Your first IRS ARK: Survival Evolved session
Get your setup ready, find the crew and plan your first session.
Confirm the edition and platform, then agree on a starting location and your tribe’s priorities. Check the server’s map, mod requirements and current notices before joining.

Open the Servers tab and read the connection instructions. Confirm your game version, platform and any required files. If there is no listing yet, ask in the game Discord before making changes to your installation.
2. Find your people
Use Find players from this game hub, or introduce yourself in Discord. Tell the crew when you want to play and what kind of session you are looking for.
3. Get ready to join
Copy the server address when one is provided. Complete any current access steps and read the current notices. Keep passwords and account information private.
4. Make a plan
Confirm the edition and platform, then agree on a starting location and your tribe’s priorities. Check the server’s map, mod requirements and current notices before joining.
5. Keep the hub handy
Check Announcements for changes, Events for scheduled sessions and Media for the crew’s latest footage. If you need help, include the game, server and exact error in your support request.
