While playing ARK: Survival Ascended is a blast, some players prefer to be creative and design their own features, mods, and items using the dev kit. Here is how to get the dev kit for ARK: Survival Ascended.
How to get the ARK Survival Ascended dev kit
You can download the official ARK: Survival Ascended dev kit from the Epic Games Store. It can be downloaded for free, but is a lengthy download as it contains the tools and the entire game. Once downloaded, you can begin making your own mods, including worlds, creatures, and more. ARK: Survival Ascended has partnered with CurseForge, meaning mods are now cross-platform between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox through the new Cloud Cooking tools.
