Ark updated on my console but won't update through the Xbox app on my PC

I have tried the following

Checking for updates through the Microsoft Store instead of the Xbox app

Deleting the Xbox app and redownloading it

Deleting Gaming Services and redownloading it

Upon startup on my console, Ark shows 160.9 in the bottom left as the version number and my PC shows 159.13 which prevents me from using my PC as a dedicated server since the versions don't match. This started about 3 days ago and I have repeated the above steps multiple times to try to resolve the issue. If I delete the game and redownload it, the world the dedicated server is on would be lost as I have tested that on an old PC I have laying around. As far as I can tell, I also cannot make a copy of the file the dedicated server is on since the game is through game pass and I don't have access to the files on it like I would on something like Steam.

Hi, I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here.

There is nothing wrong on youe side. The update for the Microsoft Store´s Ark is not out yet.

There have not been any official statements by ARK nor Microsoft but the most probable thing is that the update is still being validated. All we can really do is wait

Thank you for the quick response and the peace of mind that I'm not going crazy. Looks like the update is out now on the Microsoft Store so I should be ready to roll again.

I'm afraid playing Ark with your friends won't be possible unless you access the game from the Xbox App on a Windows PC or through an Xbox console.

Another update, while my IP won't be out here until Thursday, I had a PC update and now my Microsoft Store won't download apps there either. So it seems to be the Microsoft Store on both Xbox and PC.
