About Plague Inc: Evolved
Plague Inc: Evolved blends high‑level strategy with a realistic pandemic simulation. Starting from a single infected host, you evolve a pathogen to wipe out humanity while countering global defenses. The PC version adds multiplayer, user‑generated content, and enhanced 3D graphics.
The game features ten disease types, twenty‑three scenarios, and tools for creating custom content via Steam Workshop. Modes include competitive PvP, cooperative co‑op, and a single‑player campaign, all supported by detailed statistics and replay options.
01 / THE GUIDE
Disease Types
Ten distinct pathogen categories range from bacteria to bio‑weapons, mind control, and zombies. Each type requires a unique evolutionary strategy to overcome human defenses.
Choosing a disease influences the available evolutions, abilities, and genes, shaping how you spread infection and respond to cure efforts.
- Experiment with different types to discover varied playstyles.
- Match disease strengths to scenario challenges for better success.
02 / THE GUIDE
Scenarios
Twenty‑three unique scenarios add specific challenges, such as a new Swine Flu strain or an Ice Age setting. Scenarios alter world conditions and government responses.
Adapting your strategy to each scenario’s constraints is essential for achieving global domination.
- Read scenario briefings before evolving.
- Prioritize traits that counter the scenario’s specific obstacles.
03 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Modes
Competitive PvP pits two plagues against each other for genetic dominance, while cooperative co‑op lets two players combine diseases to overwhelm humanity.
Both modes feature new evolutions, abilities, and genes to help players outmaneuver each other and the world’s cure efforts.
- Coordinate with your co‑op partner to cover complementary infection routes.
- In PvP, monitor your opponent’s progress and adjust evolutions accordingly.
04 / THE GUIDE
Content Creation
The Contagious Content Creator provides tools for designing custom scenarios, new plague types, worlds, and events. Creations can be shared through Steam Workshop.
Over 10,000 community scenarios are already available, offering fresh challenges beyond the base game.
- Use the editor’s templates to speed up scenario building.
- Test your custom scenario in single‑player before publishing.

Visuals and Statistics
Full 3D disease models, city‑cam views, and organ‑by‑organ body scanners deliver detailed visual feedback. Stats and graphs track infection, death, government reaction, and cure progress.
Game replays let you review performance, and features like speed runs and Mega‑Brutal difficulty add further depth.
- Watch the body scanner to identify which organs need targeting.
- Analyze cure graphs to anticipate when to shift evolution focus.
