ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition's Impressive Debut: 3 Million Downloads in Three Weeks
ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, the free-to-play mobile spin-off of the popular ARK: Survival Evolved franchise, has achieved a remarkable milestone. Within just three weeks of its December 18, 2024 launch, it surpassed three million downloads on iOS and Android.
Despite receiving mixed reviews upon release, the game's popularity continues to surge. This success surpasses even the initial launch of ARK: Survival Evolved's mobile port in 2018, boasting a 100% increase in downloads. The game's publisher, Snail Games, attributes this to several factors, including the game's engaging survival gameplay, featuring resource gathering, crafting, base building, and dinosaur taming.
Currently, ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition holds a respectable position in app store rankings, sitting at 24th among adventure games on iOS and 9th among top-grossing adventure games on Android. While user reviews are mixed (3.9/5 on the App Store and 3.6/5 on the Google Play Store), the high download numbers demonstrate significant player engagement.
Developer Grove Street Games has announced plans for substantial future content updates, including new maps like Ragnarok, Extinction, and both Genesis parts. This commitment to post-launch support further solidifies the game's long-term potential.
The game's availability will expand further in 2025 with its release on the Epic Games Store, offering players greater platform choice. This launch follows Grove Street Games' successful work on the Nintendo Switch port of ARK: Survival Evolved in 2022, highlighting their expertise in optimizing the ARK experience for different platforms. The continued success of ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition marks another strong release for the developer and the franchise.
