Ark Survival Evolved patch is live: splitscreen, new creatures and craft beer

SWAT-style assault armour, eletric pods and deep sea loot crates also added.

The latest patch for Ark: Survival Evolved on Xbox One went live over the weekend.

This is the one that adds splitscreen play to the game, as well as three new creatures: the dung beetle, dimetrodon and gallimimus.

It also adds craft beer kegs, new assault armour and electric pods. Here's a bunch of updates according to developer WildCard Studio:

SWAT-style Assault Armor for all your raiding needs!
Greenhouse structure pieces to aid survivors in growing crops
The shockingly powerful Electric Prod easily capable of knocking you out.
Deep-Sea Loot Crates: swim into the deep and discover the highly valuable loot that exists below
Craftable Beer Kegs for making tasty brews, with various status enhancing effects, however the subsequent ‘hangover' effects are not so pleasant!
Loads of bug fixes, serious performance update (~15%), fixed memory leak
Non-dedicated servers now support up to Eight survivors and 33% larger tether distance
