Ark: Survival Evolved can be a very rewarding game. Once you figure out how to craft and tame your dinosaurs, you're in for a treat. Sometimes, however, you just want to let off steam and in those cases cheats help a lot – so that being said, here are the commands so you can have it all at your fingertips.
Enabling Ark Commands
First, the console will need to be open (not the console you are playing on). To do this, simply press the button corresponding to your format:
- PS4 – L1, R1, square and triangle
- Xbox One – LB, RB, X et Y
- PC – Tab key (if you only use a keyboard and mouse)
After you tap it, you'll see a bar appear at the bottom of the screen, telling you that you did it correctly. This will also be where you enter commands.
Multiplayer
If you want to use cheats in multiplayer mode, you will need to type EnableCheats [Password]. The password is the one held by the administrator. If you're playing on a server, you'll also need to put admincheat in front before entering the command.
