Matchmaker, find me a match!

Update **16.0.0** is here and brings an important change to Among Us! Remember to update your game so you get these changes and can keep betraying everyone.

##### Matchmaking Update

HERE. WE. GO. Our overhauled matchmaking is here! The team made changes thanks to your responses to last year's player feedback survey. Your thoughts have had a big influence on the kind of chaos we bring in updates like this. Thanks for helping shape Among Us.

##### Finding Games

At the core of matchmaking, we want to make sure you have the right tools to find the lobby you want. With that in mind, our team put their heads together and cooked up this new interface:

Doesn't that look snazzy? The screen delivers key info at a glance like: the amount of lobbies currently online in your server region, the map, and how many Crewmates there are. We added the player speed and if roles are activated too. With all these visible right away, you can quickly choose a lobby if you're trying to jump into a round.

We've heard your cries for improved filtering! Now you can fine tune your searches via the "Filters" button. When you do, you'll see this new screen:

In the "**Filters**" screen you can choose the settings you'd like to home in on for your preferred lobby. Choices include:

-  Classic

-  Hide n Seek

-  Maps

-  Number of Impostors

-  Roles

-  Player Speed

-  Kill cooldown

-  Voting time

-  Visual tasks

-  Anonymous votes

-  Confirm ejects

-  Tags (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert)

After you select your settings and close the tab, you'll see how many lobbies match your choices and be able to join. **If you can't find any games with the settings you chose, either unselect some or choose the "clear filters" option to wipe all the filters at once and start over!** This just means you've gotten too specific.

When you find a lobby you're ready to join, you can either tap the listing to dive right in or click "More" and see the game details:

If the lobby settings look good to you, it's time to join and investigate some Impostors (or at least carry your fellow Crewmates).

##### Lobby Creation

For those Crewmates who like holding the reins and creating lobbies - your experience has been upgraded too. After you select **Play** and **Online** you'll see 3 options: **Create Game**, **Enter Code**, and **Find Game**. When you choose **Create Game** you'll see this:

Along with the cute animation every time you increase the player capacity, you'll be able to choose between:

-  Classic and Hide n Seek modes

-  The 5 maps

-  Tags

-  Server regions

-  Chat types

-  Chat language

When you select "Create Game" you'll see a confirmation screen before it's set in stone and unchangeable forever... _bwahahahahahaha_ (not really - you can always change these).

"_But what about the roles and visual tasks and confirming votes...?_" You'll still be able to edit these settings once you're in the Dropship by going to the good ol' laptop and editing the settings from the [menu we updated previously](https://www.innersloth.com/new-roles-enter-the-fray-v2024-6-18-emergency-meeting-38/):

##### Joining a Game

Among Us is best when playing with your friends (and soon to be enemies). When one of them sends you a lobby code to join a match you'll have an updated screen as well:

Now, when you enter a code you'll be able to confirm the host, lobby capacity, region, and the chat type. If all looks in order, you can click "**Join Game**" and enter the lobby. And don't worry if your chat type or region don't match - the game will update this for you (as long as you have permissions to use Free Chat) so you can focus on the upcoming chaos!

Wooooo - that was a lot of info. If you find it a bit confusing, check out our [handy tutorial](https://youtu.be/Ftf3-MpJjeM). We hope these changes make it WAY easier for you to find that perfect lobby and be the impressive Impostors you really are.

As you start getting used to the new setup, we'
