Greetings Survivors!

Lost Island transfers are opening next week on Friday! Once enabled, players will be able to download items and creatures onto the map without restriction. On Wednesday we're also releasing a patch for console that includes over 70 fixes across all maps. Map/level changes tend to be quite big and we're expecting this patch to be a significant download so consider this a heads up in advance!

If you're a modder for ARK, our Sponsored Mods program is still accepting applicants. Check out the latest entries in the sponsored mod program here[survivetheark.com]

We are anxious to share more on the upcoming Fjordur release, but in the meantime, we're leaving you with a look at some great community content!
