I wanted to necro this thread. The Switch version of Ark Survival Evolved received a MAJOR update a few months ago. They had a different studio redo the whole port from the ground up. It's phenomenal. I installed the full PC game on my Steam Deck to compare, and to be honest I think the Switch version has a lot of benefits. From controls to game size to graphics even.
The base game on Switch is like 6.6 GB compared to 127 on PC. With all DLC it's still under 15GB, while over 300 GB on PC. Both switch ver and Steam Deck ver run at 30 fps, but switch version has more battery life and graphics are a bit less jaggy especially things in the distance (though general shadows and lighting are less detailed).
Switch also has better battery life in this game. It's all very impressive. So with that said, I think it is completely *reasonable* to ask for a 60 FPS patch now, especially for emulators. I would LOVE to see if people can get this game running at 60 FPS on Steam Deck emulated in Yuzu or Ryujinx -- it could make for one of the most interesting comparisons we have ever seen.
