Ark: Survival Evolved is 80% off in a Steam sale, but you'll have to be quick

If that Ark 2 trailer featuring - yep - Vin Diesel revealed at The Game Awards late last year caught your attention, but you're a newcomer to the survival games series, you might be interested to know its predecessor is currently seeing an eye-watering discount. Ark: Survival Evolved is currently 80% off on Steam, but you'll have to be quick about it.

Head to the 2017 action-adventure game's store page on Valve's platform and you'll see it's currently 20% of its regular price - £9 down from £44.99 (or $10 if you're based in the US). That's for the base game version, but the Explorer's Edition bundle, which includes the Ark: Survival Evolved Season Pass, is also knocked down 79% at the moment, priced at £16.86 rather than the usual £79.98.

The season pass includes three DLC packs - the Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Extinction expansions - which add things like new biomes with their own styles and ecosystems, as well as new creatures, and items, challenges.
