ARK from Steam and DLC from Microsoft, Will it work?
I own the base from steam, Microsoft is having a sale on their store. If I buy the season pass from Microsoft, will it work with the steam base game?

It's only a few dollars cheaper then steam has it, however, I also own the Xbox version of the game without any DLC, if it works with steam, I get the DLC for both systems.

This is my first time asking for information from steam, I apologize if I did something wrong.

That does help, thank you very much! One more question. If I buy the Microsoft version, will I still have access to the mods I have through steam? If not, can I get mods another way?

No.

Steam is a seperate platform from the Universal Windows Platform(ie xbox and ms store win10 uwp version)

Modded content is at the moment exclusive to the steam platform.

Thank you both very much for your incredibly fast responses. Is there anything I need to do to close this discussion?

Just unsub from it and ignore any responses there after to it if you so desire. You cant lock your own threads without asking for a moderator to lock it(which is a waste since someone else may organically have questions similar(there's been like 3 threads similar to this in the last day or 2 for example)

Yes it's dead. Leave it that way necromancer ;-).

Microsoft = xbox version.
Steam = PC version.

No you can't migrate DLC from one platform to the other.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
