Studio Wildcard today announced that its dinosaur survival-adventure game
ARK: Survival Evolved is now available as a launch title for Xbox One X from Microsoft. Provided as a free update to Xbox players,

reduced load times and much more. All these new features make ARK: Survival Evolved on Xbox One X the ultimate visually and technically advanced dinosaur survival experience on any console.
"Ever
since the original announcement of the Xbox One X, we've been excited
to see how far Microsoft would push the hardware specs,
and how far that would let us push ARK," said Jeremy Stieglitz, Lead
Designer, Lead Programmer, Development Director, Co-Creative Director,
Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard. "When gamers get their hands on this
powerful new console, and of course, on the new
build of ARK, we expect they'll be just as impressed as we are with how
much more visually immersive the world of ARK becomes."
More
than 10 million players have washed up on the shores of the mysterious
ARK island thus far, vying to survive by hunting, taming, training and
breeding more than
100 dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures found wandering the vast
open-world. Xbox One X owners of ARK will have immediate access to these
Xbox One X enhancements, with progression following players from
platform to platform.
Xbox One X Enhancements:
- The "Eyes" Have It - Enjoy “Detail Mode” with buttery
smooth 30 FPS gameplay at 1440p or 60 FPS at 1080p in “Medium Quality”
- See Farther, and With More Detail:
In 1440p "Detail
Mode”, long-range shadows, high quality textures and extended draw
distances enhance visual fidelity, while the "TrueSky" system renders

and dynamic weather systems.
- Split Screen and Split Up: In local split screen
multiplayer mode, players can now split up to independently explore the islands.

performance, Xbox One X servers can now host 70 players in a game.
- Get There Faster: Improved loading and streaming

Powered by Unreal Engine 4,
ARK: Survival Evolved takes on the survival genre with a
unique blend of emergent multiplayer cooperation and competition.
Players awake stranded and starving on the beach of a mysterious island
among a herd of other confused humans. On ARK, they
must then hunt, harvest, craft, research technology, and build shelters
to protect against scorching days, freezing nights, volatile weather
systems, dangerous wildlife, and potential enemies. Tame, train, ride
and breed one of 100 amazing dinosaurs and other
prehistoric beasts, including gargantuan creatures on a scale never
before seen in video games! Fly a Pteranodon squadron over the
snow-capped mountains, race through the deep jungle with your pack of
trained Raptors, tromp through a fortified enemy base along
a convoy of gigantic Brontosaurus, or chase down prey on the back of a
raging T-Rex.
ARK: Survival Evolved is rated “MA 15+” for Strong themes and violence, online
interactivity.
