ARK: Survival of the Fittest

StreamerHouse brought 1,481 viewers in 2020 to ARK: Survival of the Fittest, Studio Wildcard's battle royale spin-off of survival sandbox ARK. While originally launched in 2016, the house covered it during a 2020 resurgence when players wanted Hunger Games with dinosaurs. The streams captured 72-player matches where surviving meant taming dinos faster than opponents, building defenses, and ultimately murdering everyone else in an ever-shrinking arena. The year was 2020, peak battle royale era, and StreamerHouse showed that ARK's jank translated perfectly to competitive last-man-standing chaos. The 1,481 peak viewers proved that even a years-old battle royale spin-off of a broken survival game could pull an audience when the core loop of "tame T-Rex, kill everyone" worked.
