It seems that this game could join the best games on Nintendo Switch and now also on Nintendo Switch 2, as we have learned. And the study responsible for ARK: Survival Ascended has confirmed that it is actively working on a version for nintendo switch 2.

This is what is known:

• Jeremy Stieglitz, co-creative director of Wildcard, assures that the port is only viable thanks to the performance improvements of Unreal Engine 5.7.

  Other content in this category:

• Internal testing shows a GPU performance increase of between 33% and 40% with the new version of the engine.

• Although Switch 2 has more addressable memory than Xbox Series S, the biggest challenge is in the graphic power to maintain technologies such as Nanite and Lumen.

• Nanite It allows you to render highly detailed scenarios and complex open worlds efficiently.

• Lumen It handles dynamic global illumination and real-time reflections, key to next-generation visual quality.

• The objective of the study is to offer an experience close to PS5 and Xbox Seriesalthough with lower resolutions (1080p on laptop and 1440p in dock mode).

• Currently the game runs at about 20FPSand the team seeks to achieve 30 stable FPS.

• To achieve this, Wildcard is studying to implement Frame Generationa technique that generates intermediate frames using AI.

• The studio is in contact with NVIDIA to evaluate the use of DLSS Frame Generationor alternatively, adapt AMD FSR 3.1.

• Unlike the original ARK on Switch, this version would be complete and integrated with the rest of the platforms.

• would include cross-play and cross-multiplayer with PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S|X, sharing content and updates.

• If technical advances allow it, the launch is planned for some time in 2026.
