Tribes: Ascend can no longer be launched from the Hi-Rez launcher, and can only be played via Steam. However, Hi-Rez has delisted Tribes: Ascend, and can no longer be found in Steam by performing a search, it can only be found by searching on Google. Below are instructions on how to play Tribes: Ascend without using Steam.


  1. Create a Hi-Rez Studios account
  2. Download the standalone client
  3. Create a new folder for the files to be extracted to
  4. Extract Tribes_Ascend_Parting_Gifts.zip into the new folder
  5. Browse to the new folder, open the Binaries folder, open the Win32 folder
  6. Find TribesAscend.exe, create a shortcut of it
  7. Right click on the shortcut, and select Properties
  8. In the Target field, add -hostx=23.239.17.171 to the end of the executable path
    • (Example: Tribes_Ascend_Parting_Gifts\Binaries\Win32\TribesAscend.exe -hostx=23.239.17.171)
  9. Click Apply.
  10. Run the shortcut, enter your username and password. Click Submit. Enjoy!
