Update 2.85 has arrived for ARK Survival Evolved, and hereโs the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. The action-adventure survival video game was developed and published by Studio Wildcard in 2017. The game’s concept is players must survive being stranded on one of several maps filled with roaming dinosaurs, fictional fantasy monsters and other prehistoric animals, natural hazards, and potentially hostile human players. Furthermore, it has a regular update schedule and, owing to this, offers a better gaming experience to the players. So, the latest version kicked out a while ago and brings minor changes. As known, the game’s yearly Halloween event ended a few days ago. Consequently, do not expect major changes and features. Hereโs everything new with the ARK Survival Evolved 2.85 update.
