After facing multiple delays and a rescheduled release date set for early December, a thrilling update has emerged: ARK Survival Ascended will hit PS5 consoles a bit earlier than anticipated. For fans eagerly awaiting the Unreal 5 revamp of this iconic prehistoric survival game, the moment they've been waiting for has arrived.

Let's delve into the release date details for ARK Survival Ascended on PlayStation 5 and explore when players can finally immerse themselves in Studio Wildcard's latest iteration of the ARK franchise.

ARK Survival Ascended PS5 Release Date Finally Revealed

In a recent developer blog post, it has been disclosed that ARK: Survival Ascended is set to launch on the PS5 on Thursday, November 30th at 9:00 AM Pacific. Despite the developers initially stating an early December release, it appears that the game will be available on the last day of November if everything goes smoothly.

The developers also emphasized that, similar to other console launches, the new Official Servers won't be online until a few hours after the launch to allow sufficient time for downloads. This approach aims to ensure a fair opportunity for everyone to join and experience ARK: Survival Ascended. Additionally, players won't start from scratch, as the new Official Servers will have bonus rates for a limited time to help players catch up.

While this news is undoubtedly thrilling for many PlayStation owners, there are mixed feelings surrounding the game's arrival. The Xbox launch received a varied reception due to several bugs at release, causing some PS console owners to express concerns about a potential repeat scenario.

Despite this, the developers have assured players that they are diligently addressing these issues across all platforms. They underscored that, regardless of any problems, players will still be able to enjoy the game they were promised. Hopes are high for a swift resolution of these issues, considering that Ascended is not a free upgrade but a standalone title, albeit a revamped version of Evolved.

As we await the reception of ARK: Survival Ascended on PlayStation consoles, the community is curious to see whether a later release might have been more prudent or if the developers have successfully ironed out the game's reported issues, delivering the envisioned ARK Survival Ascended experience. Regardless of the outcome, our coverage of the game will remain up-to-date, supporting fellow survivors on their journey through ARK: Survival Ascended.
