XBox One Update Brings Split-Screen Multiplayer & More

Studio Wildcard has announced that the XBox One version of ARK: Survival Evolved has been updated to bring split-screen multiplayer into the game along side three new dinosaurs, beer crafting and more.

New dinosaurs and creature featured in this update:

• Gallimimus (with Three-Seater Passenger Saddle): While the Gallimimus in real life might have been a large, chicken-like omnivore belonging to the clade Ornithomimosauria (similar to today’s ostrich family and closely related to raptors and modern birds), in ARK: Survival Evolved it’s an herbivore with no natural means to defend itself except for running away. Luckily for the Gallimimus, it may very well be the fastest dinosaur on ARK, and is capable of ferrying up to three Survivors in a specially-designed Saddle!
• Dimetrodon: Known as everyone’s favorite adaptable carnivore, the Dimetrodon offers players shade during excessive heat and shelter from extreme cold by way of its massive insulating sail running down its back. It is reasonably friendly to Survivors and its favorite place to roam is the swamplands plentiful with small prey.
• Dung Beetle: The Dung Beetle is a wondrous organic biofactory that eats excrement and other useless waste and then metabolizes it to produce burnable oil that can power generators and fertilize crops. It is the perfect pet for cleaning up around the tribe’s dirty living quarters!

XBox One players can also look forward to new armor, a new weapon, new structures and deep-sea loot crates as well as the addition of non-dedicated servers with players able to host up to 8 other survivors.
