ARK Server Status Checker

Enter the ARK server's IP address and click 'Check Server Status'. Our tool uses the Steam query protocol to check the server and returns the current status, player count, map name, and latency within seconds.

The status checker displays whether the server is online or offline, current and maximum player count, server ping (latency), the active map (e.g. The Island, Ragnarok, Fjordur), and the server name. This lets you quickly verify a server's status before connecting.

ARK servers may appear offline for several reasons: the server could be starting up (ARK can take 5-10 minutes to fully load, especially with mods), the IP or port might be incorrect, a firewall could be blocking query packets, or the server may have crashed. ARK servers are also offline briefly during game updates.

ARK uses port 27015 as the default Steam query port, which is separate from the game port (7777). Our tool defaults to the query port. If your server uses a different configuration, you can enter the custom query port in the port field.

You can check as often as needed. Results are cached for 30 seconds to avoid hammering the server with queries, so repeated checks within that window will return the cached result.
