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

Meme UPDATE 2: The line “Your brain looks like it needs a hug :(“ is now stuck in my head, and I’m blaming this subreddit.

If anyone else has a collection of random media quotes, song lyrics, and memes that are permanently ingrained in their memory, you know what I’m talking about. “Your/my brain needs a hug :(“ has been added to the collection, and if I ever say that out loud, I’m gonna have to explain that it’s about parasitic worms.

I know I was the one who drew the damn thing, but am I entitled to any compensation here?

This was acutally insanely hard to do especially with hard plagues.

Made a senario where everything (I MEAN EVERYTHING, not just population or dna points, Everything) IS CRANKED TO 11.

And to balance this, there is some unfair rng and evolutions that just don't do anything. i worked like a month on this because i had to learn the whole scenario builder whilst doing this.

Hope you try it :)

(note: can either be super difficult or super eazy, could be a bit ragey)

Outbreak mutators

  1. Biosecurity level: 7

  2. Significantly increases population in the smallest countries

  3. Mutations give DNA

  4. Infected populations increase trait costs

Origin country mutators

Libya

  1. DNA +8

  2. Cure complexity +39%

  3. Infectivity growth +116%

  4. Infectivity -12

  5. Humid -18%

Genetic code

  1. Catalytic Switch

  2. Darwinist

  3. Aquacyte

  4. Extremophile

  5. Patho-Stasis

First tried it with France where ship transmission was +80 and infectivity growth +17% but the cure got completed when only a few thousand people were left.

Second time tried with Libya but could not get lethality later as trait costs shot up because of the mutator.

Third time again started with Libya and got some lethality and severity early in the game.

Plague Mode Advice for playing with a Fungus

1 Upvotes

I’ve been trying for a little while to make progress with the Fungus, but it’s just so frustrating and difficult. I always try to start out small, building up my abilities and transmission methods before going in for symptoms, so it’s harder to cure my disease. But what always ends up happening is either my disease is cured, or there are a small handful of countries (typically islands) that just…never get infected.

I only have like, two of the gene things unlocked, so those aren’t gonna help me. Any advice for how to get a Fungus to actually be a winner is greatly appreciated.

Cure Mode Cure mode Bioweapon origin tier list (mobile)

Post image
16 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!
