Overview

ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack is a 2016 Action game developed by Studio Wildcard, who self-published it. On Steam it has gathered 5,279 player reviews, 79% of them positive, which counts as a mostly positive reception among indie titles in the Action category. The game is available on linux, mac, windows. As a self-published Action project, ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack sits among the independent releases indielist tracks where the developer Studio Wildcard retained both creative and commercial control, a path many indie studios weigh against signing with a publisher. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 253,000 to 591,000 units, with the full Boxleiter factor breakdown shown on this page rather than a single black-box figure. Within indielist's catalog of indie games mapped to their studios, publishers, and funding, ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack can be compared against similar Action titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack at roughly 253,000 to 591,000 copies, with a median around 422,000, derived from its 5,279 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $3.6M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem

indielist positions ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack within the Action segment so players can surface comparable titles by shared tags and genre rather than by storefront promotion. On the developer side, Studio Wildcard's other releases are one click away, letting players and analysts see where ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack sits among the studio's body of work without a publisher in the loop. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Action game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
