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.
This success comes despite mixed initial reviews. The game, developed by Grove Street Games, offers a familiar survival experience: resource gathering, crafting, base building, and dinosaur taming. This strong performance significantly outpaces the 2018 mobile port of ARK: Survival Evolved, boasting a 100% increase in downloads. This positive launch follows Grove Street Games' successful 2022 Nintendo Switch port of ARK: Survival Evolved.
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). Despite the mixed reviews, its popularity continues to grow, currently ranking 24th among iOS adventure games and 9th among top-grossing Android adventure games.
Future plans for ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition include the addition of new maps, such as Ragnarok, Extinction, Genesis Part 1, and Genesis Part 2. The game is also slated for release on the Epic Games Store in 2025, expanding its accessibility to players. This positive momentum for the mobile title comes as Studio Wildcard releases an updated roadmap for ARK: Survival Ascended and prepares for the (delayed) launch of ARK 2.
Summary
- ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition achieved over 3 million downloads in its first three weeks.
- The game's popularity is steadily rising on both iOS and Android platforms, despite mixed reviews.
- Grove Street Games is actively developing new maps and content for future updates.
