A Comprehensive Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>The world of ARK: Survival Evolved is vast and dangerous, and often, the best way to conquer its challenges is with friends. However, the number of players who can join your game varies significantly depending on how you choose to play. So, to answer the core question directly: <strong>The number of players who can join an ARK game ranges from 2 to 70+, depending on whether you\u2019re playing locally, on a non-dedicated server, or on a dedicated server.<\/strong> Let\u2019s dive into the details.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Player_Limits_in_ARK_Survival_Evolved\"><\/span>Understanding Player Limits in ARK: Survival Evolved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ARK offers several ways to play with others, each with its own player capacity:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Local_Co-op_2_Players\"><\/span>Local Co-op: 2 Players<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a local multiplayer experience, you can engage in <strong>2-player local co-op<\/strong> right on the same device. This is perfect for playing with a friend or family member in the same room. This setup is usually found on consoles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-Dedicated_Servers_Up_to_4_Players\"><\/span>Non-Dedicated Servers: Up to 4 Players<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Non-dedicated servers<\/strong> allow you to host a game directly from your console or PC while playing. These servers have a <strong>limit of 4 players<\/strong>, including the host. A key restriction of this type of setup is the <strong>tethering range<\/strong>. Players must stay within a certain distance from the host, which can be limiting, especially as you explore the larger maps. Non-dedicated servers are an accessible way to play with a few friends without the complexities of setting up a dedicated server.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dedicated_Servers_Up_to_70_Players\"><\/span>Dedicated Servers: Up to 70+ Players<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dedicated servers<\/strong> offer the most flexibility and player capacity. They&#8217;re hosted on a separate machine and are designed to handle larger groups, typically supporting <strong>up to 70 players or more<\/strong>, depending on the server&#8217;s hardware and settings. This is the ideal setup for larger communities, clans, or anyone seeking a persistent world they can access anytime. Dedicated servers offer smoother performance and remove the tethering limitation, allowing players to roam freely across the map.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs_about_Player_Limits_in_ARK\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Player Limits in ARK<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are some common questions about player limits in ARK, providing more context and clarifying various aspects of multiplayer gameplay:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_I_play_ARK_with_friends_only\"><\/span>1. Can I play ARK with friends only?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can absolutely play ARK with friends only. Whether you&#8217;re on a <strong>public server, a private server,<\/strong> or hosting a <strong>non-dedicated session<\/strong>, you have the control to play with just your selected group. For public and private servers, you&#8217;ll share the server name or direct IP address for your friends to join. For non-dedicated sessions, you can often invite friends directly through your platform&#8217;s interface (Steam for PC, for instance).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_do_I_make_an_ARK_server_for_free_for_friends\"><\/span>2. How do I make an ARK server for free for friends?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Setting up a <strong>free ARK server<\/strong> for friends is possible through certain hosting platforms that offer free plans. Usually you&#8217;ll have to sign up for an account. For example, some platforms let you set up servers with limited resources or player slots, which are often sufficient for smaller groups. This is a great option for casual players who don&#8217;t want to invest in a dedicated server.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_do_I_play_ARK_Survival_Evolved_with_friends_privately\"><\/span>3. How do I play ARK: Survival Evolved with friends privately?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To play <strong>ARK privately with friends<\/strong>, you can host a non-dedicated server and select the <strong>&#8220;Private Game&#8221;<\/strong> option. This will ensure only those you invite can join. You might need to use your platform&#8217;s friend list to invite them directly. You can also host a dedicated server and password-protect it for a private experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Is_it_free_to_host_an_ARK_server\"><\/span>4. Is it free to host an ARK server?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It can be! Many options exist to host <strong>free ARK servers<\/strong>. Some free hosting platforms offer a basic level of service, usually with some limitations on resources and player slots. Alternatively, you can host a dedicated server on your own computer (if your system can handle it), which avoids server hosting fees, though comes with other constraints on your system&#8217;s performance. You can also join community-hosted servers without paying a fee to participate.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Why_cant_I_play_with_my_friend_on_ARK\"><\/span>5. Why can&#8217;t I play with my friend on ARK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Several reasons could prevent you from playing with a friend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Incorrect Server Address and Port Number:<\/strong> Double-check the address and port to make sure they are exactly right.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outdated Game Version:<\/strong> Make sure everyone is playing on the latest version of the game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server Offline:<\/strong> Confirm that the server is actually online and available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mods:<\/strong> If mods are being used, everyone needs to have the correct mods installed and activated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Game Issues:<\/strong> Restarting the game might help resolve temporary problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Can_friends_join_a_non-dedicated_server_ARK\"><\/span>6. Can friends join a non-dedicated server ARK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. Once the host opens their <strong>non-dedicated server<\/strong>, friends can join the match through the in-game server browser. However, remember the <strong>4-player limit<\/strong> and <strong>tethering restrictions<\/strong> of non-dedicated servers. Ensure everyone has the same mods subscribed to and that the game is updated to the latest version.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Can_my_friend_play_on_my_ARK_server_without_me\"><\/span>7. Can my friend play on my ARK server without me?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On a <strong>non-dedicated server<\/strong>, your friends cannot play without you. The game session is hosted on your machine, and if you\u2019re not online, the server isn&#8217;t active. For friends to play while you&#8217;re away, you would need to run a <strong>dedicated server<\/strong> or use cheats to remain online.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_What_is_a_non-dedicated_server_ARK\"><\/span>8. What is a non-dedicated server ARK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A <strong>non-dedicated server<\/strong> is a game mode where you host a session directly from your console or PC. It\u2019s designed for seamless <strong>cooperation<\/strong> with a small group of friends. They are easy to set up and usually have lower latency, as the host is running the server locally, but are limited by the number of players and tethering range.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Is_ARK_always_multiplayer\"><\/span>9. Is ARK always multiplayer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, ARK: Survival Evolved offers both <strong>single-player and multiplayer<\/strong> options. You can choose to play alone, explore the world, and tackle challenges at your own pace, or join others for cooperative or competitive play.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_How_much_does_it_cost_to_host_a_server_in_ARK\"><\/span>10. How much does it cost to host a server in ARK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The cost to host an ARK server can vary significantly. While free options exist, as previously discussed, renting a server can range from <strong>$15 to $30+ per month<\/strong>. Factors like the server\u2019s location, number of slots, and desired resources will impact the price.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Can_your_friends_join_your_ARK_server\"><\/span>11. Can your friends join your ARK server?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, your friends can join your ARK server, whether it is a <strong>dedicated or a non-dedicated server<\/strong>. Dedicated servers offer the most flexibility and allow friends to come and go as they please. Non-dedicated servers allow your friends to play with you while you are playing but require your presence.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_What_is_the_minimum_for_an_ARK_server\"><\/span>12. What is the minimum for an ARK server?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A basic dedicated ARK server usually requires:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>8 GB of RAM<\/strong> (Recommended to go higher for better performance.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>20 GB of Disk Space<\/strong> (25-50 GB recommended)<\/li>\n<li><strong>2 CPU Cores<\/strong> with more than <strong>3.0 GHz<\/strong> (More cores and higher clock speeds are needed for more players)<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>64-bit<\/strong> operating system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Should_I_run_a_dedicated_or_non-dedicated_server_ARK\"><\/span>13. Should I run a dedicated or non-dedicated server ARK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Choosing between a dedicated and non-dedicated server comes down to your needs. <strong>Dedicated servers<\/strong> offer superior performance, can handle more players, and eliminate tethering. They also allow for continuous gameplay. <strong>Non-dedicated servers<\/strong> are cheaper and simpler to set up, but are limited in player numbers, tethering, and require the host to be online.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Do_non-dedicated_servers_save_ARK\"><\/span>14. Do non-dedicated servers save ARK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, <strong>non-dedicated servers save<\/strong> when the host closes the game. This means progress is saved when the host properly exits. Dedicated servers are typically saved with admin commands or via the server configuration setup.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_What_is_the_best_ARK_map_to_play_with_friends\"><\/span>15. What is the best ARK map to play with friends?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best ARK map to play with friends is subjective, however, some maps that are generally well-regarded are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lost Island:<\/strong> Large and diverse with lots to explore.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ragnarok:<\/strong> A massive map with varied biomes and plenty of resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fjordur:<\/strong> Contains elements from multiple maps with some unique features.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Island:<\/strong> The original map, with a good balance for new and experienced players.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding how many people can join an ARK game is crucial for planning your multiplayer adventures.
