How to Install and Play ARK: Survival Ascended on PC

One of the best benefits of ARK: Survival Ascended on our site is that the game is completely pre-installed. You do not need to run tedious installers or mount virtual ISO files.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions:

  1. Download the full archive using either BZZHR or GOFILE direct download buttons.
  2. Extract the downloaded archive (.zip or .rar) using free software like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
  3. Open the extracted game directory. Look for the main game executable file (.exe).
  4. Right-click the .exe file and select "Run as Administrator".
  5. Enjoy playing! If your antivirus flags any file like steam_api64.dll, make sure to add the folder to your antivirus whitelist as this is a known false positive.
