If you frequent the front page of Twitch, you may have noticed the sudden and overwhelming emergence of Ark: Survival Evolved among streamers, an online survival crafting game currently on Steam Early Access. But unlike all those other silly early access survival games, this one has rideable dinosaurs! Despite entering into a well-saturated genre, the game has pretty much stayed in the top five most viewed games on Twitch since its streaming embargo lifted on June 1st—an impressive feat, especially considering it's been above League of Legends, CS:GO, and other consistently popular games for portions of that time.
This is the first time we've played Ark, so watch from the embed above or on our Twitch channel as we livestream our first impressions of the game and figure out why so many people are watching it.
Our resident early access survival game expert Chris Livingston would usually be the go-to guy to cover this sort of game, but apparently Ark and his computer had a few disagreements. Every time he tried to login to a server, the game would load for a very long time before crashing and locking up his computer. As is the case with many early access titles, there will be bugs and unexpected problems, but clearly other people have been able to play the game alright. Regardless, we'll be sure to keep a close eye on the game's performance while we stream.
We livestream three days a week—Mondays and Fridays from 3-5pm PDT and Wednesdays from 10am-12pm PDT—and often give first looks at unreleased games and do key giveaways in the chat. This will also be the channel where the PC Gaming Show, our E3 press conference exclusively for PC gaming, will be broadcast next Tuesday, the 16th from 5-8pm PDT. Be sure to follow our channel on Twitch to know exactly when we go live.
