ARK Variant Surges to Milestone Figure

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition Achieves Remarkable Success

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, the free-to-play mobile game launched on December 18th, 2024, has already surpassed three million downloads within its first three weeks. This spin-off of the popular ARK: Survival Evolved franchise, developed by Grove Street Games, is available on iOS and Android.

Despite receiving mixed reviews upon release, the game's popularity continues to grow. Its strong performance surpasses even the 2018 mobile port of ARK: Survival Evolved, boasting a 100% increase in downloads. This success follows the well-received 2022 Nintendo Switch port of ARK: Survival Evolved, also handled by Grove Street Games.

Currently, the game holds a 3.9/5 rating on the App Store (412 ratings) and a 3.6/5 rating on the Google Play Store (over 52,500 ratings). It's ranked 24th among adventure games on iOS and 9th among top-grossing adventure games on Android.

Future plans for ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition include the addition of new maps, such as Ragnarok, Extinction, Genesis Part 1, and Genesis Part 2, expanding the dinosaur-filled world for players. The game is also slated for release on the Epic Games Store in 2025. This expansion follows Studio Wildcard's recent roadmap update for ARK: Survival Ascended and precedes anticipated news regarding ARK 2.
