New Update Arrives for Ark Survival Ascended in July 2025

Sure thing! Here’s a reimagined version of the article:

So, Ark: Survival Ascended just dropped another update—this one’s got the number 68.34, in case anyone’s keeping score, and it landed right in the middle of July 2025. It’s like they knew we needed a fix. Or did they? Eh, who knows.

Anyway, if you’re playing Ark: Ragnarok Ascended—one of those free DLC goodies—they’re shaking things up. Performance hiccups? Yeah, they’re working on it. But, let’s be real, it’s still got its quirks. Oh, and did I mention this all started back in October 2023? It was like a quiet party crash, early access and all, but here we are two years in, and the reviews are still a mixed bag. Sounds fun, right? Steam players are toggling between love and hate like it’s a new game feature or something. But hey, the updates are flowing, and that keeps the party going.

June 20, the devs—Studio Wildcard—gave us the Ark: Ragnarok Ascended expansion. Picture a Norse-themed playground stretching 144 square kilometers. Sweet, right? Except it stirred up quite the stir. It’s got biomes, places to wander, but also enough bugs to keep you guessing. Reviews are “Mixed,” or as I like to call it, “telling.”

Fast forward to the v68.34 update—no new razzle-dazzle added, just bug zapping. Low-frame problems in sandstorms? Check. Basilosaurus spawns too, seems they’ve turned it up. Those labyrinth codes—finally, they should cooperate. If not, well, back to the drawing board, I guess.

Some backend fixes came along for the ride—mod maps should flash a save icon now, and yes, you can delete old saves if you like living on the wild side.

Misc fixes? You bet. Thylacoleo was swimming in some weird way, but that’s sorted now. And the whole chucking-items-into-the-landscape thing? That’s history.

Steam’s review section still highlights a shopping list of issues, but take heart! August brings more updates. It’s like waiting for a bus, isn’t it? Just more survival, fewer seats.

Patch notes? Sure, if lists are your thing:

– Ragnarok – Tamed sandstorms, hopefully less sluggish.
– Labyrinth puzzle input’s been charmed to behave.
– Basilosaurus spawns—more of them frolicking about.
– Mod map saves—show the icon, and you’re free to delete.
– Backup saves also got a fix. Whew.
– Thylacoleo swimming sorted.
– No more losing items to the landscape.

There’s more coming, and until then, let’s see how these fixes float our collective survival boat—or sink it, who’s to say?
