the depths of your darkness. I’ve seen what you’ve done. The lies you’ve told during Emergency Meetings so that you could get away with murder. The unravelling of your core values as you realized how easy it is to manipulate your best friends. They thought you were sweet. Docile. Innocent, even. Then you showed them. You showed the WORLD what you could do when given the opportunity to sabotage the lights. I’m disgusted by you. But also… in awe. Here I am, sitting in the safety of Admin, while you’re out there making a name for yourself. I respect you. I fear you. I hope to never walk along the same path as you because I know that if we were to lock visors, I would be dead.
Okay bye!
Victoria
