Ark: Survival Ascended Xbox Series X/S release has been delayed again.
Studio Wildcard's souped-up version of its dinosaur survival game was meant to launch on Microsoft's consoles earlier this week, having previously been expected in August. However, it was delayed at the final hour to an unspecified date, with the studio simply saying it would be released at some point «this week». At this time, Studio Wildcard said it would update us with a release date before then.
It has now issued an update but rather than saying «hazaar, it is finally here», the studio has instead announced another delay. Again, the studio has not put an exact date on when Xbox Series X/S players can expect to see Ark: Survival Ascended arrive on consoles. It has simply said it is now «targeting» a release sometime early next week.
«Unfortunately, the certification process has yielded some unexpected issues,» Studio Wildcard shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter). «We are working with Microsoft to resubmit the build as soon as possible.»
The studio went on to share a small update on Ark: Survival Ascended's PlayStation 5 release, which it said was still «on track» for launch towards the end of November. «We'll update you as we make more meaningful progress and have a precise launch window to share,» it wrote.
«We are sorry to keep our console survivors waiting,» the studio closed.
If you are desperate to get your hands on Ark: Survival Ascended, you can play it on PC. This version of the game was released back in October, although it faced a few performance issues.

Studio Wildcard, the developer behind ARK: Survival Ascended, has temporarily disabled PC players from participating in PvP crossplay due to widespread outcry from the community over cheating PC players.

However, even if you download it quickly, the new official servers won’t be live until several hours later to afford everyone time and an even playing field when starting.
Studio Wildcard’s Ark: Survival Ascended has faced another delay on the Xbox Series X/S. Originally meant to launch on November 14th, it was delayed due to the ongoing certification process. Though set to launch later in the week, it’s now targeting early this week.
