Given that Studio Wildcard already planned to releasethe Xbox and Windows versions ofARK: Survival Ascendedon November 14, unexpected circumstances seem to have come up. Most games are delayed prior to their launch week, let alone one day prior to release, making this announcement even less expected. As the launch version ofARK: Survival Ascendedwas expected to have a similar build to the Steam one, it’s unlikely that the extra days will contribute to a stronger experience. BecauseARK: Survival Evolvedis still on Xbox and Windows, potentialARK: Survival Ascendedfans may choose to play the earlier game.
AsARK: Survival AscendedSteam fans continue to report different issues in the game, console gamers simply wait to try it.
