Yes. ARK: Survival Ascended supports mods across its platforms, and the modding ecosystem is built to work across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. The game emphasizes cross‑platform modding, allowing PC-created mods to run on consoles and offering a dedicated in‑game mod collection to browse and install content from CurseForge. This cross‑platform approach is a core part of ASA’s modding strategy. Cross‑Platform Modding Cross‑Platform Modding on Steam .
Mods are hosted and managed primarily through CurseForge, with in‑game access and cooking/porting for multiple platforms. Creators use the ARK Dev Kit, upload to CurseForge, and mods are cooked for all relevant platforms so players on PC and consoles can download and play them from the in‑game mod browser. Premium mods are also available, sometimes requiring purchase to use on servers or in single‑player modes. See the official CurseForge integration and modding workflow for ASA: ArkSA CurseForge page.
