Plague Inc: The Board Game is out as a digital game on PC and mobile, sold by Ndemic Creations. It supports one to four players with online multiplayer, bots, same-device play, a legacy campaign and daily challenges.
The digital version of Plague Inc: The Board Game is now a product of its own, not a rules-testing tool. Ndemic Creations put it on Steam for PC and Mac on November 5, priced at 820 yen with 10 percent off until November 19, then added versions for PC (Steam) and smartphones (Google Play, App Store) four days later. The adaptation takes the 2017 board game spin on Plague Inc., in which each player is a pathogen that infects a starting country and evolves symptoms to spread faster while competing against rival pathogens.
The feature set grew between the two releases. The Steam version included a 2vs2 team battle mode, single-player against CPU opponents, a legacy campaign, daily challenges and same-device multiplayer, plus three DLC packs. The later PC and mobile release lists one to four players, bots in single-player, online multiplayer, asynchronous turns and same-device hotseat play, alongside the legacy campaign, daily challenges, a tutorial and a trial version.
The origin story is consistent across both: the digital release grew out of the creator's own prototype, built to test the second edition's rules. Ndemic is selling it as a full game, which keeps the Plague Inc name in front of players between main entries; Plague Inc: Evolved is cited as a 200-million-player title.
