New options for toggling whether the taskbar is shown or not, as well as anonymous voting, is now available on the Among Us beta branch on Steam.

The murder mystery game that is absolutely not inspired by 80s horror film The Thing has been super popular with some of the biggest streamers on both Twitch and YouTube, even if Shroud "didn't particularly love it". Among Us has also seen a big surge in popularity over the past couple of months. It's currently the fourth most played game on Steam at the time of writing, and it has also seen at least 100 million downloads on mobile devices.
