You can use the instructions below to opt-in once we’ve sent out the beta branch name and server information via Discord!

You will need the Steam version of Ark Survival Ascended as you will be activating a beta branch of the game.

Open your steam Library and right click on Ark Survival Ascended, then click “Properties”
Navigate to the “Betas” tab on the menu that will have appeared.
Select the proper beta branch from the Beta participation drop-down.

Doing this will cause your game to download an update, which will patch and update your game. You would also need to follow these steps if you choose to leave the beta program.
