As such, Studio Wildcard announced that they have temporarily disabled cross-platform play on Windows 10 across four of Survival Ascended’s PVP server types, including standard PVP and its Small Tribes, ARKpocalypse and Modded variants.
“We apologise to our Windows players but we feel this is the best course of action for the health of the game,” the studio wrote.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the messy rollout and launch, Survival Ascended is taking a bit of a beating among players, with a‘Mixed’ reception on Steamat the time of writing. It seems unlikely that these latest server issues will help that.
Edit:Studio Wildcard has confirmed that the Survival Ascended PVP servers are only turned off for PC users on Windows 10. The story has been updated to make this clear.
