However, it seems that the developers of the game have postponed it, but assures gamers that the features are under way and they will absolutely love the improvements done to the game via this update.

In its November announcement, "ARK: Survival Evolved" developers wowed the crowd with the arrival of the Tek Tier update which will be rolled out for PC, Xbox One and PS4 this year. According to reports, the scheduled release is January 20th but one of the developers named, Jat, announced on the official Steam page for the game that Patch v254 which consists of the Tek Tier update will be launched at a later date.

In their statement, they said that the delay of the "ARK: Survival Evolved" Tek Tier update will be delayed and will happen on January 30.
