This versatile feline can cook raw meat to perfection and keep your jerky fresh as you travel together.
Additionally, The Center expansion map has been released for cross-platform play on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam. This free update features a sprawling new map, double the size of the standard ARK Island, featuring tons of uncharted territories and surprises to discover. The never-before-seen Shastasaurus, found roaming The Center, is a massive but friendly underwater beast which comes with a special saddle equipped with a submarine pouch!

The Center was the first ever community modded map when it arrived on ARK: Survival Evolved. With its upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 in ASA it also introduces a brand-new dinosaur, the Shastasaurus. Chosen by community vote, the Shasta is a huge underwater beast that looks scarier than it truly is, curiously swimming up to humans without attacking! This beast of burden can carry an insane amount of weight, even featuring a special ‘submarine’ saddle allowing riders to breathe and survive the intense deep ocean pressure. Fully equipped with a submarine scope for players to see enemies above the water, the scope is also essential to see oncoming underwater combat torpedoes that deliver heavy explosive damage.
Premium Mods are now available for PlayStation 5 players, joining the already available ones on Xbox Series X|S and PC, marking a groundbreaking milestone as ASA becomes the first game to enable professionally created Premium Mods to be sold to console players. This now enables creators and game studios to deploy, sell, and update their content directly to consoles dynamically. Premium Mods have price points ranging from $2 to $10, with 50% of all revenue going to the creators. Over 1,500 mods are now available for cross-platform play.
The Fantastic Tame ‘Pyromane’, The Center map, and Premium Mods are now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and Steam! The definitive survival experience returns with ARK: Survival Ascended featuring Unreal Engine 5 graphics, pc/console cross-play and official mods for console! Create a Survivor, form a tribe, and then tame, train, breed & ride dinosaurs within a living ecosystem.
