How to Connect to Your Ark Survival Evolved Server

This guide will cover how to connect to your ARK Survival Evolved server, including the common in-game server browser and Steam browser methods.

Using the In-Game Browser

Tip

Sometimes, it may take a couple of minutes for your server to show up.

  1. 1
    Set a unique server name in the Game Host Bros Panel using this guide.
  2. 2
    Select Join Ark in the Ark Survival Evolved menu.
  3. 3
    Click Session Filter and select Unofficial.
  4. 4
    Search your Servers name in the box located at the top.

Tip

The in-game server browser can be buggy on Steam. For Steam users, we recommend connecting via IP in the Steam Browser method below instead.

Using the Steam Browser

  1. 1
    Access the Game Host Bros Panel and select your server.
  2. 2
    Copy your Server IP address from the sidebar.
  3. 3
    Open Steam and at the top click View > Game Servers.

    Click Favorites and select Ark Survival Evolved as the game.
  5. 5
    Click the Plus (+) Icon and add your [ServerIP:Port].

    Connect to your server.
