Ark: Survival Evolved gave the Nintendo Switch a massive overhaul last year with the release of the “Ultimate Survivor Edition.”
In case you missed it, it improves visual quality and performance, reduces load times and adds a number of quality-of-life features, including inventory management. Fast forward to 2023 and another patch (version 2.0.5) is now released.
