Respawn into a new dinosaur survival experience beyond your wildest dreams… as ARK is reimagined from the ground-up into the next-generation of videogame technology with Unreal Engine 5! You awake on a mysterious island, your senses overwhelmed by the blinding sunlight and brilliant colors bouncing off every surface around you, the azure waters of a verdant Island lapping at your bare feet. A deep roar echoes from the misty jungle, jolting you into action, and you stand up – not afraid, but intrigued. Are you ready to form a tribe, tame and breed hundreds of species of dinosaurs and other primeval creatures, explore, craft, build, and fight your way to the top of the food-chain? Your new world awaits… step through the looking-glass and join it!
FEATURES
ARK: Survival Ascended has completely recreated and redesigned the artwork and worlds of ARK to take advantage of the latest in videogame technology, Unreal Engine 5, using high-end graphics features such as fully dynamic Global Illumination (“Lumen”), so that light bounces realistically off of surfaces and provides realistic reflections, and advanced mesh streaming (“Nanite”) of hundreds of millions of triangles for extreme detail.
Advanced new physics systems such as dynamic water so that every creature creates waves, ripples, splashes, and bubbles as they move through fluids, and fully interactive physical foliage where every blade of grass, bush, and tree reacts to characters, explosions, projectiles, and physics objects. Knock down a tree, and see it crash into other trees and disturb all the foliage on its way down to smacking into the grass below! Detect an enemy moving sneakily through the grass as it shifts and sways in response to their presence. Demolish a building and watch the pieces break apart realistically, interacting with the grass and water as they fall.
ARK: Survival Ascended includes access to all of ARK’s worlds, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1, ARK Genesis Part 2, and more. The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and The Center are released now, Extinction will be released on December 16, with the subsequent expansion worlds to be added at no additional cost on a regular basis.
The definitive survival experience returns better than ever: design your Survivor, form a tribe, and tame, train, breed & ride dinosaurs within a living ecosystem. Watch your food, water, temperature, and weather patterns. Slowly expand outwards as you harvest, build structures, farm crops, customize your visual designs, and proceed to explore to uncover the true nature of The Island and the worlds beyond.
Thorough Quality of Life revamps in every area: redesigned User Interfaces, dynamic navigation for intelligent creature pathfinding, Wild Babies, Photo Mode, new Camera systems, new Map system, Tracking System, new Structures and Items, new Creatures, and much more.
Cross-Platform Modding: Download & play new custom content created by players, including new maps, creatures, items, and game modes, through a dedicated mod collection directly within the game! Enjoy an endless stream of new ARK content as the creativity and talent of the community is fully unleashed for the first time ever across gaming platforms!

Supports public online multiplayer for up to 70 players, private-session multiplayer for up to 8 players, and local split-screen for 2 players.
Even with a good PC, I’m still experiencing FPS drops and optimization issues. It’s really disappointing.
DO NOT GIVE WILDCARD MONEY - They killed Evolved to encourage people to buy this cashgrab - Introduced Pay to Win tames, Only available through DLC (A Paywall on an animal already roaming the game is cruel) - Since Early Access of Evolved in 2015 theyve been producing DLC for a jank ass game, Spending time into ways to funnel more money out of its community before fulfilling promises to the community. Ark was, is & always will be a buggy mess. - ATLAS
(THE WORST GAME DEVELOPERS EVER IN HISTORY OF GAMING) I've played both ASE and ASA. Over 5000 hours for ASE and just a little over 100 hours for ASA. If you have never played Ark before, my recommendation is that you do not even try and waste your money. The game may look good at first but don't be fooled. The developers of this game are TOO GREEDY. They made a copy and paste version of ASE with better so called graphics and ASA was born which you can only really run it or enjoy it with a super computer. Oh did I mention that I had to buy the same game twice? Well I did. Just like all the other players of ASE. I couldn't run ASA as well as ASE so after some time, I moved back to ASE. I know I was not the only one who came back to ASE. Why do I call them GREEDY? Because they ruined ASE recently by messing with the mods. All of my placed S+ structures ARE GONE. The TIME I SPENT for the game ALL WASTED. They replied with an OOPSIE, ANYWAY. THEY NEVER FIXED ANYTHING. THEIR PURPOSE WAS T...

They lied to us. They fixed nothing, same bugs, expensive DLCs that aren't even complete, and I can't even play multiplayer after literally reinstalling the game, my drivers, my internet driver, windows, and a new hard drive. I can't play the damn game I paid SO MUCH for. Do not buy this game, do not buy the dlcs, do not give these trick ass devs your money. I remember when they would AT LEAST give us finished DLCS
RTX 4070 Super i9 9900k People like to talk a lot of crap about the devs for various things, but as someone who purchased Ark SE in beta I couldn't be happier with ASA. The game runs great for me personally, I'm able to run everything on epic at 2560x1440. Some console tweaks help performance, hit ` by default and enter r.volumetricfog 0 r.volumetricclouds 0 grass.sizescale .3 grass.densityscale 1.5 Overall I feel like all the QOL changes from SE to ASA make for a better experience and I feel like this game is in one of the best states it's ever been in.
Ark is Ark with or without bugs its still fun to play after a long day
great game, but its a true cash grab
Playing this game introduces people into a cuck kink, for we are watching the greatest survival game being repeatedly plowed infront of us; to then still fork out cash to pay for a better cuck seat (dlc). Even worse that snail games went back to asa's mothers house ase and killed her with some ai made fish (which was probably stolen by an independent modder) ... rest easy you beautiful dream and may arks potential not fool you into continuing your torment
hacker run this game in the official pvp servers you get to see flying cars from harry botter. you have servers with so much dupe loot spammed on the ground that you cant even place a cryo fridge you got to bring at least 100 c4 before you can place a cryo fridge and before you can even place them you go people in flying cars finding you and then kill you all drops are blocked and all obs are blocked so u cant leave server some drops have turrets on them too so dont buy
