Since Ark Survival Evolved is on the Switch, players might assume the game's remake will also be available. While the game was launched for PS5 and Xbox in late November 2023, Switch players didn’t receive it. The chances are not high for players wondering if the game will drop on the Switch. There are no official announcements and the wiki has no information.

When Ark Survival Evolved was launched on Nintendo Switch, the game turned out to be a disaster on the console and got hate from many players. However, the game got a remake in 2022 with various changes that made the game better. While that is about Survival Evolved, the new Survival Ascended has higher system requirements that the Switch might not be able to handle, adding to the speculations that it is not coming out for Switch.

The fact that the game is only available for the PS5 gives us an insight into whether it will be available for Switch. While the game might not be available for players on the Switch, it might be available on the Nintendo Switch 2, which is supposed to come out next year.

Those who can't play Ark Survival Ascended on the Switch have the option to enjoy Survival Evolved. Players can enjoy various expansions and DLCs on their Switch with Survival Evolved. The game has become quite good after its last big update and various bug fixes.

Ark fans who are waiting for Survival Ascended to come out on Nintendo Switch, sadly, the chances of the game coming out for the Switch are slim to none.
