Your cell, your friends

The same Spore, with company.

One shared ocean

Up to four players swim in the same world. Each of you controls your own cell and sees the others hunt, eat and grow.

Your own evolution

Collect your own DNA, unlock new parts and redesign your cell in the editor. Nobody has to share a body.

Easy to get together

Create a room from the game's main menu, invite friends, chat while everyone gets ready, then start the campaign.

Ready to dive in?

Download the launcher.

The installer finds your game and sets up the mod. The launcher keeps it up to date before every session.

You will need

  • A Windows PC and your own copy of Spore with Galactic Adventures.
  • Game version 3.1.0.22. The installer checks this for you; not every store build is supported yet.
  • An internet connection. Everyone in the room needs the same mod version.

Questions and answers

Found a bug or have an idea? Use Bugs & ideas in the launcher or email gamedel1993@gmail.com.

Is this an official Spore update?

No. Spore Coop is an unofficial fan-made mod. It is not made, published or endorsed by Electronic Arts or Maxis. You need your own copy of the game.

Which stages can I play?

Only the Cell Stage for now. Other stages will be added when they are ready; there are no release dates yet.

Will the mod change my game files?

No. The mod is installed separately in your Windows user profile and does not replace the original game files. You can remove it with the included uninstaller.

Do all players need the mod?

Yes. Everyone needs the current mod version, a supported copy of the game and an internet connection.

Can the playtest be switched off?

Yes. The playtest runs through an online service and can be paused for updates or maintenance. While it is paused, the mod will not start, but your game and saves stay untouched.

How do I report a problem?

Choose Bugs & ideas in the launcher and describe what happened and how to repeat it. Automatic crash reports can be turned off in the launcher settings.
