Is Ark: Survival Ascended on PS5?

While Ark: Survival Ascended was originally due to launch on PS5, it’s not currently available on the console.

The game launched for Xbox Series S/X, and PC on November 21, 2023, however unfortunately for PlayStation owners, it was announced that the PS5 version had been delayed via a statement on Twitter. Regarding the PS5 version of Ark: Survival Ascended the statement from the developers reads:

“We’re still working closely with Sony on PlayStation 5 certification for Ark: Survival Ascended while we have been targeting a late November launch, today we’ve encountered some issues which will require some additional time. We now anticipate a PS5 launch in early December. We’re working diligently to bring you the best possible cross-platform experience.”

While this news is bound to be disappointing for PS5 players, hopefully, there shouldn’t be too much longer to wait until the game comes to the platform with the studio aiming for an early December release.
