About The Game★
What is ARK Survival Evolved?
ARK: Survival Evolved is Studio Wildcard's dinosaur-filled survival game, where players tame prehistoric creatures, build sprawling bases, and battle both the environment and each other across a series of massive open maps.
ChicagoServers' ARK hosting supports server clustering for multi-map communities, automatic Workshop mod updates, and cross-play between Steam and Epic Games — all on hardware with no CPU or RAM ceiling, so tribe wars and base-heavy servers stay smooth.
ARK's appeal has always been its scale — official maps like The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration can be linked together through clustering, and the game leans heavily on Steam Workshop for the mods, maps, and total conversions that keep long-running communities engaged.
Why host ARK Survival Evolved with ChicagoServers?

- Steam Workshop AutomationMods and map updates install and refresh automatically — no manual re-uploads after every patch.
- Cross-Play Built InSteam and Epic Games players share the same server without a separate setup.
- Handles Heavy BuildsUnmetered resources mean sprawling bases and dino pens don't translate into lag spikes.
