ARK: Survival Evolved has finally made its dinosaur taming ways to the Xbox One, giving console fans a taste of the prehistoric-mashup world for the first time. As you might expect with any such big update though, there's a lot more in-store, including spltscreen cooperative play, new ways to grow food and a bunch of additional craftables to explore and play around with:
- SWAT-style Assault Armor for all your raiding needs!
- Greenhouse structure pieces to aid survivors in growing crops
- The shockingly powerful Electric Prod easily capable of knocking you out.
- Deep-Sea Loot Crates: swim into the deep and discover the highly valuable loot that exists below
- Craftable Beer Kegs for making tasty brews, with various status enhancing effects,
- however the subsequent ‘hangover’ effects are not so pleasant!
- Loads of bug fixes, serious performance update (~15%), fixed memory leak
- Non-dedicated servers now support up to Eight survivors and 33% larger tether distance
As you might expect too, the developers are adding a number of new dinosaurs to the mix to shake things up further. There's now a giant dung beetle to look out for, dimetrodon to compete with and the stupendously fast gallimimus should you need to get somewhere in a hurry.
