Getting started

How to join CHILL

Two ways on PC and one on PlayStation / Xbox — pick yours.

…

Before you start

  • You need ARK: Survival Ascended, updated to the latest version. The server is crossplay: PC and PlayStation / Xbox.
  • Client and server versions must match — if you can't see or join the server after an update, restart the game and try again.

Ways to connect

  1. Server browser (easiest)

    1. Launch ARK: Survival Ascended and choose Join Game.
    2. Switch to the Unofficial tab and enable Show Player Servers.
    3. Type CHILL Descended in the search — both maps show up (full names are in the list above). Pick a map and press Join.

    A freshly restarted server can take a few minutes to appear in the list.

  2. Direct connect with the console

    1. At the main menu open the console with Tab.
    2. Type open IP:PORT and press Enter.

    Use the server's game port (UDP) shown in the box above.

  3. PlayStation / Xbox

    1. Choose Join Game and switch the filter to Unofficial.
    2. Enable Show Player Servers and search for CHILL.
    3. Pick a map and press Join. Consoles can't use the open command.
