Up to 60 players can hunt, ally, and kill each other on a single server, or you can play single player. Players can also form Tribes to share resources, XP and spawn points.
The mobile version will be free-to-play with an optional subscription service, called Primal Pass. Primal Pass will eliminate ads while reserving server slots and bestowing free gifts. Ancient Amber can also be collected as a new material to purchase optional upgrades and features, including timed buffs, unique buildings, and resurrecting favorite dinosaurs.

ARK finally left Early Access and officially launched in Fall 2017 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Several major expansions have been released. A VR spin-off game launched earlier this year. ARK is due to launch on Nintendo Switch later this year.
ARK: Survival Evolved mobile will release June 14 on iOS and Android. It’s free to play with optional paid subscription, and rated T for Teen.
