Is it possible to run a dedicated server (not in ARK itself)?

Hi ryemck93,

Yes - but you will must host from a separate machine (Xbox or preferably PC) from which you host the server.

In short:

1.) Create a spare Xbox Live "Silver" (free) account which will be used to host the dedicated session from your PC.

2.) Friend all Xbox Live players who wish to join from Xbox or PC (Windows Store version only)

3.) Start Ark as "Run Dedicated Server" on the Server machine under the silver account ID

4.) Players will use option to "Join" the silver player's game through XBLive.

5.) Enjoy!

@Juggernaut posted a very comprehensive guide here.  This is the best information I have found for setting up a dedicated server of this type.
