The success story seems to have no end: As of now, the dino game “ARK: Survival Evolved” has already attracted over 400,000 buyers, making it one of the most successful titles of the year.
64,000 players online simultaneously
Only a good week ago, the game became available on Steam and is currently in “Early Access,” which has been increasingly discredited in recent months. However, that doesn’t seem to deter customers. Perhaps the survival hunt with T-Rex and Co. is one of the big exceptions among unfinished survival games.
According to Jesse Rapczak, co-founder of Studio Wildcard, up to 64,000 players are online simultaneously, and if the success continues, the numbers will increase significantly by the weekend. ARK impressively demonstrates that even in the age of “cookie-cutter” survival games, good ideas and fresh approaches can prevail.
