We're excited to announce a special public PC beta branch featuring the next patch that will include the first look at Survival of the Fittest and the upcoming Cryopod update 😊! We’re eager to gather feedback for the upcoming patch, so If you're interested in participating, and on PC, we’d love for you to check it out soon!

You can use the instructions below to opt-in once we've sent out the beta branch name and server information via Discord!


You will need the Steam version of Ark Survival Ascended as you will be activating a beta branch of the game.

• Open your steam Library and right click on Ark Survival Ascended, then click "Properties"
  
• Navigate to the "Betas" tab on the menu that will have appeared.
  
• Select the proper beta branch from the Beta participation drop-down.
  

Doing this will cause your game to download an update, which will patch and update your game. You would also need to follow these steps if you choose to leave the beta program.



We have a few servers that have been renamed due to having duplicate names on the Official Network.

• EU-PVE-TheIsland5096 Renamed to EU-PVE-TheIsland5334
  
• EU-PVE-TheIsland5102 Renamed to EU-PVE-TheIsland5336
