PixARK official server transfers open Aug 4, old worlds close Aug 24

PixARK is consolidating its official server fleet this August. On August 4, 2026, 14 new PVE official servers open and server transfers become available for all players on current official PvE and PvP servers. The old official servers — everything outside the new list — will be taken offline on August 24, 2026, so anyone who wants to carry characters and progress across needs to transfer before then.

The move is designed to deliver smoother, more stable official servers and a livelier community while preparing the foundation for the upcoming Terracrypt update. PixARK’s persistent worlds keep every block and structure, which is why the official network needs this reorganization.

Transfers open at:

• UTC: Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at 2:00 AM
• PDT: Monday, August 3, 2026, at 7:00 PM
• EDT: Monday, August 3, 2026, at 10:00 PM
• China Standard Time: Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM

The new servers are all PVE:

Additional servers will be brought online gradually after Terracrypt launches.

The team advises completing transfers well before the deadline rather than waiting for the final days.

The first new-server events are planned for Tuesday, August 11, 2026, featuring the exclusive Celestial Palace building skin and a selection of resource rewards. More events, rewards, and surprises will be announced later.

Old official servers shut down at:

• UTC: Monday, August 24, 2026, at 2:00 AM
• PDT: Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM
• EDT: Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:00 PM
• China Standard Time: Monday, August 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM

Save files from the closed servers will be available for download from Tuesday, August 25, 2026, for use in local single-player or private-hosted servers. A separate guide covering the transfer process, applicable rules, and instructions will be published in a future announcement.
