Is Ark cross-platform Xbox and PS4?

Answered by Edward Huber

Ark: Survival Evolved does not support cross-platform play between Xbox and PS4. This means that players on Xbox cannot play with or against players on PS4. This limitation is due to the different online network systems used by Microsoft and Sony.

As an avid gamer, I have experienced the frustration of not being able to play with friends who own a different gaming console. It can be disappointing when you want to team up or compete against each other but are unable to do so because of platform restrictions.

Cross-platform play has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many games allowing players on different platforms to connect and play together. However, Ark: Survival Evolved is not one of these games when it comes to Xbox and PS4. The developers have not implemented cross-platform functionality between these two consoles.

It is worth noting that cross-platform play is available between iOS and Android devices. This means that players on these mobile platforms can join the same servers and play together. Additionally, cross-platform play is also supported between PC and Xbox players. This allows players on these platforms to interact and enjoy the game together.

While Ark: Survival Evolved supports cross-platform play between iOS and Android devices, as well as PC and Xbox players, it does not support cross-platform play between Xbox and PS4. This limitation is due to the different online network systems used by Microsoft and Sony. It is always important to check the specific cross-platform capabilities of a game before purchasing or expecting to play with friends on different consoles.
