  • Important Update Regarding Extinction On Console

    Hello Survivors,

    Today we have some important news regarding the launch of ARK: Extinction on console (Xbox and PS4). After careful consideration, we have decided to move our release date for the console release of Extinction to no later than November 13th. 

    This change does not affect the Steam release of Extinction, which will still be available for purchase on November 6th, at 10am PST.

    We know this news will come as a disappointment to our console survivors, but we believe that this extra time will result in an improved experience for everyone who plays Extinction on console. 

    Thank you for all your patience and support - we know that Extinction will be worth the wait!

    Ark for crying out loud please start living up to your release dates. Cant you just release it how it is and patch the dlc on 13th? People even canceled plans and poop to play this dlc

    I'm ok with this. I'd rather wait a few days to play a broken, buggy mess rather than getting a broken, buggy, unplayable mess now.

    I have to say I’m a little upset about this. I’m a Console player and so are many of my friends.  We were really excited and were planning on hoping onto extinction at the same time and play on the same server today so that we could all experience this new server together.  It’s still going to happen but we won’t be able to do it until we find a day that we are all free on.... But that’s life for ya.

    This comes as no surprise... They never hit their scheduled release date... Also wouldnt be surprised if they stop talking about extinction for console all together and in vanishes into thin air like S+ did, oh wait extinction makes them money nevermind. Also glad to see some new sponsored mods that console will never get to enjoy. Thank god for Red Dead Redemption 2 and other games coming out prolly never play ark again

    I’m an Xbox player and I hate ps4 but I think that Xbox and even ps4 should get equal rights to play a dlc on release date not just pc

    Guy's calm down. There's gliches in the system and they are trying to fix it. We as console platers know the struggle of how vroken ark is to an extent. But blaming them for it is not going to solve anything. You all obviously are mad at something else and are taking ut oyt on tge greatest game creators. So direct your anger at someone else. If it's that big of an issue then play another game and come vack to ARK.

    They have already announced a while ago that mods will not be coming to console because the console cannot support them

    Are you raptoring kidding me!?!? Some ove us have even used our vacation time at work in preparation for extinction release.  This is such raptoring crap. Jen why are console players constantly being blown off and screwed by you guys. THIS IS BULLpoop!!!!

    I cant count how many time iv have heard "i called in for this" or "i used vacation time for this" and iv heard Jat say more then once "dont take time off of school or work"

    You gotta be a real fool if you took time off expecting it to be released on time.

    Usually Tuesdays and fridays. Was hoping maybe it's available to download Sunday and play Tuesday at least. Looking at the PC release we probably won't get to play until Wednesday or Thursday.

    Yeah I'm thinking this may have been planned on purpose in order to pick up new sales on PC from people like me who own the game on console but own PCs. If you look on steam the base game, season pass, and bundle are all on around half off sale with the sale ending on the 13th....the expected day of release on console. And extinction isn't on sale but the season passes are, so those whom already own the game on pc pay full price but those buying it for the first time have an incentive to do so. Before I just thought it was just a possibility that the pushing of the game back was a purposely calculated tactic for sales but that sale makes it look really bad.

    @Avanti *I took vacation days to play this game - seriously you took vacation days over a game? could you not use that time for something more special? maybe with family? its a pitty of a reason but an extremely funny one.*  Maybe some of us work and can't take time off of work until later in the year. I would've loved to have gone during the summer, but unfortunately I never get too plus my vacation time has to be used up before thanksgiving and not the day before or the day after a holiday either. So if i choose to take time off for a video game that's my choice. It's my time that i worked for and can use it as i please.

    You uncommitted, procrastinating devs are very very lucky the core mechanics have so many people hooked or you would not be able to keep 3 fourths of your playerbase

    Why do console player have to pay the exact same amount and get treated like dirt? Still no conquest servers and a late release of extinction, great. And I will go further to ask if there will be any form compensation for the incompetence. 

    Most likely a little longer putting off to implement minor bug fixes that won't affect 99 percent of players and people would rather have those after it was released

    Its just pure pain watching all the PC users play the new expansion. I see thumbnails and titles of videos saying "artifact of the ...", "hidden titans", "map tour", "taming a ...". Wild Card you ow us console users more than just something! Mods, Servers, Gameplay, Support, Promises, .... The list is as long as the one called "sold copies". Reply to EVERYONE you silent rollrat necks! Edit: Was this freaking planned to force people to buy the pc version?!
