Wondering how to dive into dinosaur-filled adventures with friends on your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right spot. Learn how to set up multiplayer in ARK: Survival Evolved on your Nintendo Switch.
Multiplayer gaming brings people together, and ARK: Survival Evolved on the Nintendo Switch is no exception. Let’s jump into how you and your friends can play together.
Quick Guide to Multiplayer on ARK
Getting into multiplayer mode in ARK on the Nintendo Switch is straightforward. First, you’ll need a stable internet connection. Then, choose between joining a server or hosting your own.
If you’re joining a server, simply select ‘Join ARK’ at the main menu. You can search for servers by name or filter based on your preferences. For hosting, pick ‘Host/Local’ and set your game settings. Don’t forget to invite your friends!
Host Your Own ARK Adventures
Hosting your own game lets you control the settings and who joins. After selecting ‘Host/Local,’ you can choose to play in ‘Single Player’ or ‘Non-Dedicated Multiplayer Session.’ The latter option lets others join your world.
For a more stable and persistent world, consider renting a dedicated server. This is great for large groups and ensures your ARK world is always there when you’re ready to play.
