Recent updates

These cheats apply to both the original Ark Survival Evolved, and the more recently remastered Ark Survival Ascended.

Ark cheats let you make a wide range of changes to the game world, reducing the dangers faced from dinosaurs or other threats to give you much better odds of survival. Presented here we have a full suite of Ark Survival Ascended cheats and console commands, providing codes that can be used to instantly collect supplies and weapons that you'd usually have to spend hours grinding for, and even option that change the behavior of the beasts around you

Handily, a lot of these Ark cheats are compatible with PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, including the classics such as God mode and item spawning, so console players can easily get in on the action. Whether you're trying to simplify some of the more complicated processed or just playing around, here's everything you need to know about all of the Ark Survival Ascended cheats.

How to enable Ark cheats

Ark: Survival Evolved

To open the console and enter these Ark console commands, you should press the following key or button combinations:

* PC - Tab key (also works if using keyboard and mouse on a console)
* PlayStation - L1, R1, Square, and Triangle (in the pause menu)
* Xbox - LB, RB, X, and Y (in the pause menu)

This will then give you a small text bar to enter the Ark cheats you want to use. When you're finished, just press the same key or button combination again to close the console.

These cheats should work 'as is' in single player, but in multiplayer you'll need to input EnableCheats [Password] with the admin password first, and may need to then prefix them with admincheat if you're playing on a server. We've listed what we consider to be the most useful Ark cheats below, with the console commands in bold which are not case-sensitive.

Ark cheats for player console commands
