Ok so I bought Ark Survival one Xbox one cause my computer was too weak to handle it. I did this after the 60min trial (which I only did like 30 min of).
Anyway the game was 35$ which was 15$ more than Steam. Then my brother downloads the game on his Xbox one, just the trial and he has been playing for over 3 hours without issue. He joined the official servers and even my own.
What is going on? Did I just waste 35$ for no reason?
