Ark cheats: Full list of codes & how to cheat in Survival Evolved

Read on to find out how to use cheats in Ark: Survival Evolved and for the complete list of cheat codes and console commands. The time to cheat and best those dinosaurs is now.

How to use cheats in Ark Survival Evolved

To use cheats in Ark: Survival Evolved, you need to open the game’s console screen and input commands. You will open the console screen by pressing Tab (mouse and keyboard controls), LB, RB, X, and Y together (on Xbox), or L1, R1, Square, and Triangle together (on PlayStation).

Once you have opened the console screen, you need to input a console command to activate a cheat (press enter to activate it). It’s worth bearing in mind that some cheats will not work before you type in “enablecheats <password>” so it’s recommended you activate that to begin with. The password there will be the admin password.

It’s also worth noting that some other cheats in multiplayer will only work if you have added “admincheat” as a prefix to console commands you wish to activate. In singleplayer, though, every cheat should work without a prefix or the enablecheats <password> command. Just type them in, press enter, and they’ll be activated.
