New Update Released for Ark Ascended in June 2025

Hey there! So, here’s the deal—or wait, should I rewind a bit? Anyway, there’s this new update for Ark: Survival Ascended that dropped late June 2025. It’s version 67.49, if that means anything to you. Mostly bug fixes, though there’s this pesky exploit they decided to tackle. I’ll get back to that in a sec.

It’s wild to think the game has been around for almost two years since it sneaked onto PCs. I remember when it hit Xbox and PS5 a bit later… time flies, huh? Constant updates since then, like a non-stop parade of tweaks and tunes. This new one? Mostly a patch parade.

So this Friday, like clockwork—June 27 to be exact—the update rolls out! A bunch of bug fixes too. Milestone progression, visual hiccups, creatures doing weird stuff—the game’s like a never-ending reality show at times. And the devs? Probably having a field day sorting it all out.

Oh, and in case you missed the madness from before, they added a new Ragnarok map version. Huge update—like, 67.00 was the number, and it stirred the pot quite a bit. Messed up some milestones such as looting beaver dams on Ragnarok. Because beavers have milestones too, you know? Astraeos’ Astral variants got their share of love with this patch—finally counting towards Alpha creature milestones. Hmm, makes you wonder if the beavers have it easy now.

Then there’s the bit about shoulder pets. They go all invisible sometimes, like they’re shy or something. Fixed now, or so they say. And newly hatched dinos acting like they’re stuck in a time warp? Yeah, they ironed that out too. Paint preview system got some love—imagine painting in the game and not seeing it. Bizarre, right? Anyway, they tidied up the Dino Export stuff too. Not that I know much about exporting dinos myself.

Oh, speaking of tangents, there’s this August 2025 content drop they promised. Free updates, new map, Valguero Ascended—fancy name—plus some community-voted creature. Must be nice, having your picks come to life in a game. Small patches till then, but hey, every little fix helps, right?

The patch notes, if I remember—let’s see, fixing milestones not working, proper recognition for those hardworking beavers, shoulder pets getting their visibility back, animated swimmers getting their groove on, and, ah yes, hotbar shenanigans are sorted.

All wrapped up with a little cherry of an exploit fix, which they didn’t spill details on. Maybe it’s a mystery they’re leaving unsolved for now? So, yeah. There it is. Another day, another patch, and a bustling world of Ark updates. It’s like life, messy but intriguing.
