Ark: Survival Evolved patch notes keep us informed on the latest changes and fixes applied to the game, and considering it’s been around for almost five years now (or even longer if you factor in early access) there are still frequent updates being released to keep everything running smoothly. Some of these offer up minor fixes, while others cover major overhauls to deal with a variety of issues, and due to release schedules there are currently different version numbers maintained for Steam and Epic Games, Windows 10 and Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. These largely crossover, with PC often getting fixes slightly earlier, and we’ve got the last three updates on each format covered below.
The most recent Ark: Survival Evolved patch notes simply reference fixing an exploit, with no further information given – this is understandable given the developers don’t want to give away more details than necessary about bugs that can be taken advantage of, and if it was something you were taking an illicit boost from then you’ll know if it’s no longer working. Before that, the last major update was focused on resolving problems with the Lost Island DLC, which launched on December 14, 2021 – hopefully you didn’t fall down any of the ominous sounding ‘holes’ that have now been fixed.
