Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, a mobile port of the popular open-world survival game, has achieved over three million downloads, marking a significant 100% increase over its predecessor. This success is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Snail Games, Grove Street Games, and Studio Wildcard.

The game, set on a prehistoric dinosaur-inhabited island, challenges players to gather resources, craft weapons, and build bases to survive against both the environment and other players. Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition replaces the previous, less optimized version with enhanced graphics and performance. Grove Street Games has also committed to a long-term roadmap, promising the addition of popular maps in future updates.
