Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition available now, with a whole new trailer alongside it

Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is now available on iOS and Android! This release includes a free-to-play single-player island experience. For access to all expansions (also purchasable individually) and additional benefits, the Ark Subscription Pass is available for $4.99 monthly or $49.99 annually.

The game's launch was officially confirmed, accompanied by a new trailer and details. Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is available on Google Play, the iOS App Store, and the Epic Games Mobile Store.

The core gameplay is free, with expansions offered as individual purchases. Alternatively, the Ark Pass Subscription unlocks all current and future expansions, single-player console commands, bonus XP, free keys, and exclusive server access.

Subscription Concerns

The subscription model might be a concern for some players who prefer one-time purchases. However, the option to buy expansions individually mitigates this somewhat. The nature of server access, and its potential impact on the crucial multiplayer aspect of the Ark experience, remains to be seen.

Despite the mobile adaptation, much of our existing Ark: Survival Evolved guides remain relevant. New players can consult our beginner's guide to get started with their dinosaur survival adventure.
