Ark: Survival Evolved has truly carved out a niche for itself as a top-tier survival game. By combining crafting and base building with the thrill of encountering dinosaurs, it has remained a powerhouse on Steam for years. With more than 40,000 players actively participating at any given time and an impressive 536,000 reviews boasting an 84% positive rating, the original Ark holds its place as a heavyweight in the survival game genre. This successful formula made its way to mobile late last year as Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, and this adaptation has shown no signs of slowing down.
Recently, Snail Games announced that Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition has surpassed an astounding three million downloads. This milestone signifies a robust three-week run since its debut. From the onset, the survival game garnered a strong player base, and its popularity only continues to grow.
When it hit the shelves at the end of 2024, Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition was downloaded more than a million times within just 24 hours. Snail Games pointed out that these numbers are double what the original Ark: Survival Evolved mobile version achieved at its launch in 2018.
If you’re eager to dive in, Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition is hosting an exciting event this weekend. Until Monday, January 13, players who log into official servers will enjoy double XP, as well as increased rates for harvesting, breeding, taming, and reduced mating intervals, making it a great time to get involved in the action.
While the game is free-to-play, it does offer in-app purchases on both iOS and Android. So, if you’re keen to venture beyond the main island or want to elevate your gaming experience, you might find yourself spending a few bucks.
