How to claim ARK: Survival Evolved for free on Epic Games Store

ARK: Survival Evolved is currently one of the most popular survival sandbox video games, with a separate fanbase. The game takes players into a pre-historic era where dinosaurs and other dangerous creatures roam freely in the air, land, and water. Players must farm, mine, hunt, scavenge, build bases, join tribes, craft weapons and tools, meet their basic needs, and cope with extreme weather, besides fighting and taming dangerous creatures to "survive the ARK."

ARK: Survival Evolved has 12 official DLCs and several unofficial mod maps. Each DLC comes with new maps, themes, bosses, and sometimes even new tameable creatures. Some of these DLCs are connected to the main story, while others are standalone. It has all the right elements of a survival game, as players use various tactics to micromanage their way up to the top.

Studio Wildcard and millions of fans from around the world have come forward to create a great ARK community.

The latest DLC in the ARK: Survival Evolved series is ARK Fjordur, and its theme is based on Norse mythology. Earlier this year, at the Xbox Bethesda Showcase Event, Studio Wildcard announced ARK II, starring Vin Diesel as the protagonist named Santiago. Built on the new Unreal Engine 5, the game will officially launch in the spring of 2023. During ARK II announcement week, Studio Wildcard also gave away free Steam copies of ARK: Survival Evolved.

ARK is currently available on the Epic Games Store as the week's free game, alongside Gloomhaven. Gamers will be able to claim their free copy before September 29. Runbow and Drone Racing League (DRL) are next in line, and will be available for free from September 29. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to claim a free copy of ARK: Survival Evolved from the Epic Games Store.
