Gamers eager for dinosaur-themed survival adventures can celebrate the roaring success of "Ark: Survival Ascended," which has sold over 600,000 copies on Steam within just two weeks of its release. The game, an Unreal Engine 5 remake of the popular "Ark: Survival Evolved," has been recognized by its publisher Snail, Inc. for its impressive start, despite experiencing some performance issues that resulted in a 'mixed' Steam user review rating.

While the game has been battling some launch hiccups, with Studio Wildcard actively working on patches to smooth out the reported problems, anticipation remains high for the title's upcoming Xbox and PlayStation releases later in November. Although some fans remain skeptical due to previous delays.

The success of "Ark: Survival Ascended" also extends to online platforms like YouTube, where it hit the top live game spot within 24 hours of its release, and Twitch, where it ranked as one of the top six games streamed on launch day. Snail, Inc. expressed confidence that the game will continue to garner international attention with its much-awaited console launches.

The initial reception and sale figures underscore the title's potential to captivate players globally, as evidenced by the high level of engagement and content creation surrounding its release.
