Whether you are playing Survival Evolved or Survival Ascended , pack your water jars, tame a Jerboa, and never look directly at the sun. The desert is waiting, survivor.

When survivors think of ARK: Survival Evolved , lush jungles and deep oceans often come to mind. However, for those seeking a true test of grit, the map ARK Scorched Earth offers an entirely different beast. Released as the game’s first paid Expansion Pack, Scorched Earth strips away the safety net of The Island and throws players into a brutal, sun-scorched desert wasteland.
