Ark Survival Evolved is finally out on consoles, and Digital Foundry have analysed the release build:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk8GnaaRkT4

Basically the game has two modes on PS4 and Pro; detail (higher res, lower framerate) and normal. (Lower res, higher framerate)

At normal, PS4 runs at 640p and Pro at 720p. In detail mode, PS4 is 720p and Pro is 1080p. Xbone One doesn't offer this option and is locked to 720p.

You forgot to mention it runs like crap on the normal Xbox One S (at 720p, no V-sync, un-capped running with lots of stuttering).

Apparently it has the worst performance of the 3  (low fps), and stutters alot.

 

Digital foundry: "going back to this version (xbox one) after haveing played the PS4 & PS4pro, I definately felt... that its still not where it should be, and I found that going to play on xbox was alot more jarring experiance. There's just... you never get those moments of consistancy, that you get on the PS4, which kinda takes you out of the gameplay alot more often."

"It does seem almost like a scaleing of the best version you can buy, to the worst version"

Basically PS4pro > PS4 > Xbox One S.

 

Anyways Ark devs suck at optimising their game, and its still so damn buggy!

I actually avoided commenting on performance at all cos I kept getting lost trying to keep track of how it fared in every mode of every version, so I decided to let the video speak for itself.
