The PS5 doesn’t have good mod support, especially when compared to the PC. However, that doesn’t mean that some games don’t still let you use mods. Arc: Survival Ascended is one of those games, as it lets you use mods on the PS5. From quality-of-life ones to those that add much more content to the already massive game, here are the best Arc: Survival Ascended mods to use on the PS5.
Super Spyglass Plus
Arc: Survival Ascended has all sorts of dinosaurs, but checking their stats on the PS5 can be a bit of a chore. This is primarily because the menus are extremely slow on consoles. Fortunately, the Super Spyglass Plus mod fixes this problem.
This mod lets you see dino stats, torpor, and taming info instantly. You don’t have to pause the game and look for a specific dinosaur’s taming info. It also lets you easily tame first-time dinosaurs, making this one of the most recommended Arc: Survival Ascended mods.
Automated Ark
While Arc: Survival Ascended is extremely grindy, as expected from a survival game. Using the Automated Ark mod, you can automate crafting, resource pulling, and base management to keep things much easier.
This doesn’t mean that the game becomes a cakewalk. The vanilla-friendly feel is still there, so the game doesn’t feel too foreign for those wanting to retain the original feeling. The grind is cut down massively, and the game just feels more streamlined.
Arkitects Paradise
Arc: Survival Ascended involves a lot of building, and much of it takes a long time to create. However, it’s true that building proper layouts is tough, and the game doesn’t have too many advanced buildings. The Arkitects Paradise revamps the entire building system, making things much easier.
Not only is it much simpler to create detailed base layouts that should have been part of the base game, but there are more advanced building pieces and structures to lean on. It’s a complete visual overhaul of a game that prides itself on its layout features.
Additions Ascended
The game is already pretty stacked with content, making it so that players can spend multiple hours enjoying it. But those who have already experienced everything it has to offer will want to give the Additions Ascended mod a shot.
This mod adds new creatures and gameplay content to the game, expanding it without breaking balance. It basically feels like a new DLC for the game. You can show the mod to someone who hasn’t played Arc: Survival Ascended, and they’ll probably assume it’s part of the base game.
Utilities Plus
The Utilities Plus mod is excellent for those Arc: Survival Ascended players who want quality of life in their game. Despite being for the PS5, this Arc: Survival Ascended mod adds multiple small improvements to the game to make things much simpler.
Actions such as crafting, farming, and general gameplay are streamlined. It doesn’t take much for you to create your ideal base, and the mod doesn’t change too much from the base game to ensure it has its own identity.
