A new patch is coming to ARK Survival Evolved on PC. The update is numbered v260 and is expected to be larger. There will be new content, more bug fixes, and optimizations.
Update June 30, 2017: The ARK patch 2.60 was scheduled for Monday, and it was deployed today, Friday. Here are the patch notes for 2.60. The “most striking new feature” is this saber-toothed tiger. Players are already complaining on Reddit that Quetzal now has clipping issues. There also seems to be a bug with the “boss tributes.” This is already being heavily discussed on Reddit. The new accelerated patch rhythm seems to bring some friction for ARK.
