"It is very important for us to see how SotF progresses and we want to make sure we're making the right choices," Studio Wildcard continued. Unfortunately, this all means the console (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) versions of Survival of the Fittest are on hold "so we can take a step back and see how these changes pan out in the long term". Major content upgrades to SotF will be pending further expansion of the team, and the development kit will continue be updated with content from ARK: Survival Evolved (which can be directly copied into SotF by modders)." "If we're able to make performance updates due to optimisation work done on the main game, SotF will also receive them.

"If there are issues with the game, we will resolve them," developer Studio Wildcard promised in a post on Steam. But it will be maintained as a playable game mode inside Survival Evolved.

This means that Survival of the Fittest will no longer be a separate free-to-play game. The developer of dinosaur survival hit Ark has folded free-to-play spin-off Survival of the Fittest back into the main game, Survival Evolved.
