not sure how this works, all i can find is people playing on xboxone then
going on the pc to pick up where they left off via windows 10. So not sure if this is
even possible to join my friends server on the xboxOne while i play on the pc?

thanks for any info on this

If you own the Steam version, then NO

If you own Windows 10 PC version that you brought from Microsoft directly, then you can play with Xbox players

Steam= Closed platform.
PS4= Closed platform
Xbox= Crossplatform with Microsoft's UWP(Universal Windows Platform) version of Windows 10(ie not steam version). Xbox owners can get a free version of Ark on this platform for their pc though.

Can Xbox connect with any unofficial servers bought for the pc version or is it only single player games they can cross play with?

Xbox cannot connect with Steam PC

Xbox can connect with the Microsoft store win 10 PC version

oh ok thanks for all that info that all explains things now, kinda sucks but guess it could change if MS ever buys steam, thanks again

? There are precisely zero games with cross play between xbox and PC. Blame microsoft as well as your lack of product research

Actually there have been a few in the past. I think the MMO Final Fantasy 11 was the first game to feature cross platform across PC, Xbox and Playstation, and there have been a couple since then too. Rocket League springs to mind - that had full crossplay when it first came out (on console release, since PC release was a good bit earlier), although I think recently Microsoft have closed that one down and only allowed Xbox players to play with other Xbox players.

Well i will eat my hat.

There are 9 steam games with cross platform with xbox... and Ark is not one of them.
