What these counts mean

Claimed communities plus 177 unclaimed servers listed from Steam's public server list, counted by unique map endpoint.

Missing counts are unknown, not zero. Snapshot: 2026-10-17T00:36:20+00:00. Counts describe server sessions, not unique people.

About the ARK: Survival Evolved server list

Where the servers come from

We read Steam's public ARK: Survival Evolved server list every few hours. A server joins this list once it has had five or more players in at least half of our checks over seven days, and drops off after 14 days without players. Wildcard's official servers and servers still using a default name are left out.

What each server page shows

Map, PvE or PvP, BattlEye, the in-game day, cluster membership and every Workshop mod, linked to its Steam page. Player history covers 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, with the hours the server is usually busiest. It all comes from Steam and the server itself, and we never collect player names.

Claimed communities

Owners claim a server by putting a short code at the start of its name for a few minutes. Once we see it, they can group every map they run into one community, add rules, rates and a Discord link, and show above unclaimed servers.

How to choose an ARK server

Pick the map first

Each map plays differently. The Island and Ragnarok suit new tribes; Aberration and Extinction suit people who already know the game.

PvE or PvP

PvE means nobody can raid you. PvP servers vary a lot: look at the rules, raid windows and offline protection before you build.

Look at the player graph, not just the count

The 7-day chart and busiest hours show whether a server is alive when you play, not just right now.

Check the rates and mods

Boosted rates make taming and building faster. Modded servers need the listed Workshop mods installed.

Prefer claimed listings for rules

A claimed community shows its rules, rates and Discord. Unclaimed servers show only what Steam and the server report.

Seen online matters

A server that is seen online 99% of the time is easier to live on than one that is often unavailable.

ARK: Survival Evolved server list FAQ

How is this ARK: Survival Evolved server list ranked?

By the players we observe on each server. Claimed communities appear first, then unclaimed servers, busiest first. Sponsored Server placements are labelled and never change this order.

Where do the player counts come from?

From Steam's public server list and the server's own public query. A count older than 15 minutes is not shown: a missing count means unknown, not zero. We never collect player names.

What does "unclaimed" mean?

The server appears in Steam's public ARK: Survival Evolved list and has had players regularly, so we list it. Its owner has not claimed it yet, so it has no description, rules or rates until they do.

How do I add or claim my ARK server?

If your server is already listed, open it and click "Claim this server", then put the short code we give you at the start of your server name (SessionName) for a few minutes. As soon as we see it, the server is yours. If it is not listed, use "List Your ARK Server" to add a community of up to 20 map servers and put your code at the start of each server name. Listings are free.

How do I join a server from this list?

Search for the server name under Unofficial in ARK's in-game server browser, or add the game address shown on the server page to your Steam favourites. Modded servers need their Workshop mods installed first.

Can I vote for a server?

Yes. Every listed server has a vote page: one vote per server every 24 hours, no account needed. Votes reset each month and have their own sort; they never change the player-based ranking.

Does TopServer.Network host ARK servers?

No. We compare hosting providers. If you want to run your own server, see our ARK server hosting comparison.
