Another year passes and Plague Inc. continues to keep infecting new players thanks to 85 million wonderful people all over the world. Each year when I write the report card, I expect it to be the last one before we hit ‘peak plague’ but thanks to the support of our tremendous community - it keeps on going! (at least for now) 2016 has been a really busy year for us as we worked to update the game with new content, bring the game to new platforms and even made a physical board game!

I’m extremely proud of what we have achieved this year - here are some of the highlights:

Over 85 million people have now been infected with Plague Inc. That's over 1% of the world population!

For the 5th year in a row, Plague Inc. was one of the most popular paid apps on iOS worldwide.

Plague Inc: Evolved sells over 1 million copies on Steam as well as becoming an Early Access success story when it launched out of Early Access

Plague Inc: The Board Game was released via Kickstarter to critical and popular acclaim

The Vampiric Shadow Plague disease type was released which turns the normal rules of Plague Inc. upside down and lets players control a single vampire in its mission to consume all humans and bring in a new era of darkness

Ndemic Creations recognised by the Sunday Times as one of the top 100 fastest growing tech companies in the UK (72nd to be exact!)

Fun Fact - players have infected a total of 11 quintillion people in Plague Inc. ( 11,903,205,450,400,819,041). I think that makes Plague Inc. the most deadly video game ever!

Thanks so much to everyone that has played the game and supported us, we couldn't have done any of this without you!
