Throughout the years, Ark Survival Evolved has been one of the most played survival games on the market. Players have been into this particular title ever since it first launched back in 2015. But the era of Ark Survival Evolved is now over. Now, we are about to enter a new era with the launch of Ark Survival Ascended, a large visual upgrade to the original game.

As of this writing, Ark Survival Evolved online servers have shut down. That means that players wanting to play Ark will have to jump ship to Ark Survival Ascended. Thankfully, this title will launch on multiple platforms when it eventually releases. But will Ark Survival Ascended launch on Game Pass? We will go over that question down below.

To put it simply, we do not know if Ark Survival Ascended is coming to Game Pass. Right now, the situation with Ark Survival Ascended is strange. The game was supposed to launch as soon as Ark Survival Evolved servers went down, but it has been delayed. We do not know if there was a problem with development or a different issue.

That being said, we do believe there is a good chance Ark Survival Ascended will be on Game Pass. The fact of the matter is that Ark Survival Evolved was on Game Pass, including every single piece of DLC that came out with the game. On top of that, Ark 2 will launch on Game Pass as well. To us, this indicates that it is very likely Ark Survival Ascended will be on Game Pass.

When Will Ark Survival Ascended Come To Game Pass?

From what we can gather, it should not take too long before Ark Survival Ascended will arrive in Game Pass. The fact is that all Ark Games, including Ark 2, which has not launched yet, have been on Game Pass. Microsoft and Studio Wildcard have been working together for many years, and it is very likely that Ascended will make its way to Game Pass.

The matter of question is, when will this happen? If we had to guess, we believe that Ark Survival Ascended will appear in Game Pass before 2024 begins. Based on the relationship between the two companies, it would make sense for this new game to be on Game Pass as soon as possible, even if it is not at launch.
