FULL STORY
======================================================================

Studio Wildcard and Grove Street Games survival game Ark: Survival Ascended - 
an Unreal Engine 5 remake of 2017s Ark: Survival Evolved - has been given an 
Xbox Series X |S release date, less than two weeks after it launched in early 
access on PC. 

In a blog post on the Ark website, Studio Wildcard confirmed that the Series 
X|S version is on track for release on Tuesday, November 14. Itll launch with 
crossplay enabled, so players on PC and Xbox can play together. 

Console-specific servers will also exist so that crossplay isnt a 
requirement. Additionally, official servers for the PvP, PvE and Small Tribes 
modes will be available which will be running boosted rates for a period of 
time to allow players starting on them to catch up, with the hope of 
synchronizing the rates by mid-December. 

As for the PS5 version, this will also release with cross-platform play and 
console-specific servers, including more mode-specific servers with even 
greater boosted rates to help players catch up when it launches. However, its 
still not known exactly when it will be released - the developers are hoping 
itll be by the end of the month. 

Were hoping to have a more precise date to share with you soon as were 
currently finalizing this with Sony, but it is slated for the end of 
November, Studio Wildcard wrote. We know this isnt ideal, but were optimistic 
well be able to share a date very soon! 

The blog post also mentioned the patches that have been released since the 
game launched in early access to iron out bugs, as well as improve security 
and performance. The studio wrote: We'll continue to release patches with bug 
fixes and performance improvements in the coming days, along with major 
feature additions over the coming weeks.
