ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition update 2.0.2

A new 2.0.2 update has just gone out for ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition.

The full patch notes for the ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition version 2.0.2 update are as follows:

When Ark: Survival Evolved was announced for Switch, it came as a bit of a surprise. After all, the game doesn’t exactly run well on other platforms. Now that the Switch port is finally here, Digital Foundry is taking a closer look at it from a technical perspective.

Unfortunately, visual quality has been heavily scaled back on Switch. As one example, most foliage is gone in the forest and objects pop in just before the player.

Ark: Survival Evolved finally debuted on Switch this week. Get a look at plenty of footage in the video below.

Studio Wildcard has announced that ARK: Survival Evolved is coming to Switch on November 30. This applies to all regions worldwide.

Abstraction Games head of production John Day was asked how Ark: Survival Evolved is possible on Switch during a recent episode of Fragments of Silicon. Day started out by explaining:
