Prehistorically good fun on Xbox Game Pass
There is a time in every child’s life when they become obsessed with dinosaurs. Most people grow out of that phase, but some of us never grow up. If you know your Dimorphodons from your Diplodocus, then we have the perfect game for you.
Xbox Game Pass just added the definitive dinosaur game, Ark: Survival Ascended. That name may sound familiar to you because it is actually an improved version of Ark: Survival Evolved.
We recommend you: Palworld becomes the biggest Xbox Game Pass launch
In the game, you are a lone survivor (until you find some friends to play in multiplayer) who arrives on a mysterious island, full of dinosaurs and other ancient creatures! The goal is not just to survive, but to thrive as you build a base, develop new technologies, and even tame creatures for yourself – and yes, you can give them names, as cute as you like!
And you’re sure to want to name your dinosaurs too, because with this new game, everything has been given a completely new design. This is something that those with one of the best gaming laptops will really appreciate, as the Unreal 5 engine allows them to adjust the settings to the maximum.
The world of ARK is huge, and this edition comes with the iconic Island map, as well as the Scorched Earth expansion (with the other expansions coming later this year). Survival Ascended is more than just a makeover though, there are new structures, a new camera mode, a new tracking system and most important of all, new creatures!

We can’t tell you the amount of time we’ve wasted with this game, the online servers feature up to 70 players in a shared world with tribal wars, base building and an epic fight for survival. We have also equally enjoyed playing at a more relaxed pace. In single-player mode, you’re the only human on the map, and the game becomes less of a PVP dream/nightmare and more like a Minecraft or Stardew Valley as you build your perfect home.
Honestly, we love this game, and if you have any interest in dinosaurs, you will love it too. If you already have a Game Pass subscription, you have nothing to lose. It’s the only game that lets you fire a rocket launcher from the back of a Velociraptor and if that doesn’t excite you, nothing will.
