ARK Survival Evolved on PS4 is being updated right now
Studio Wildcard have completed updating the ARK Survival Evolved PS4 version with all the latest content that can be found on Xbox One and PC.
Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard Jeremy Stieglitz revealed the news on Twitter, explaining: "ARK PS4 patch passed QA, going' live in about… 15 minutes! Get your PGM's ready."
This new update brings the console versions of the massively popular survival game on-par with its PC version through v253, and also adds the Procedurally Generated Maps feature found on PC and Xbox One, to the PS4.
This allows players to generate an infinite variety of new ARKs to experience. The update is free, and available now on Xbox Live and tomorrow on PlayStation Network.
Other ARK Survival Evolved PS4 changes:
- Added Procedurally Generated Maps mode
- Switched to new memory allocator for much more efficient memory usage (resolves any OOM crashes) and better performance
- All PC equivalent content up & functionality through v253.x
- 2 New Full-Scale Underwater Caves (progression-oriented with Artifacts)
- TamingSpeedMultiplier, HarvestAmountMultiplier, and XPMultiplier are now hardcoded with an extra 2x multiplier. If you wish to have your server use the same rates as before, please reduce your server's custom values for those by 50%
New Dinos coming in the ARK Survival Evolved PS4 and Xbox One updates:
Cnidaria Omnimorph: "A combination of everything good and bad about various species of Jellyfish, the Cnidaria is too simple to tame or train, but tribes keep schools of them around for their bioluminescence and their ability to sting.
"Containing them in pools around a camp is a great way to make a barrier of swimming, stinging security that also illuminates the night. They also drop a special biotoxin which can be used to create shocking torpor darts and is 2x as powerful as regular ones."
Troodon Magnanimus: " Outside of human beings, the Troodon might just be the most clever creature on the islands. You don't "tame" a Troodon, you earn its loyalty through its social nature and love of the hunt. While Troodon is considered a smaller relative of the island's Raptors, they are no less dangerous, especially with their love of hunting at night."
Pegomastax Fructarator: "Life ain't easy when you're at the bottom of the food chain on carnivore-filled islands, just ask the Pegomastax. This is a relatively harmless herbivore who prefers to live alone and gorges on just about any plants it can find.
"Far from the definition of "pretty," Pegomastax features a nasty looking beak (with tusks for extra effect!) and feathers, making him a unique sight on the island.
"Some tribes keep a few Pegomastax around, as they are excellent scavengers who collect an extraordinary quantity of seeds and berries, while also handily gathering the rare Flowers, Mushrooms, and other ingredients necessary to cook up unusual concoctions."

The Tek Tier will let you experiment with DNA recombination via the Cloning Chamber, what new combos await?
Tusoteuthis Vampyrus: "A monstrous relative of the vampire squid, Tusoteuthis bears a closer resemblance to giant squids. It may be slow, but the aquatic Tusoteuthis is a horrific threat to anyone who dares get too close, using its tentacles to first grab, then crush…and then syphon the blood out of its hapless victims.
"Tribes will sometimes tame this nightmare of the deep in order to extract its unique ink, which contains oils that can be processed into fuels."
Therizinosaurus Multiensis: "Built like a T-Rex, but completely tameable and a herbivore to boot, the Therizinosaurus is one of the strangest dinosaurs on the islands. Its claws allow it to perform both brute-force or delicate actions; from taking down enemies (though it would prefer to just leave them alone) to plucking leaves from a particularly tasty bush.
"Because of this ability, Therizinosaurus are always handy to have around for harvesting specific resources, or, when needed, decimating enemies in combat."
