Ark Survival Ascended: New Update Scheduled for July 2025

Sure thing! Here it goes:

—

So, check this out, Ark: Survival Ascended got this new update. Yeah, I know, updates are like daily coffee now, but hang in there. Version 68.34, if you’re into the numbers game, just dropped for PC and those fancy consoles. Mid-July 2025, folks. Anyway, it’s all about fixing up those pesky bugs in Ark: Ragnarok Ascended — that freebie DLC everyone’s been raving or ranting about (let’s not split hairs here, reviews are kinda all over the place).

So, back in October 2023, early access time, Ark: Survival Ascended made its entrance. Almost two years in, and folks got mixed feelings — like that vinegary tang you get with, let’s say, ketchup on a hot dog? Some people love it, others not so much. Performance issues on PC, and those “pay to win” DLCs getting side eye — yeah, it’s a whole conversation. But, updates keep flowing like a river during spring thaw, and players keep coming back for more digital mayhem.

Oh! Almost forgot — Ragnarok Ascended, the freebie map from June 2025, views like a sweeping Norse saga, 144 square kilos of complete questing madness. New biomes, locales, the stuff adventurers love. Yet bugs? Oh yeah, those irritating gnats remain — which explains the “Mixed” badge on Steam, if you ask me.

Let’s dive back into it. Version 68.34 dropped with a medley of bug fixes on July 18 (a Friday, which has nothing to do with anything but hey, it’s a fact). No shiny new toys in this update though. Instead, it’s about ironing out frame rate nosedives, plus tweaking the sandstorm epicness that pauses frame rates faster than your internet on a stormy night. And Basilosaurus spawns — think those dudes multiplied overnight! The labyrinth puzzle thingamajig lets players input codes without suddenly yanking out their hair. Forward progress, my friends, forward.

Oh yeah, some fixes hit the base game and those wild mod maps too. Save icons, poof, appear where they should. You can actually delete saves, which sounds boring on paper but is essential when your game decides to take up all your digital cupboard space. Backup saves fixed too — hoorah for redundancy!

Now for the random tidbits — Thylacoleo’s got its swimming animation groove back. And gravity works! Yes, items won’t just vanish into the terrain abyss when tossed anymore. But glance at Steam reviews and you’ll get a sense of the remaining little gremlins, probably smirking from the digital shadows.

Before I forget — another content explosion’s incoming in August. I mean, keep your eyes peeled or whatever gamers do. Alright, I lost my train of thought. Gonna go down some rabbit hole now. Till next time.
