  • The battlefield is a banquet, and Gargantar has come hungry. This colossal dragon grows tougher as it inhales creatures and resources, with room in its enormous belly to shelter allies.

Quick answers

Patch tracker FAQ

How current is this tracker?

ARK2.com checks Studio Wildcard's official server and platform patch-note topics every five minutes. If a source is temporarily unavailable, the last confirmed update remains online.

Why is my client version different from the server?

Server and client builds can use different version numbers, and console certification can stagger releases. Use the card for your platform instead of comparing every number directly.

Where do these patch notes come from?

The versions and patch details come directly from Studio Wildcard's official SurviveTheArk patch-note topics. Every card links back to the exact first-party source.
