ARK: Survival Ascended

What people are saying
Updated nightlyARK: Survival Ascended is a polarizing remaster that's as likely to frustrate as it is to engage. Its core survival and dinosaur-taming gameplay from the original is still a massive draw for fans, but this Unreal Engine 5 version is crippled by severe performance issues and a questionable value proposition. Many feel it's a buggy, poorly optimized cash grab from Studio Wildcard, especially on PC, though the promise of mods and the classic ARK loop provide some redemption for the patient.
