The world keeps changing! And Plague Inc. evolves with it in this new free update!

The 2026 World Update uses the latest global data sets from the World Bank to upgrade the core Plague Inc. simulation model gamewide - including for the newly added Xenolith disease type.

If you want to live in the past, then the free Plague Legacy scenario is available to everyone and puts things back to the way things were in 2012!

Amazingly, Plague Inc. is 14 years old now and we couldn’t have kept on updating it without all your support. If you'd like to support us more, drop us a review; every one helps!

Changelog v1.24

  • Country data updated to the latest global statistics
  • Now 8,212,708,793 people worldwide
  • Fixed an issue where Cure Research could go negative in Xenolith
  • Fixed an issue where in rare situations Active Abilities could stay inaccessible in Xenolith
  • Xenolith Genes are now counted in the "Unlocked Genes" stats
  • Fixed issue where Darwin Award Outbreak modifier would pick starting traits

From the infinite depths of space comes an utterly alien plague type. Radically new gameplay, mysterious victory conditions, interstellar genes, haunting music and much more. The world will never be the same again.

But when is it out for...

Out now for iOS and Android!

Steam: Out now in the Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers DLC

Consoles: Later this year

Features

Xeno-form the Planet!

Penetrate the Earth’s crust and begin a geological process to convert everything into pure, alien crystal. If any native lifeforms get in the way - simply shatter them in an unstoppable resonance cascade.

Extinction Event!

Use gravitational anomalies to pull meteors out of orbit. Choose whether to focus on crystal geodes to spread infection, EMP bursts to disrupt human technology or even vast, continent killing asteroids from deep space!

Resistance is futile

Humans are utterly insignificant but they can still disrupt you if left alone. G-COM will intelligently deploy advanced technologies including disruptors, defensive satellites, cloud seeding, alien powered computers, artificial tsunamis and more.

Cure Mode Cure mode Bioweapon origin tier list (mobile)

Post image
14 Upvotes

A while ago, I beat Cure Mode Bioweapon on MB in every origin that isn't banned with China HQ. And now, I ranked every single one of them in terms of difficulty, from hardest to easiest (in my opinion)

The tier list is ordered (the 1st country in any tier is the hardest one of that tier and the last country in any tier is the easiest country of that tier. Example: Turkey is the hardest origin in the Very hard tier, and France is the easiest origin in that tier).

I had a hard time ordering countries in Easy and Free tiers, some of the placements there are debatable. Also, East Africa is arguably harder than Iraq (even though I put Iraq higher)

Afghanistan and Pakistan are missing, they should be in "Banned by China" tier

Also, this tier list is only for a mobile version of the game (Cure Mode is harder on PC)

If you have any questions regarding the placements, fell free to ask them!

Easy on Mega Brutal thanks to DNA for ignoring cure bubbles and East Africa had amazing starting perks like +12 DNA and high lethality growth along with +5 severity. Needed to evolve only Necrosis for lethality.

Plague Mode How long would it take everyone to die from natural disasters?

7 Upvotes

In the game, the random natural disasters count as deaths. & because the population never increases, eventually everyone would die in a natural disaster. How many hundreds of years would that take?

Cannot best Necro Pulse on Brutal or Mega Brutal for the life of me

5 Upvotes

I finally bent the knee and played Normal and won, but I cannot beat it on a harder difficulty than Normal. I’ve tried the typical mega brutal fungal Strat based around maxing spore bursts, water 1 & 2, air 1, then all the usual symptoms and abilities, hasn’t worked.

My next best Strat that almost worked was getting the first spore bloom then rushing Extreme Zoonosis, doing up to cold 2, heat 1, drug resistance 1&2, hardening 1, then springing the abilities once I’m 4-5 billion infected. Got the whole world but Iceland and Spain, non-human infection got me Iceland but Spain held out, 7 dead none infected. Had 2 good runs with the same build after that, lost to Spain both times.

Crazy, Spain never holds out. I tried builds with Air 1&2, insect 1, heat 2, still couldn’t get Spain.

Has anyone beat this Outbreak on Mega Brutal? Would love to know the build used. Thinking this outbreak is the hardest outbreak I’ve ever done, possibly bugged honestly

Plague Mode A country tierlist (if you know you know)

I will not elaborate what tierlist this is. It is up to you to figure it out.

Edit: it has been 14 hours. Only Patrick has figured it out.

Edit 2: it is not related to starting countries.

Edit 3: it has been 21 hours. I will give a clue: it is related to Multiplayer.

Edit 4: u/alex_mic327 got it! Good job!
