We appreciate your patience while we worked to launch ARK: Survival Ascended on PlayStation. In our last announcement, we were expecting a launch date in Early December, but we are thrilled to announce that the launch date has been set for this Thursday, November 30th at 9:00 AM Pacific

Similar to other console launches, the new set of Official Servers will not go online until a few hours after the launch to allow ample time for downloading. This will ensure everyone has a fair chance to join the game and experience ARK: Survival Ascended. The new Official Servers will also go online with bonus rates (for a period of time) to allow for everyone to catch up.

Thank you everyone for your cherished support, and we'll see you on the ARK shortly PlayStation Survivors!

We’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily disable Windows clients from joining our crossplay Official PvP servers while we collaborate with Microsoft and BattlEye to implement robust anticheat measures for the Windows version of the game. We apologize to our Windows players but we feel this is the best course of action for the health of the game. This temporary measure affects the following server types:

  • XX-PVP-TheIsland ###
  • XX-PVP-SmallTribes-TheIsland ###
  • XX-PVP-Modded-TheIsland ###
  • XX-PVP-Arkpocalypse-TheIsland ###

Rest assured, your single-player experience and private servers that haven't disabled Windows clients from joining remain unaffected. We're committed to resolving this issue swiftly and bringing Windows clients back onto crossplay PvP servers early next week.

In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work towards ensuring a fair and secure gaming experience for all Survivors.

Thank you for your continued support!

They better have fixed the cheating before launch!!!

Quote from Discord a few minutes ago:
The join failure issue we previously fixed on PC/Xbox is going to be present on PlayStation until our next patch goes through certification. We hadn't identified the issue at the time of submission so it won't be available at the time of launch. We will keep you updated!

Good luck, hope Sony did not read that lol

If this will be only One issue for ps, many players will be happy. If price will be same as for pc start, it will be OK. If servers will not crash every minute, many will be happy too. So many happy players in that case... 

Meantime, good luck ps players!

That's great, now prevent the hoards of PC/Xbox players from having a 3rd, 4th, and 5th chance of land grabbing. 
Not happy with the fact that there are zero PlayStation only servers, its bad enough competing for server slots with our own platforms player base. I have watched streams of both pc and Xbox players during the launch of these new servers, it was a total sht show. Most of them are now playing multiple servers as a result, waiting for server transfers
There should of been a lock on pc players at launch to allow Xbox players to have a fair chance as they normally would. Now we are going to have a handful of servers released with 3 communities of players competing for the limited 70 log in slots.
Considering that the new servers are going to be launched whilst PlayStation players will have the log in failure issue, wildcard is once again ignoring the facts of the situation and giving the other communities a seriously unfair advantage. 

LOCK THE NEW SERVERS to PlayStation access only, until a few days after the patch lands so PlayStation users have a chance. 
Any PS5 user unable to log in during the new server launch period will not have a chance at any decent base location if these servers are not exclusive to PlayStation for a period of time AT LEAST. 

Glad to hear about the release date but its not enough, and the ark player base deserve better treatment overall. You're already forcing us to deal with this crossplay crap and all the problems it brings, do better and start listening to common sense advice.

Are you sure that Sony is aware of this? Still no date or price on it in the PlayStation store.

I'll be patiently waiting until the first user experiences show me the worst issues are solved. Sofar all I see from Xbox is not realy encouraging.

I own both PC and XBOX versions. So far my best experience is on console. Also It literally didn't show up to buy untill the day of. So my guess is this time tomorrow.

The placeholder is already in the store for months but the date and price are still undecided. Normaly that info is updated even if there is no pre-order.
This gives me a strong feeling the promissed "early acces" discount is "forgotten" just as happened for Xbox.
