Ark Survival Ascended is here, but it’s been a rocky start for the Unreal Engine 5 remaster of the dinosaur survival game. Between performance issues for many players even on higher-end PCs, server locks, and reports of crashing, Ark Survival Ascended Steam reviews are currently sitting at a dead even 50% across more than 13,500 reviews, lumping the prehistoric multiplayer game with a ‘mixed’ rating. Meanwhile, it seems the original Ark Survival Evolved is doing a good job of holding close to the new game’s player count.
