I don’t see the Xbox saves there so it looks like I can only play my saves if I rent a Nitrado server? If so, glad I wasted all that time over the summer keeping my bases from decaying. I’d been under the impression that since Xbox Ark is a “games anywhere” title and I’ve been running a PC server for my wife and I to connect with Xboxes from, that I’d be able to move our online games there. Just another kick in the teeth from WC I guess.

How does it work? Do you select the server map to be downloaded or it downloads all maps you have been on? I ask because I don't remember what was the last map my character was on before it sunsetted

you select what save to download. it was your duty to remember where was your char xD

you can wait this 3rd party website to be up-to-date once last snapshot is public, it will allow you an easier search of the server files: https://arkutils.netlify.app/tools/officialdownload

Take a look around the dead official server stats  on BattleMetrics, there is a list of players and how much time they spend on the server, you can filter and check to most probable ones, like if you know at least the map it was and etc... https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/ark

Hello Hello,

As of the time i'm writing this message right now : it's 5oct 20h46 (8PM) in California and 5oct 23h46 (11PM) in New York, and even nearly 6 AM of 6th october in France, from where im sending this message.

I've been checking both of these :
https://arkutils.netlify.app/tools/officialdownload/Oct2023
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/server-backups/
but only PC servers saves are available out there.

But as stated in the thread over here : " On Thursday 5th.... You’ll be able to: Access to all official save games for all platforms – PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. ".

So I'm replying to this thread hoping to make it more visible, and most of all : to find a way to get a hand over hours and hours of time spent on the game.

Since i'm convinced that there are many people that are or will be wondering the same about this issue, I'm asking clearly the topic, so googling the problem might make them fall here :

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD THE SAVE DATA DIRECTLY ON THE CONSOLE, FOR XBOX AND PS YOU CAN GET YOUR MAPS "RENTAL ONLY" THROUGH NITRADO, AT THE COST OF €20 FOR EACH MAP. 

BUT.... In SP the only thing that can be done is the transfer via ArkData (classic transfer via Obelisk/Transmitter) coming from an active rental Server [so: rent your map on Nitrado and transfer your Dinos/Data from there], for reference to a better explanation about this:

 

Beyond that: Noffek has created a guide that's definitely worth looking at:

On Xbox at least, Ark is a “Play Anywhere” title that you can run on a PC with normal save files. What was on the official servers is presumably the same file format and likely can also load into the PC version’s dedicated server (particularly since the Steam and Epic versions apparently work that way). I should at least get a chance to try it rather than have to rent a server to see my stuff again. I also had a few servers I had expected to download so even 3 day rentals are going to accumulate charges fast.
