ARK: Survival Ascended (PS5)

Overview

Step into a prehistoric world like never before. ARK: Survival Ascended is a complete ground-up reimagining of the iconic dinosaur survival game, rebuilt entirely in Unreal Engine 5 exclusively for next-generation hardware. On PlayStation 5, this means jaw-dropping fidelity, advanced physics, and a living, breathing ecosystem that reacts to your every move. Wake up on a mysterious island, survive against the odds, tame hundreds of species of prehistoric creatures, and fight your way to the top of the food chain.

This is not a remaster — it is a full recreation. Every world, every asset, and every system has been redesigned to take advantage of the most powerful rendering and physics technology available in modern gaming.

Key Features

• Unreal Engine 5 Graphics: Fully dynamic Global Illumination (Lumen) ensures light bounces realistically off every surface, delivering true-to-life reflections and atmospheric lighting throughout the island.
• Nanite Micro-Detail: Advanced mesh streaming renders hundreds of millions of triangles, producing extreme levels of detail on creatures, structures, and environments.
• Dynamic Water Physics: Every creature displaces water realistically — generating waves, ripples, splashes, and bubbles as they move through rivers, lakes, and oceans.
• Interactive Foliage System: Every blade of grass, bush, and tree physically reacts to characters, explosions, projectiles, and physics objects. Spot a hidden enemy by the sway of the grass they disturb.
• Realistic Destruction: Knock down a tree and watch it crash through surrounding foliage; demolish a structure and see debris interact with grass and water as it falls.
• All ARK Worlds Included: Access to The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, The Center, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1, ARK Genesis Part 2, and more — with subsequent expansion worlds added at no additional cost.
• Deep Survival Gameplay: Design your Survivor, form a tribe, tame and breed hundreds of dinosaur and primeval species, craft, build, and manage food, water, temperature, and weather.
• PS5 Pro Enhanced & DualSense Support: Optimized for PS5 Pro hardware and takes full advantage of the DualSense wireless controller's vibration and adaptive trigger effects for immersive, tactile gameplay.
• Massive Multiplayer: Play online with up to 70 players simultaneously (PS Plus required) or enjoy the experience offline — online play is entirely optional.
