Snail Games Celebrates ARK Franchise’s 10-Year Anniversary with New Content and Global Community Events

A Thriving Franchise Marking 10 Years of Innovation Within the Sandbox Survival Genre

CULVER CITY, Calif., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, is proud to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of ARK: Survival Evolved (“ASE”), its flagship title and a pillar of its long-term success. Since its debut in Early Access in 2015, ARK has evolved into what we believe to be a world-renowned franchise with a massive player base, strong commercial performance, and an enduring presence in the sandbox survival gaming ecosystem.

With an install base of over 92.1 million for ARK: Survival Evolved and more than 3.7 billion hours of total playtime logged on Steam, the original title remains one of the most enduring and beloved survival games in the genre. ASE recorded 1.1 million Steam peak daily active users (DAU), a reflection of its global reach and dedicated community.

The next-generation remake, ARK: Survival Ascended (“ASA”), continues this legacy with a 4.2 million install base since launch in 2023 and more than 275 million hours played to date on Steam. ASA’s peak DAU of 308,000 illustrates the strong adoption of the UE5-powered game, with more content, performance enhancements, and cross-platform innovations planned for future growth.

In December 2024, ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition launched globally. The mobile mode effectively reduces hardware barriers and extends the reach of the ARK franchise to a broader international and mobile-first audience. Since its release, the mobile title has exceeded 6.1 million downloads across iOS and Android platforms. With additional premium expansion maps slated for the rest of 2025, Snail Games continues to enhance the mobile experience and reinforce its commitment to growing the ARK franchise on mobile platforms.

IGN Live 2025

As part of ARK’s 10th anniversary campaign, Snail Games will also be exhibiting at IGN Live, which will be held from June 6th through June 8th. ARK will be featured both through an interactive booth experience and a dedicated developer panel, providing a platform to engage directly with fans and highlight one of ARK’s next chapters ARK: Aquatica. At the booth Snail will be hosting a contest with a $10,000 prize pool, stop by for more details!
