Sure thing, let’s dive into this chaos of updates. So, here it goes — you know, this new Ark: Survival Ascended patch, version 67.49, drops like the end of June (2025 if you’re counting — which, why would you?). Mostly just fixes bugs but sneaks in a little exploit fix. Not that the official notes spill what exactly. Guess they’re keeping it mysterious or… I don’t know, maybe they got distracted.
Wow, can’t believe it’s almost been two years since Ark: Survival Ascended popped up in early access on PC. October 26 marks that date. It was all quiet until it hit Xbox Series X/S and PS5 a month later. Regular updates became a thing — you know, those usual hotfixes and content drops. This recent one? More like a casual tweak, nothing too fancy.
Oh, by the way, the update went live on June 27. So, yeah, just in case you missed it. They say it targets bugs messing with milestone progression, visual quirks, and creature antics. There’s this thing about Ark’s boss fights and crafting stuff, like gunpowder and silica pearls that suddenly started behaving with this patch. Fun times, right?
Think the last big shake-up was in version 67.00 when they dropped a new Ragnarok map on June 19. Which, honestly, feels like yesterday. Now, big beaver dams — seriously, those massive lodge-like things — finally count for looting goals. And hey, if you’re into Astral creatures, Astraeos’ variants are finally doing what they should’ve been doing all along.
Oh, animations for swimming dinos got a little love, too. Those bugs where shoulder pets went invisible? Gone. Hatchlings sticking around acting weird? Fixed. Even the whole paint preview thing and issues with the Dino Export? All taken care of, hopefully.
And wait — I almost forgot — something on the horizon for August 2025: a new drop with the Valguero Ascended map, free for all! Plus, apparently, some Fantastic Tame and a community-voted creature. So just hang tight with these minor patches; more cool stuff’s coming.
Anyway, patch notes — eh, they go on about milestones and more, but if I keep going, this will start sounding rehearsed. Let me know if you need the nitty-gritty, or just cruise on to catch those map updates in August. Alright, enough of the patch talk. Go explore or something.
