Joining the Servers

SurviveX PvP is an unofficial ARK: Survival Ascended cluster of 17 servers with crossplay on — console and PC players all play together on the same servers, up to 100 players each.

Finding the Servers

1. From the ARK main menu, choose Join Game.
2. Set the session filter to Unofficial.
3. Search for SurviveX.
4. Pick a map and join — no password needed.

Every server holds up to 100 players. The mods the cluster uses download automatically the first time you join, so the first load takes a little longer — that’s normal.

Which Map Should I Start On?

Any of them. The whole cluster is connected — one character, one points balance, one tribe across every map — and you can travel between maps whenever you like. See Maps and Travelling for the full map list and how transfers work.

First Hour Checklist

• Looking for a tribe? Type /lfg in chat, or post in the #recruiting channel on Discord — or play solo, you get your own tribe automatically.
• You start with New Player Protection, so nobody can raid you while you find your feet — see the Raid Protection section.
• Points tick up just for being online. Your first dino from the shop is closer than you think.
• Join the Discord — global chat works both ways, so you can talk to the cluster even from your phone.
