Windows 10 Ark Survival Evolved needing a xbox gold subscription?

Hi Hüseyin_572,

I believe that Ark Survival Evolved is not a cross platform game. I understand you and your friend are using Windows 10 but there is no cross play with Ark Survival Evolved between Xbox GamePass Beta and Steam.

hello there and thank you for coming to the forums, sorry to hear you are having some problems getting Ark to load up.

i dont know too much when it comes to pc gaming but i did find a link that could possibly help it gives multiple things to do to get it working with windows 10 -> Ark
Survival Evolved issues on windows 10

hope it helps.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

That’s odd because an Xbox Live Gold subscription is only needed for Xbox console.

Can I have the exact message prompt that you’re getting whenever you’re trying to play the game?

Ark Survival Evolved is a full game, and Ark Extinction is an add-on. Your title and description are contrary to each other and so I'm confused.

If you purchased Ark Survival Evolved then you should be just able to play it. However, if you purchased Ark Extinction then you must also purchase Ark
Survival Evolved.

Hello bladeturbo,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in learning if you will be able to play

Ark: Survival Evolved on both Xbox One and Windows 10 if you purchase it for one of the devices. The game is an

Xbox Play Anywhere game. This means that once you purchase the game it will be available to download on both Xbox One and Windows 10. We hope this information helps!
