Comedy studio Triband have launched an enormous update for their hit comedy game WHAT THE CAR?, a collab with social deduction sensation Among Us!
The Car-Mong Us update sees the crewmates crashland into the universe of WHAT THE CAR? with predictably disastrous results. The (totally free!) update includes a new overworld, Among Us style ‘minigames’, impostors, asteroids, racing, and more!
It’s launching today on PC via Steam and Apple Arcade.

About the Car-Mong Us Update
Trust no one! After the Among Us crewmates crash into the universe of WHAT THE CAR?, Car attempts to help them with their tasks – the usual mix of asteroid dodging, wire fixing, and suspect-ejecting. Surely nothing can go wrong!
New stuff:
-
A new overworld designed as homage to the Among Us spaceship the Skeld!
-
Unlockable skins modelled off the iconic crewmate colours!
-
Four new minigames parodying classic Among Us tasks!
-
Two new intermezzos - shoot asteroids, eject imposters!
-
Three new racing courses!
About WHAT THE CAR?
You’re a car with legs! Race through hundreds of unique levels: jump, fly with jetpacks, climb tall buildings, deliver packages, and so pretty much everything you can’t do in a normal racing game.
It’s not all about the need for speed. Explore the many islands to meet new friends, find hidden treasures or solve quirky puzzles (Hint: Look behind the waterfalls!). You can also make your own wacky levels, share them with friends and family, or climb the leaderboards of unhinged levels made by other players.
WHAT THE CAR? was initially released for Apple Arcade last year and won Best Mobile Game at this year's prestigious DICE Awards.
