As with other Xbox Game Preview games, this is an unfinished version of the game - but Studio Wildcard founder, Jesse Rapczak confirmed to IGN that Xbox One version is up to date with the PC edition (which has tripled its content since its release). The Xbox version will be updated frequently (although not always as quickly as on PC), and will be upgraded for free to Buy ARK Items  the full version once that's released - at $34.99, Rapczak also mentioned that it's cheaper to buy now than it will be upon full release. No UK price has yet been announced.

Xbox One owners eager to tame dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved after its console debut was announced as “imminent” just received a launch date for the open-world survival game. Developer Studio Wildcard announced a release date Wednesday, along with some Xbox exclusive in-game items including a bionic T-Rex skin.

ARK: Survival Evolved will launch on the Xbox One via the Game Preview program on December 16, as Studio Wildcard revealed through IGN. The starting price point has been set at $34.99, $5 more than on Steam, while it is available as an “Early Access” style game. The price will then jump to a higher price when the full release of the game hits in June 2016.
