ARK's New Switch Version is a Game Changer - New Footage and Details

Does this update include crossplay to playststion though?

Anyone on switch want to team up? I have played for 4+ years on PS4 and looking to make the switch, no pun intended lol

Why so blatantly show you know nothing about computing? Not to defend the ark port in any way but to confidently state without hyperbole that the port is worse graphichicaly toa n64 gam,e is simply false for anyone possessing a brain... Do you lack a brain?

For replicating the graphics settings for pc of the switch version what settings would you say it would be for pc to repmicate the look? Would of you can play pretty decent as well on sane settings?

Yeah, groovegames should be proud of the defective edition..😂

That development build is pc ark,cause that still ain't switch

I've always wanted ark on switch but after seeing what it was in 2018 I switched my minded and now since they are updating it.. I want it badly

They also made terrible gta ports for mobile and console

Has anyone else noticed the Zelda nuggets placed in Ark Island?

Still IT IS terrible to Play one Switch damn slow FPS

Before the whole new update. I was annoyed how the game crashes in some instances. The graphics were shaudy and terrible, because the Unreal Engine, used in that game, wasn’t compatible with the switch. I rated that thing 1.0/5.0 before the update. I get how it had such a low rating before because of that

I really hope they do something about ark mobile too

Anyone wanna play with me

Base ARK is on sale rn for $10.

I just learned about this 4 months late., I was SO disappointed when I got ark on the switch as at the time it was my only console. I can't explain how please I am about this and I'm gonna redownload the game ASAP!!!!!

Can you cross play with other people?

Question; You really can't host sessions anymore?

What I wanna know is are there plans to release some of unofficial maps that you can enjoy on consoles, such as Valguero, Ragnarok, Lost Island and the Fjordur? I don’t car eif it takes a while, I just hope we can get those maps on handheld, even if not every single one of them!

Anyone know why my game is still blurry? I downloaded it after the update and have checked and my game is up to date… do I need to play around with settings?

As a server owner and dedicated player for years! I'm absolutely impressed on what wild card has done for their fans! They keep to their word no matter how long it takes! Ark is a phenomenal survival games, with absolutely great mechanics

Grove Street games....
Yeah no never gonna buy it
Cough GTA definitive edition cough

Grove Street Games?
Fah-muh-leeeee

Is it just for the OLED switch because my graphics have not been updated

Shadow/Lightmaps instead of alpha based lighting
Texture severely dropped in resolution
Red Lighting Atrophy
No lighting model
Color was better in original version

I did a test and mouse and keyboard work but the jump button doesn't work otherwise it's almost exactly like PC controls

Trash game may have had a big update but still quite a few issues they have tames pop up outta nowhere right infront of you even. Can grab a tame out of storage in cryo and just dissappear and become an empty cryo and so much more.. don't believe the videos about how great this new update is trash game in general no matter what version and don't waste your money!!

I seen online that it says they are coming soon so praying and figures cross

Please tell me we are getting a new map and the dinos finally I seen where it supposed to be released late November but don't trust it

It's $10 right now

may i ask i have the old version how wil i get the new version for free ?

and this new Port has been made by... groove street games... WTF????

Very impressive, it runs better than my gaming laptop <3

You know, maybe cdpr should re-port cyberpunk for the last gen consoles.

I have 2,6k hours on Ark (pc) and i remember of the jokes we used to make like "do you imagine Ark on Switch" silence "AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA" and when they announced i was like "WHAAAAT?!?!" And then I saw how it used to run and how it looked and i was "i would never buy it" but I have to admit this "remaster" is awesome! I still won't buy it because for me it's a pc game (joycon could never replace mouse and keyboard for this kind of games)

pls give us the old ark back

Ofcourse the other settings are lower but the resolution in docked mode is litherly higher than base ps4 which in the higher graphics mode is only 720p

Night time is broken, pitch black impossible to se anything... even with this new version... graphycal artifacts and water textures behave awkward... still what a massive improvement

But will they upgrade the old one or no?

Gives me slight hopes for GTA: DE Mobile which probably won't happen

You lost me at grove street games

I hope Ark Mobile will get new contect soon too

This is great!

Will players be able to make their own severs with custom settings?

My only Ark survival experience has been on the switch it was one of the first games I ever bought for my switch and I would really like to have an up to Snuff version

i already knew when they said october 25 i was like "BRO THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH BETTERRR"



























now i just feel like i've been pranked 💀

My comment failed to post so, here it goes again. WORLDWIDE RELEASE DATE For switch patch according to a post i just saw on their twitter page is NOV 1ST for atleast north America😄 🎉 thats all i care about.. Other countries will be on the 9th, & Japan the begining of next year.

Ult survivor is releasing later, idk i wasnt paying attention..

Everyone needs to know , and game journalists the original ARK switch wasnt supposed to be released in the form it was , & WC screwed over the original co developers, Abtraction. This was a very early Alpha Build built by Abtraction, WC asked them to make one , but then WC forced it to be released by anouncing it too early once they saw the Early build.
..but anyways im glad its being able to be fully developed this time & i don't want to take away the talent this took & i don't it is..🤔, heck they basically worked on this from scratch! so thats a big deal still

but i wish it wasnt presented in a way as if this was a full intended game and what happens in order to get it on switch, yeah , this is only what happens when a game thats on switch is prevented from being properly worked on right from the start, and maybe oneday, we'll get the whole story about what exactly happened, maybe Wildcard will fess up, cuz they threw Abraction under the bus and just didnt want to pay them so they could fix it, Abrtaction said they wanted to fix it, and also if it was upto them, they would have held the game back. Wish i knew the reasoning behind why exactly WC didnt want to pay them to fix the game, did they not have the funds? all it would mean was more sales..idk..

They also kicked them off the team & also banned them from talking about the game, which is probably why a lot of people's questions on the game went unanswered by them since then.


I want to think WildCard learned from their mistakes now tho, and let these other guys do what they need to do cuz man it looks GREAT .

Looks fantastic! Can't wait 👍

Oh my gods I’m going to download the update as soon as I get off

I play ark on switch and had to deal with all the bad things about the game for awhile now
