ARK: Survival Ascended brings Aberration to Unreal Engine 5 with stunning visual improvements including enhanced bioluminescent lighting effects in underground biomes, realistic radiation zones with volumetric fog, improved creature AI and animations, and significantly better performance with dynamic global illumination that makes the glowing mushroom forests and hazardous areas more immersive than ever.
ARK: Survival Ascended Aberration servers require significantly more resources than the original version. Recommended specs include 32GB RAM minimum for 20 players (vs 16GB in original ARK), high-performance CPUs with strong single-thread performance, and NVMe SSD storage. The UE5 engine demands more memory and processing power but delivers superior graphics and stability.
Yes! ARK: Survival Ascended supports CurseForge mods through the integrated mod browser. You can install custom creatures, structures, QoL improvements, and gameplay modifications directly through your control panel. Popular Aberration mods include enhanced climbing mechanics, custom radiation suits, and expanded underground cave systems.
ASA Aberration includes redesigned surface biomes with improved hazard mechanics, enhanced zipline physics with smoother traversal, rebalanced radiation zones with better visual feedback, improved Reaper and Rock Drake spawns, updated charge light mechanics with better creature interactions, and seamless integration with ASA's cross-map progression system for transferring characters between official maps.
ARK: Survival Ascended Aberration supports full cross-platform play between Steam and Epic Games Store on PC. Players from both platforms can join the same servers and play together seamlessly. Console versions (Xbox/PlayStation) maintain separate player pools but support crossplay within their ecosystem when released.
