What's New

• 🌴 Summer Bash is back from July 17 through August 5! 🌴
• Suit up for some fun in the sun with a fresh wave of summer cosmetics. Dive into the deep end, slip into something shark-shaped, add a touch of jelly to your beach-day look, and keep an eye out for returning favorites from summers past!
• Back at base, things are looking a lot bouncier. We're dropping inflatable furnishings, dino balloons, and a bunch of new structure skins to turn any settlement into a proper summer paradise. Even your arsenal is getting a makeover, giving some of ARK's heaviest firepower a wonderfully ridiculous new look.
• It's bright, it's chaotic, and it's going to leave you wondering whether that Tek Rifle is actually combat-ready or just one loud noise away from ruining a tribemate's birthday beach party.
