Welp, hope you bought ARK: Survival Evolved back when it was super cheap on Steam because its price has now increased for PC players to a whopping $59.99 (or $67.98 if you want the bundle with Scorched Earth tucked in too). Europeans have extra reason for salt; the game is €70 overseas, which is double the old price. We knew the price hike was coming (and how high) since they told us at E3, but it’s a shock all the same.
The rationale, Studio Wildcard says, is to “ensure parity” ahead of the launch. So the bad news is that digital PC players will now be paying exorbitant console box prices. The good news is that launch really is coming this time and we can stop making snide jokes about selling expansions during early access soon. Just kidding, we’re never going to stop that. Expect it on August 8th. And don’t miss our E3 interview with Wildcard on early access and launch!
