Studio Wildcard has released Ark: Survival Ascended version 1.093.037 (v93.37) on September 27, 2026, introducing changes to maritime gameplay and crafting accessibility. The update addresses several issues affecting ship-based traversal and expands the utility of Astraeos content.
For players owning Astraeos content, these survivors can now learn and craft all cannonball types, providing a boost to naval combat options. This update follows previous content milestones, such as the introduction of the Lumina dragon and Dragontopia features in version 91.3.
Maritime Fixes and Ship Improvements
A portion of this update focuses on the functionality and performance of ships. One of the visible bugs, which caused Pirate Ships to spawn above the water level, has been resolved. Additionally, the developers have implemented collision performance improvements specifically for ships to streamline movement across the water.
The patch also includes a quality-of-life fix for shoulder pets. Previously, throwing a shoulder pet off while on a ship could cause the creature to teleport back to the location where it was last picked up. This unintended teleportation has been removed, ensuring pets behave predictably during maritime travel.
Stability and Technical Changes
Beyond gameplay mechanics, the 1.093.037 update addresses several technical issues to improve overall game stability. The changes include:
- Resolution of a specific client crash.
- Patches for two identified exploits.
- Internal synchronization between version 1.093.037 for consoles and v93.37 for PC build tracking.
Players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC can access these changes immediately. More details on ongoing server adjustments can be found on the ARK Official Community Forums.
