During the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase it was confirmed that Ark 2 will release in 2023, and be coming to Xbox Game on Day one. We saw Vin Diesel ride a tyrannosaurus, and that's a series of words I never imagined having to type before. To celebrate the announcement, Studio Wildcard are giving away the original Ark: Survival Evolved free for a limited time.
It's been quite a journey for Ark, which entered Early Access in 2015. Chris investigated it at the time, and narrowed down its appeal to two things it lets you do: four hours and a dozen dead sheep to get working. It's continued being updated since.
As our resident survival game expert, Chris spent a lot of time writing about Ark. He declared the best mount in the game about riding dinosaurs was giant snail that eats only cake.
What a game. You can claim your copy of Ark on Steam any time between now and Sunday, June 19, at 10am PDT. While you're at it, Ark 2 has a Steam page as well.
