#Among us map layout polus update#

Henry was still ahead, but the gap had shrunk, so with my newfound confidence, I tried the tactic again, and again, and again, getting two more strikes in a row. It appears the bowling gods were listening, though, as I saw every single pin tumble. Feeling like my back was against the wall, I grabbed the virtual bowling ball, made a quick prayer to the bowling gods, then did what I do best – I lobbed the ball as hard as I could and hoped it would go well.įor what felt like an age, I watched the ball roll toward its destination, convinced I’d only score another six points or so. I was trailing, and as I stepped up to take my fourth turn, I was convinced that the first round of the competition would be my last.

I was doing well, but whenever I left some pins standing, Henry would be able to score a few extra points or even secure a spare or strike. The match started off close, but, after a few balls, I could see victory slipping away from me. My first-round match in the tournament was against UploadVR’s Henry Stockdale, a fellow Brit who has previously freelanced for a number of sites, including this one, to share his thoughts on VR, and it was great to finally meet him in person (well, virtually). Much like Walkabout Mini Golf’s courses, these are places where you and your friends will want to hang out, and if you go exploring, your crew might be able to find hidden ball designs dotted around each location to add to your collection. One of my favorite improvements is the game environments that have you bowling in more typical joints – like a 90s-era alley and a club that could have been ripped straight out of Brooklyn – as well as alleys deep under the sea and in space. More casual players, like myself, can dial back the realism and enjoy an experience that harks back to the good ol’ days of Wii Sports bowling, albeit with some solid upgrades. Pros looking for an accurate bowling sim with realistic physics and different ball stats will appreciate the depth the title can offer. This month I was invited to take part in a bowling tournament hosted by developer ForeVR Games, with its game ForeVR Bowl being the battleground for the event.įoreVR Bowl feels like a bowling game made for everyone.

If this doesn’t work, you may need to exit Steam (close it completely rather than just minimize it) and then reopen it for the Among Us VR update to happen. In the Betas tab, change the drop-down menu option from None to Beta, and then boot up the game.

Steam players should right-click Among Us VR in your Library and select Properties. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the game on your device to get this to work. In the drop-down menu, change the version from Live to Beta and your game should update and take you to the new map. To get involved, Meta Quest players need to head to the Among Us VR game’s store page on a web browser and look at the Version section.

I had an absolute blast exploring Polus Point, and if you want to try it out early, there’s a beta available right now, from June 29, 1pm ET to July 3, 1pm ET (June 29, 5pm GMT / June 30, 3am AEST to July 3, 5pm GMT / July 4, 3am AEST) There are also new locales to explore, like a crystal mine that features a claw-machine-like visual task – meaning other players can watch you complete it and know you’re not an Impostor. The new Polus Point map also borrows the aesthetics of the original with Polus’ iconic decorations like the bridge to nowhere over a pool of lava, Crewmate snowmen (snow-beans?), and the docked Drop Ship. This layout allows Impostors to get away with murders they might not on the Skeld 2 (Among Us VR's other stage). The sprawling map is something of a labyrinth, with a few branching paths to take you between different sections. Polus Point isn’t an exact replica of Polus, but it retains its spirit.
