# How to Quickly Find and Join Your Ark: Survival Evolved Server

Learn how to join your ARK: Survival server through Steam by using this tutorial.

To quickly find and join your Ark: Survival Evolved server, you can use a feature that is part of the Steam game launcher.

Go to the menu in the very upper left hand corner of the Steam window.

![Shows Steam with a highlight red box around the view toolbar item](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/368x117/47f188a266/steam.png/m/)

A small menu pops up, and click "servers" on that menu.

![Shows the view dropdown of steam with Game Servers selected](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/370x450/faad5d7e98/steam-game-servers.png/m/)

This window below will appear. Click the `+` button near the lower right corner.

That will make a smaller window appear, and enter the IP address of your server there, and save it.

![Shows the Add Server by IP box when adding a steam game server](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1200x700/308c354484/steam-game-servers-window-add-server.png/m/1000x0/smart)

If the server is running, it should now appear in the center section of the Steam server window.

Click on that server listing, and you can now join the server through Steam.
