Survival of the Fittest
ARK: Survival of the Fittest (SOTF) mod is now available for crossplay on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation! Re-evolved from the ground up with redesigned mechanics, SOTF is a dinosaur battle royale pitting up to 60 combatants against each other in a fast-paced, action-packed struggle for survival, where players are ultimately pushed into an epic final showdown leading their creature armies into battle.
Winter Wonderland Event
Deck the halls with boughs of holly! This epic winter-themed holiday event begins today with new presents and goodies and will last until January 7, 2024 on all official ASA servers.
Every midnight Raptor Claus will sail across the star-filled night sky in his sleigh, dropping off presents filled with high-end loot, Mistletoe, and Coal for those naughty Survivors, which can be used to craft festive cosmetics. Not to be outdone by Raptor Claus, new friends will also drop Coal and Mistletoe, including Santa's Big Helper Yeti, Abominable Snowman, Pegomastax Grouch (which steals gift boxes in return for rewards), and Wild Rideable Reindeer (feed them Rockarrot and ride them to earn more loot).
Don’t miss out on the new Winter Wonderland Event Chibis Raptor Claus and Hyaenadeer and three new Event Cosmetics: Krampus Player Character Skin, Santa’s Workshop Smithy Structure Skin, and a Festive Forge Skin.
