ARK: Survival Evolved is going primeval with ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition for mobile

ARK: Survival Evolved is roaring back onto mobile devices with a brand-new edition! ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition, arriving during the 2024 Holiday season, is the definitive mobile experience, packing in all previous DLC and more.

The 2018 mobile release of ARK: Survival Evolved was a hit, but this is a whole new level. ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition boasts significant improvements and enhancements powered by Unreal Engine 4. Crucially, it includes every available ARK expansion pack: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2. But the surprises don't stop there! The popular Ragnarok map joins the original ARK Island and Scorched Earth maps, creating an even more expansive world to explore. This edition also incorporates every update and addition since the game's 2015 debut.

A celebrated entry on our top 25 PC & console-to-mobile conversions list, ARK, alongside Rust, stands as a premier survival-crafting game. With hundreds of dinosaurs and unique creatures, plus the ability to join and battle within multiplayer tribes across lush landscapes (and beyond), this new version promises thousands of hours of gameplay right at your fingertips.
