About the game
A survival adventure where you gather, build bases and tame hundreds of prehistoric creatures on a dinosaur-filled island, alone or in a tribe with other players. It is a full Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original ARK with overhauled visuals and refined systems.
Did you know?
Ascended replaced ARK: Survival Evolved in 2023, and the transition proved controversial: Studio Wildcard shut down the original's official servers and charged for a remaster initially announced as a free upgrade.

Listed seller price shown — payment fees may vary by method.
Offers that are not a key (Gift) — show (2) Gift: the game arrives as a Steam gift and works only in the region it was bought for.
These are not ordinary keys. A gift is usually region-locked and arrives through someone else's account — if the region does not match, the game will not activate. An account means you get someone else's login: the game never becomes yours, and it breaks Steam's rules. A DLC or a bundle is not the base game. That is why none of them count towards the price at the top of the page.

Are keys from these stores legal?
Buying is legal — keys come from the grey market, so a small deactivation risk exists. So before paying, check the seller's buyer protection.

The service where the key activates — Steam, GOG, Epic or the publisher's platform. A key for one platform won't work on another, hence the separate filter.
