ARK update 263 will soon roll out to PC users. The new ARK Survival Evolved update 263 includes fixes and improvements to the game. According to the official patch note, the update has increased the ride distance on flyers to help to get on them when you’ve fallen in the water. In addition, you don’t see many Terror Bird Armies as the new update has increased the spread of Terror Bird spawns in the Redwoods.
The latest patch has removed all the non-statted items from crates that are higher tier than the first crate where that non-statted item is found. Previously, the developer’s released major update 262 and update 262.16 for PC players. Yesterday, Xbox One players also received ARK update 759.
