Parent Pro-Tip

ARK: Survival Of The Fittest is a competitive online survival game with strategic and cooperative elements. Be aware of the intense competition and potential for 'trash talk' and social comparison. While the game offers natural stopping points per match, the online ranking and reward systems can encourage extended play. Discuss healthy gaming habits and managing competitive emotions with your child.
