How to play ARK: Survival Evolved on cloud gaming
You can play ARK: Survival Evolved on cloud gaming in three ways: with a subscription that includes the game, by streaming your own game copy (BYOG), or by installing it on a full cloud PC. Below, we explain each method so you can choose the one that works for you.
Play without owning the game
To play ARK: Survival Evolved on cloud gaming without buying it, you can use a catalog-based service where the game is included in the subscription plan:
- Xbox Cloud in the Premium and Ultimate plan
After subscribing, you can open the service's catalog in the dedicated app or in your browser (if supported). From there, you can start the stream and play ARK: Survival Evolved without installing or downloading it. The plan will also give you access to other games in the service's catalog.
Bring your own game (BYOG)
If you want to play ARK: Survival Evolved on cloud gaming with your own copy, you can use a catalog-based service that supports it as a BYOG title on its subscription plans:
- Boosteroid: works with any plan
- GeForce Now: works with any plan
- Xbox Cloud: works with any plan (Stream your own game)
To use your own copy of the game, you need to link the store account where you own it to the cloud gaming service. Supported store versions can vary by service:
| Service | Supported store versions |
|---|---|
| Boosteroid | Epic Games Store and Steam |
| Xbox Cloud | Xbox Store |
| GeForce Now | Epic Games Store and Steam |
Once your store account is linked, you can open the service's catalog, select ARK: Survival Evolved, and start streaming in your browser or a supported app. Depending on the service, a brief cloud setup may be required before the first launch. The plan can also be used to stream other games you own that are available in the service's catalog.
ARK: Survival Evolved is a "Stream your own game" title on Xbox Cloud Gaming, which means you need to own or buy the Xbox Store version to play it.
Install and play on a cloud PC
With a full cloud PC service, you can install and play almost any PC game, including ARK: Survival Evolved, on a virtual desktop in the cloud:
- Shadow PC: Provides a full Windows desktop you can access via apps or a browser.
- airgpu: Offers a Windows-based cloud PC you access via remote-desktop apps.
- CloudDeck: Delivers a Linux-based cloud gaming setup you access via remote-desktop apps.
After setting up your cloud PC, you can install almost any supported store version of ARK: Survival Evolved and use additional 3rd party tools or mods if the game supports them.
