The Summer Bash 2025 event is now live in ARK: Survival Ascended.
This annual summer fun tradition has Survivors stocking up on pool floaties and risk-free dino-friendly sunscreen. Whether you’re chilling on the beach with an ice-cold Calien Soup or stylishly reeling in giant Sabertooth Salmon, it’s almost time to party like it’s 2015 (but with way more emotes).
During Summer Bash 2025, survivors can collect, tame, and breed dinosaurs at 2x rates while earning XP twice as fast. Hunt the Slidy ‘n Slippery Kairuku to earn popsicles you can craft into event items. Survivors can sport new “Gone Fishin'” T-shirts or swimwear, plus a new Gear Box and Fishing Chair, before diving into pool parties. Other stylish summer-themed cosmetics include Flower Crown Hats, Water Pistols, and more.
