ARK Spinoff Surpasses Player Milestone

Summary

  • ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition surpassed 3 million downloads in just 3 weeks after its launch.
  • The game faces mixed reviews but continues to rise in popularity on iOS and Android.
  • Grove Street Games plans to add new maps and content to the dinosaur-infested world in the future.

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, the latest free-to-play mobile game from the ARK franchise, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing three million downloads within three weeks of its launch on December 18, 2024. This survival game, developed by Grove Street Games and published by Snail Games, invites players to explore a world filled with dinosaurs, where they can gather resources, craft weapons, build settlements, and tame prehistoric creatures.

Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its release, ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition has shown impressive growth in popularity on both iOS and Android platforms. As of the latest data, the game ranks 24th among adventure games on the iOS App Store and 9th among top-grossing adventure games on the Google Play Store. On the App Store, it holds a rating of 3.9 out of 5 from 412 reviews, while on the Play Store, it scores 3.6 out of 5 from over 52,500 user ratings.

The launch of ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition has outperformed the 2018 mobile port of ARK: Survival Evolved, with a 100% increase in player downloads. This success is particularly noteworthy considering the original ARK: Survival Evolved game, released in 2017, also achieved significant milestones, selling over a million copies before its official release. The franchise's popularity led to the remastered version, ARK: Survival Ascended, which was released in early access in 2023 with enhanced graphics.

Looking ahead, Grove Street Games is committed to expanding ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition with new content. Future updates are expected to include new maps such as Ragnarok, Extinction, Genesis Part 1, and Genesis Part 2, further enriching the game's dinosaur-filled world.

In addition to its success on mobile platforms, ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition is set to become available on the Epic Games Store in 2025, offering players additional options for accessing the game. Meanwhile, Studio Wildcard, the owner of the ARK IP, has shared an updated roadmap for ARK: Survival Ascended, outlining forthcoming content. Fans are also eagerly awaiting updates on ARK 2, which missed its anticipated late 2024 release window.
