No, this isn't an April Fools' Day joke! We've got ourselves a big new addition to Xbox Game Pass today in the form of Ark: Survival Ascended, which roars onto the service for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
If you haven't been keeping up, this is the new version of Ark: Survival Evolved that was "reimagined from the ground-up" for modern consoles and PC back in late 2023. It's been sitting in the "Top Paid" section of the Xbox Store pretty much ever since, making it one of the most popular Xbox games you can play at the moment.
As mentioned, it's joining Game Pass later today, and we'll throw more details about the game down below:
Ark: Survival Ascended (Series X/S, PC, Cloud)
"ARK is reimagined from the ground-up into the next-generation of video game technology with Unreal Engine 5! Form a tribe, tame & breed hundreds of unique dinosaurs and primeval creatures, explore, craft, build, and fight your way to the top of the food-chain. Your new world awaits!"
