Not really, It's the same game so they wouldn't be able to seperate the servers. I'm really p*ssed off that it's taking this long. I work away a lot and with nothing to do in an evening I've been taking my Xbox with me. But the hotel WiFi doesn't support Xbox, so i get kicked off after half an hour which, when playing online, is a pain in the arse. The one feature I'm desperate for keeps getting pushed back.

Yeah, i agree. Had they not wiped & not created new servers then this would have been very harsh on beginners/new players who wouldn't stand a chance or lose interest very quickly. Whereas if they wiped then majority of the existing player base would have given it the "that sucks, I've spent months building up and you just come along and wipe everything! thanks for nothing. RIP Ark" So at least it pleases the majority.

Thanks for the info Jat. Really hope this is something that can be achieved! I'm itching to host my own server on my PC

So when this is released on the 8th, Is it going to be available on Xbox Play Anywhere from day one? Also, the PC hosted Dedicated servers for Xbox, can i host a server on my windows 10 PC and be able to join/have players from Xbox? Apologies if this has been detailed elsewhere and in my ignorance, missed it.
