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 sold separately) and additional benefits, the Ark Subscription Pass is available for $4.99 monthly or $49.99 annually.

The game's arrival on Google Play, the iOS App Store, and the Epic Games Mobile Store expands accessibility for players. The core Ark experience is free, with expansions offered as individual purchases. Alternatively, the Ark Pass Subscription unlocks all current and future expansions, provides single-player console commands, bonus XP, free keys, and exclusive server access.

Subscription Concerns: The subscription model might be a point of contention for some players who prefer one-time purchases. However, the option to buy expansions individually mitigates this concern somewhat. Multiplayer server access, depending on its implementation, could also prove a significant factor, given its importance in the original Ark: Survival Evolved.

Despite the subscription element, the game retains the core gameplay of the original Ark experience. For those new to the franchise, our beginner's guide to Ark: Survival Evolved remains a valuable resource.
