Ark: Survival Evolved Cheats Codes and Console Commands

Use God Mode, fly, teleport, unlock all engrams, tame dinos, and more by using the given Cheats.

Looking to enhance your experience in the game? To do this, use Ark cheats. Ark: Survival Evolved is a sandbox, after all, so you might as well play around in it. Ark cheats let you enter all sorts of console commands to enable god mode, level up instantly, teleport, spawn items, instantly tame dinosaurs, unlock all the engrams, and more. 

In this article, we’ll tell you all the cheats of Ark: Survival Evolved as well as how to use them on PC & many other consoles. So, let’s dive in.

How to Use Ark Cheats on PC & Consoles?

Use Ark Cheats on PC & Consoles.

You can access the console in Ark by pressing the Tab key On PC. 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 single-player 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 single-player, you don’t need to worry about a prefix. Just type them and press Enter.

On consoles, you’re going to need to put in a fighting game-Esque button combination. All at once, you need to press:

  • PlayStation consoles: L1, R1, Square, and Triangle.
  • Xbox consoles: LB, RB, X, and Y.

Once the console is open you need to type enablecheats. If you need the password, you’d type it like this: enablecheats [type the password]. Once that’s done, you can start putting in cheats to your heart’s desire.

When you put in a cheat, you then need to type admincheat as a prefix to any console command. If that doesn’t work, you can try just prefixing the command with cheat
