Ark Survival with extensive patch

The dino survival game Ark Survival has received the new patch v258.0, which introduces several new features, including 5 new creatures and an interactive toilet!

v258 Trailer:

The creatures are:
  • Hyaenodon dirus, a type of giant hyena
  • Megatherium formipavor, a giant sloth
  • Megalania muruspede, a giant monitor lizard
  • Hesperornis avenatantes, a diving bird
  • Yutyrannus saevus, a feathered Tyrannosaurus type

Additionally, functioning toilets and motorboats, and a series of other improvements are introduced.

The official article about the new patch can be found here, and you can find the patch notes for the game here.

In line with the patch, Ark Survival: Evolved and the DLC Scorched Earth are currently reduced by 68% on Steam, and even 73% when bought together in a bundle.

If you don't have the game yet, you can take advantage of this offer and also directly rent a server for Ark Survival from us. The latest version is, of course, installed on our servers.
