Cheat codes for Ark on PC: use god mode, fly, teleport, unlock all engrams, tame dinos, and more.
Tired of the goody two-shoes dino life? There's a solution: Ark cheats. Dinosaur sandbox Ark: Survival Evolved lets you enter all sorts of console commands to enable god mode, level up, teleport, spawn items, instantly tame dinosaurs, unlock all engrams, and more. These Ark cheats are for singleplayer mode, or for multiplayer mode if you're the server admin (or if you've been given the server admin password). Otherwise you can't use them online. And if you're looking to further tweak your experience, check out our guide to thebest Ark mods.
There are cheats for Ark: Genesis below as well that will work with the new dinosaurs and items added in Ark's most recent expansion pack.
You can access the console in Ark by pressing the Tab key—you'll see a narrow box open at the very bottom of your screen. That's where you'll be typing in the cheats.To close the console, press Tab again.
In singleplayer mode, just type the cheats to enable them. In multiplayer, if you have the admin password, you'll need to type 'EnableCheats <password>' before you can use cheats. Some cheats (while playing on a server) will require the prefix 'admincheat'. In singleplayer, you don't need to worry about a prefix. Just type them and press Enter.
The cheats are written in bold below (and they're not case-sensitive).
