Ark: Survival Ascended Release Date Delayed for Xbox Series X and S

Gamers anticipating the launch of Ark: Survival Ascended on Xbox Series X and S will have to wait a bit longer as Studio Wildcard announced a last-minute delay. Previously scheduled to release today, the game's launch has been pushed back due to ongoing certification processes. Studio Wildcard expects the release to occur later in the week, although there's a possibility of further delays. The PlayStation 5 version is set to launch later this month.

The delay is not uncommon for Studio Wildcard, which has a history of pushing back release dates, causing some skepticism among the player community. The Unreal Engine 5 remake of Ark: Survival Evolved has already launched on Steam, with mixed reviews due to performance issues, despite ranking high on Steam's best-selling games list at release. Studio Wildcard acknowledges these initial problems and is actively working on improvements with patches.

This latest update has left Xbox gamers in a holding pattern, echoing a familiar scenario of anticipation and patience as they await the definitive launch date for Ark: Survival Ascended on their console of choice.
