Given the massive requirements for ARK: Survival Ascended, I expected a bigger download. But it is likely the early access state that keeps the file size lower than expected. Theoriginal ARK: Survival Evolved required a total of nearly 300 GBwhen it was all said and done. ARK: Survival Ascended doesn’t include the new maps or DLC from the original game at launch, which accounts for the smaller size.
Will ARK Survival Ascended file size get bigger?
There is no doubt you’ll need more space for ARK: Survival Ascended as the game receives updates. ARK: Survival Evolved received five expansion packs and five new maps, greatly increasing the needed storage for the game. I expect ARK: Survival Ascended will follow suit, so ensure you save some room for the game when it comes time to update.
